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 name says: it handles air. It helps your split system or heat pump flow cooled or warmed air around the ducts of your house. The air handler utilizes the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, along with other mechanisms. When the weather is warm, the air handler flows air through your home, which helps sustain proper comfort levels within your home. Some forms of air handlers even use heat strips to boost the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets colder.
A well-maintained and operating air handler can help decrease utility bills and a create a lengthier lifetime for your split system or heat pump.
