What Are Air Handlers and What Do They Do?

Maybe you’ve been informed about air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are aware of the concept of an air handler, you may not understand if you could use one to improve your home comfort in Warrenton. We’re here to help you understand what an air handler is and if one would aid you in your home.

An air handler is the indoor unit of a split-system air conditioner or a heat pump. Essentially, an air handler does what its name says: it handles air. It helps your split system or heat pump circulate cooled or warmed air through the ducts of your house. The air handler contains the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, in conjunction with other mechanisms. When the weather is burning, the air handler circulates air through your home, which helps uphold proper comfort levels within your home. Some forms of air handlers even use heat strips to bolster the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets calmer.

A well-maintained and working air handler can help lower utility bills and a provide a lengthier life span for your split system or heat pump.
