Maybe you’ve heard of air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are familiar with the model of an air handler, you may not be sure if you could use one to advance your home comfort in Moline. We’re here to help you recognize what an air handler is and if one would benefit you in your home.
An air handler is the interior unit of a split-system air conditioner or a heat pump. Essentially, an air handler does what its label says: it handles air. It helps your split system or heat pump circulate 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 hot, the air handler pushes air through your home, which helps uphold correct comfort levels in your home. Some types of air handlers even contain heat strips to bolster the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets chillier.
A correctly maintained and working air handler can help lower utility bills and a create an extended life span for your split system or heat pump.
