Maybe you’ve been told about air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are familiar with the concept of an air handler, you may not understand if you could use one to advance your home comfort in Crystal and Twin Cities. We’re here to help you understand what an air handler is and if one would help you in your home.

An air handler is the indoor 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 contains the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, in conjunction with other workings. When the weather is warm, the air handler flows air through your home, which helps sustain correct comfort levels inside your home. Some forms of air handlers even have heat strips to bolster the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets calmer.

A correctly maintained and operating air handler can help lessen utility bills and a deliver a lengthier natural life for your split system or heat pump.
