An air handler is the interior unit of a split-system air conditioner or a heat pump. In essence, an air handler does what its name says: it handles air. It helps your split system or heat pump circulate cooled or warmed air within the ducts of your house. The air handler contains the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, together with other workings. When the weather is hot, the air handler flows air through your home, which helps maintain adequate comfort levels in your home. Some types of air handlers even have heat strips to boost 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 a create a longer natural life for your split system or heat pump.
