Maybe you’ve been informed about air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are acquainted with the model of an air handler, you may not understand if you could use one to improve your home comfort in South Beloit and Belvidere. We’re here to help you understand what an air handler is and if one would help you in your home.

An air handler is the indoor 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 encompasses the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, along with other mechanisms. When the weather is burning, the air handler pushes air through your home, which helps uphold proper comfort levels within your home. Some models of air handlers even use heat strips to boost the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets colder.

A correctly maintained and functioning air handler can help lower utility bills and a create a longer natural life for your split system or heat pump.
