Maybe you’ve heard of air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are aware of the model of an air handler, you may not be sure if you could use one to advance your home comfort in Sarasota. We’re here to help you learn 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. In essence, an air handler does what its title says: it handles air. It helps your split system or heat pump circulate cooled or warmed air around the ducts of your house. The air handler utilizes the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, in conjunction with other components. When the weather is warm, the air handler flows air through your home, which helps maintain proper comfort levels within your home. Some models of air handlers even contain heat strips to bolster the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets chillier.
A properly maintained and operating air handler can help decrease utility bills and a provide a lengthier lifetime for your split system or heat pump.
