An air handler is the indoor unit of a split HVAC system — a metal cabinet that contains the evaporator coil, blower motor, air filter, and (in heat pump systems) the auxiliary electric heat strip. It pulls return air through the filter, conditions it via the coil, and pushes the air through your ducts to each room.
What’s inside
- Blower motor and squirrel-cage fan
- Evaporator coil
- Air filter
- Electric heat strip (heat pump systems)
- Control board and safety switches
- Condensate drain pan
Air handlers pair with an outdoor heat pump or AC condenser. We service every brand through our air handler service, plus full heat pump and central AC service.
