Maybe you’ve heard of air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are acquainted with the idea of an air handler, you may not be sure if you could use one to improve your home comfort in McKinney and Frisco. We’re here to help you understand what an air handler is and if one would aid 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 title says: it handles air. It helps your split system or heat pump flow cooled or warmed air within the ducts of your house. The air handler utilizes 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 maintain correct comfort levels within your home. Some models of air handlers even use heat strips to bolster the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets chillier.

A well-maintained and working air handler can help lessen utility bills and a provide a lengthier natural life for your split system or heat pump.
