We’re here to help you understand what an air handler is and if one would benefit 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 flow cooled or warmed air around the ducts of your house. The air handler contains the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, together with other workings. When the weather is hot, the air handler flows air through your home, which helps maintain correct comfort levels within your home. Some types of air handlers even use heat strips to strengthen the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets chillier.

A well-maintained and operating air handler can help lessen utility bills and a provide a lengthier natural life for your split system or heat pump.
