Why Do I Need an Air Handler?

You know that you receive warm or cool air through the HVAC system in your Cooper City, Florida, home, but do you know how that air gets delivered? Your system has a lot of components, but without the correct air handler, the air would not get distributed properly throughout your home. Let’s look at what the unit does and why you need one.

What Is an Air Handler?

The air handler is a device that sits inside of your home or in a designated closet. Inside of the air handler is a blower/fan, a coil, and an air filtration system. The fan blows the air over the coil, helping with the cooling process, and the filters capture dirt and dust before they enter your home.

Air Gets Evenly Distributed

Without the air handler, chances are that the rooms in your home won’t be evenly heated or cooled. The air handler is responsible for transferring and moving the conditioned air through the ductwork and distributing it into the rooms of your home via the air vents. If the air handler malfunctions, the HVAC system won’t have the capability to push the treated air evenly throughout the house. Keeping all parts of the HVAC system well maintained is crucial for optimum performance. Investing in a maintenance agreement with us will help to ensure that your HVAC system, including the air handler, receives regular maintenance.
