Maybe you’ve been told about air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are aware of the model of an air handler, you may not know if you could use one to enhance your home comfort in Wausau. We’re here to help you recognize what an air handler is and if one would benefit you in your home.

An air handler is the interior 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 flow cooled or warmed air through the ducts of your house. The air handler utilizes the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, along with other components. When the weather is warm, the air handler flows air through your home, which helps maintain adequate comfort levels in your home. Some forms of air handlers even contain heat strips to strengthen the heating power or your heat pump when the weather gets colder.

A well-maintained and working air handler can help decrease utility bills and a deliver a lengthier lifetime for your split system or heat pump.
