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 be sure if you could use one to improve your home comfort in Wilmington. We’re here to help you understand what an air handler is and if one would help you in your home.

An air handler is the indoor unit of a split-system air conditioner or a heat pump. In essence, an air handler does what its label 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 contains the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, along with other workings. When the weather is hot, the air handler circulates air through your home, which helps sustain proper 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 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.
