Maybe you’ve been told about air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are aware of the model of an air handler, you may not know if you could use one to advance your home comfort in Laurel. 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 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 contains the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, in conjunction with other mechanisms. When the weather is burning, the air handler flows air through your home, which helps maintain adequate comfort levels within your home. Some models of air handlers even contain heat strips to strengthen the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets calmer.
A well-maintained and functioning air handler can help lessen utility bills and a deliver a lengthier life span for your split system or heat pump.
