What Is an Air Handler?

An air handler is a device that is responsible for circulating the air throughout your home or business. It is typically installed inside and is connected to your heating and cooling system. While the air handler itself doesn’t generate hot or cold air, it is responsible for distributing the conditioned air throughout your home.

There are several different types of air handlers, including:

• Single speed air handlers have a single motor speed and are always running at full capacity, regardless of the temperature. When the desired temperature is reached, the air handler will turn off, and then turn back on when the temperature drops. This can result in temperature swings and reduced comfort. Single-speed air handlers are also less efficient and more expensive to operate.
• Two-speed air handlers have two motor speeds: high and low. The high-speed setting is used when the temperature is far from the desired temperature, and the low-speed setting is used when the temperature is close to the desired temperature. This can help to reduce temperature swings and increase comfort. Two-speed air handlers are also more efficient and less expensive to operate.
• Variable speed air handlers have multiple motor speeds and are capable of running at a wide range of speeds. This allows them to respond to the temperature and humidity in your home and adjust their speed accordingly. Variable speed air handlers are the most efficient and cost-effective option.

Benefits of Installing a New Air Handler

Installing a new air handler can significantly improve the efficiency and comfort of your HVAC system, offering numerous advantages for homeowners. An air handler is a crucial component that works with your heating and cooling systems to circulate conditioned air throughout your home. Upgrading to a new, modern air handler ensures optimal performance and can enhance the overall functionality of your HVAC system.

Here are some key benefits of installing a new air handler:

• Enhanced Energy Efficiency: New air handlers are designed with advanced technology that improves energy efficiency, leading to lower energy bills and reduced environmental impact.
• Improved Air Quality: Modern air handlers come with enhanced filtration systems that can capture more dust, pollen, and other allergens, providing cleaner and healthier indoor air.
• Consistent Temperature Control: A new air handler ensures more even and consistent temperature distribution throughout your home, eliminating hot and cold spots.
• Quieter Operation: Newer models are engineered to operate more quietly, reducing noise levels and providing a more peaceful indoor environment.
• Increased System Lifespan: Upgrading your air handler can reduce the strain on your entire HVAC system, helping to extend its overall lifespan and reduce the need for frequent repairs.
• Smart Technology Integration: Many new air handlers can integrate with smart home systems, allowing for more convenient and precise control of your indoor climate.

Investing in a new air handler offers a range of benefits that enhance your home’s comfort, efficiency, and air quality, making it a worthwhile upgrade for any homeowner.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Air Handler

Choosing the right air handler for your home or business is important because it will directly impact your comfort and energy bills. If your air handler is too small, it will not be able to keep up with your heating and cooling demands, and you may experience temperature swings and reduced comfort. If your air handler is too large, it will cycle on and off more frequently, which can result in increased energy bills and reduced comfort. Working with a professional HVAC technician can help you choose the right air handler for your needs and budget.

Signs You Need Air Handler Repair

Some of the most common signs that you need air handler repair include:

• Strange noises: If your air handler is making strange noises, such as grinding, squealing, or banging, it is important to have it inspected by a professional HVAC technician. These noises can indicate a wide range of problems, from loose or damaged parts to worn-out belts.
• Reduced airflow: If the airflow from your air handler is weak or inconsistent, it could be due to a clogged air filter, a broken motor, or a damaged fan blade. A professional HVAC technician can inspect your air handler and determine the cause of the problem.
• Increased energy bills: If your energy bills have been steadily increasing, it could be due to a problem with your air handler. For example, if your air handler is cycling on and off more frequently than usual, it can result in increased energy bills. A professional HVAC technician can inspect your air handler and determine the cause of the problem.
• Short-cycling: If your air handler is turning on and off more frequently than usual, it could be due to a problem with the thermostat, the electrical wiring, or the motor. A professional HVAC technician can inspect your air handler and determine the cause of the problem.
