What Is An Air Handler?
People often confuse air handlers and furnaces. An air handler, very often used with heat pumps, is the mechanism that regulates and circulates the air in a heating and air conditioning system. Unlike a furnace, an air handler does not burn fuel to heat the air that passes through it. In systems with separate heating and air conditioning units, the furnace’s fan is most commonly used as the air conditioning unit’s air handler. Since heat pumps do not burn fuel but instead transfer heat from one environment to another, an air handler is used to filter and propel the air through the duct system.
Servicing Your Air Handler
Your home or business relies on the air handler to keep your environment warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Without it, the heated or cooled air would not reach all the rooms in your home. That’s why ensuring its proper working order is so important. Regular maintenance can be the key to constant, uninterrupted comfort.
Certainly, there are things you can do on your own, if you are so inclined, to help your air handler to run smoothly. Changing the air filter on a regular basis, for instance, is something many homeowners feel comfortable taking care of on their own. But there is more to proper maintenance than keeping the air filter clean. We recommend getting our team to clean, inspect and adjust your air handler on an annual basis to keep it running efficiently and well.
Should your air handler break down, the First Mate technicians can diagnose the problem and get it working again quickly. We can also replace or install a new air handler for you, and all our work is completely guaranteed.
