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 title 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 utilizes the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, in conjunction with other workings. When the weather is burning, the air handler circulates air through your home, which helps uphold correct comfort levels in your home. Some types of air handlers even use heat strips to strengthen the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets calmer.

A well-maintained and functioning air handler can help decrease utility bills and a provide an extended life span for your split system or heat pump.
