An air handler is the internal unit of a split-system air conditioner or a heat pump. Basically, an air handler does what its name says: it handles air. It helps your split system or heat pump push cooled or warmed air through the ducts of your house. The air handler contains the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, in conjunction with other components. When the weather is hot, the air handler pushes air through your home, which helps uphold correct comfort levels within your home. Some types of air handlers even contain heat strips to boost 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 provide an extended natural life for your split system or heat pump.
