Air handlers are the indoor workhorses of heating and cooling systems—moving conditioned air throughout your home, housing filtration, and integrating with heat pumps or air conditioners to deliver consistent comfort year-round.
Why Choose Air Handlers:
- Heat Pump Compatibility
Air handlers pair perfectly with heat pumps—no furnace needed for homes using electric or dual-fuel heating systems. - Variable-Speed Efficiency
Modern air handlers adjust blower speeds continuously, delivering precise comfort while using less energy than single-speed models. - Quieter Operation
Advanced motors and insulated cabinets run significantly quieter than older blower systems. - Enhanced Filtration
Larger filter compartments accommodate high-efficiency filters improving indoor air quality substantially
What Air Handlers Do
- Air Circulation – Variable-speed blowers moving air through ductwork to every room
- Temperature Control – Housing heating and cooling coils that condition air
- Air Filtration – Holding filters that clean air before distribution
- Humidity Management – Working with dehumidifiers or humidifiers for moisture control
- System Integration – Connecting outdoor units to indoor distribution networks
