Maybe you’ve been informed about air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are aware of the idea of an air handler, you may not be sure if you could use one to advance your home comfort in Tucson and Phoenix. We’re here to help you learn what an air handler is and if one would help you in your home.
An air handler is the interior unit of a split-system air conditioner or a heat pump. Essentially, an air handler does what its title 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, along with other mechanisms. When the weather is hot, the air handler circulates air through your home, which helps sustain correct comfort levels inside your home. Some types of air handlers even contain heat strips to strengthen the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets colder.
A correctly maintained and functioning air handler can help lower utility bills and a create a lengthier life span for your split system or heat pump.
