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 improve your home comfort in Hodgenville. 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 indoor unit of a split-system air conditioner or a heat pump. Essentially, an air handler does what its name says: it handles air. It helps your split system or heat pump circulate cooled or warmed air within the ducts of your house. The air handler encompasses the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, together with other workings. When the weather is burning, the air handler circulates air through your home, which helps uphold proper comfort levels within your home. Some types of air handlers even have heat strips to boost the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets chillier.

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