What Is An Air Handler And What Does It Do?

Maybe you’ve heard of  air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are familiar with the model of an air handler, you may not know if you could use one to advance your home comfort in Lodi. 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. Basically, 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 encompasses the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, along with other workings. When the weather is hot, the air handler pushes air through your home, which helps uphold proper comfort levels in 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 operating air handler can help decrease utility bills and create a lengthier natural life for your split system or heat pump.
