Maybe you’ve heard of air handlers. Maybe you haven’t. Even if you are familiar with the concept of an air handler, you may not know if you could use one to advance your home comfort in West Valley City. 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 interior unit of a split-system air conditioner or a heat pump. Essentially, an air handler does what its title says: it handles air. It helps your split system or heat pump push cooled or warmed air around the ducts of your house. The air handler utilizes the evaporator coil and the blower in your ventilation system, together with other components. When the weather is burning, the air handler flows air through your home, which helps uphold correct 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 calmer.

A correctly maintained and working air handler can help decrease utility bills and a provide a lengthier life span for your split system or heat pump.
