What Does an Air Handler Do?
September 10, 2012
An air handler (AH) is a critical component of a Springfield home’s heating or cooling system. In a central air conditioning system, the AH is typically housed indoors in the system’s central unit, a metal box that contains an air filter, a blower, dampers and other components that help the air conditioning system distribute and remove air in your home. One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning® of Springfield is pleased to offer air conditioning service in Springfield that includes AH installations, service and repairs.
Handlers typically use a large blower powered by a motor to blow air through your home’s duct work. Because the handler is the equipment that determines the amount of air that is circulated throughout your home, it’s important to ensure that your AC system has the right-sized AH. AH equipment can improve the energy efficiency and functionality of your Springfield’s air conditioning too, through the use of variable speeds, high quality air filters and humidity controls.
One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning® of Springfield can ensure that your HVAC systems are enhanced by quality handlers that will help keep your home at the ideal temperature and humidity level while conserving energy. From handlers designed to vary their speed according to the cooling needs of your home to those designed with whisper-quiet operation for installation near living areas, One Hour Heating & Air Conditioning of Springfield can install the best AH for your AC system.
Air conditioning repair often involves accessing the AH in your home’s central air conditioning system. Because AH inspections are part of regular air conditioning maintenance service, by scheduling regular AC service, you can help prevent AH repairs, ensure that your system is operating at peak efficiency and extend the life of your air conditioning system.
