Air Handlers
Keep Your Home Comfortable with a Properly Functioning Air Handler
Your air handler is a key part of your HVAC system, working behind the scenes to circulate conditioned air throughout your home. While your air conditioner or heat pump is responsible for heating or cooling the air, the air handler moves that air through your ductwork, so every room stays comfortable. When it's working properly, you probably won't think about it, but when it's not, you'll likely notice uneven temperatures, weak airflow, or reduced system performance.
An air handler contains several important components, including the blower motor, evaporator coil, air filter, and other parts that help regulate airflow. Because these components work together every time your heating or cooling system runs, normal wear and tear can eventually affect your home's comfort and your HVAC system's efficiency.
Keeping your air handler in good condition not only helps improve comfort throughout your home but can also reduce unnecessary strain on your HVAC system, helping it operate more efficiently year round.
