An air handler is part of your HVAC system that helps circulate warm or cold air around your premises. Air handlers can make your HVAC system more efficient, but they can be pricey to purchase and install.

Air handlers are often installed alongside air conditioners. They suck in air and move it around your home and often include heating and cooling elements, air filters and blowers.

You might benefit from an air handler if you live in a hot or moderate climate. Air handlers with cooling coils can complement your air conditioner in hot weather by removing additional heat from the air and circulating the cool air more efficiently. Air handlers use heating coils heated by hot water supplied from a boiler or a tankless water heater, it could also help keep your home warm during colder months.

Air handlers air comparatively smaller than a traditional furnace. This can allow for greater installation flexibility. Air handlers are available in small duct high-velocity and low velocity variations. Air handlers are a low heat system, meaning they do not introduce over heated dry air from your vents causing wider temperature swings. They can provide comfortable heating for any size home.
