Your HVAC system works hard to keep your home comfortable, but one key component often goes unnoticed—the air handler. This behind-the-scenes workhorse plays a crucial role in moving heated or cooled air throughout your space. When it starts to malfunction, you’ll notice the effects right away: inconsistent temperatures, poor airflow, and a rise in energy costs.
To avoid these issues, regular air handler service is essential. In this post, we’ll explore what an air handler does, why it matters, and how timely maintenance and expert care can make all the difference for your home comfort and system efficiency.
What Does an Air Handler Do?
Think of the air handler as the central hub of your HVAC system’s indoor operation. It contains the blower motor, coils, filters, and various controls that work together to circulate air through your home. It’s commonly paired with heat pumps, air conditioners, and some furnaces.
Because it operates frequently, keeping the air handler in good working condition is crucial to maintaining consistent airflow and indoor air quality. A neglected air handler can compromise your entire HVAC system.
