Maybe you’ve been told about air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are familiar with the model of an air handler, you may not understand if you could use one to improve your home comfort in Magnolia. We’re here to help you recognize what an air handler is and if one would aid 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 push cooled or warmed air around the ducts of your house. The air handler contains the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, along with other mechanisms. When the weather is warm, the air handler circulates air through your home, which helps uphold adequate comfort levels in your home. Some models of air handlers even contain heat strips to boost the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets chillier.

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