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 label 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, in conjunction with other workings. When the weather is hot, the air handler pushes air through your home, which helps sustain proper comfort levels within your home. Some types of air handlers even contain heat strips to bolster the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets calmer.
A properly maintained and working air handler can help lessen utility bills and a deliver an extended lifetime for your split system or heat pump.
