An air handler is the indoor 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 within the ducts of your house. The air handler utilizes the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, in conjunction with other mechanisms. When the weather is burning, the air handler flows air through your home, which helps uphold adequate comfort levels in your home. Some models of air handlers even use heat strips to bolster the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets colder.

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