Maybe you’ve heard of air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are aware of the idea of an air handler, you may not know if you could use one to advance your home comfort in Ellsworth. We’re here to help you learn what an air handler is and if one would aid you in your home.

An air handler is the internal unit of a split-system air conditioner or a heat pump. In essence, an air handler does what its title says: it handles air. It helps your split system or heat pump push cooled or warmed air within the ducts of your house. The air handler utilizes 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 maintain adequate comfort levels inside your home. Some types of air handlers even use heat strips to bolster the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets calmer.

A correctly maintained and operating air handler can help decrease utility bills and a create an extended natural life for your split system or heat pump.
