Maybe you’ve been informed about air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are acquainted with the model of an air handler, you may not know if you could use one to improve your home comfort in The Bay Area. 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 internal 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 utilizes the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, together with other components. When the weather is warm, the air handler pushes air through your home, which helps sustain proper comfort levels inside your home. Some forms of air handlers even contain heat strips to strengthen the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets colder.
A properly maintained and operating air handler can help lessen utility bills and a create a longer natural life for your split system or heat pump.
