About Air Handlers

Have you ever been lounging inside on a hot summer afternoon, relaxing and taking solace from the relentless heat, only to be blasted with a sudden rush of cold air from the air conditioner? This chill can be unexpected and uncomfortable. While homeowners may accept this behavior as an odd quirk from their split air conditioner or heat pump, this rolling cold front isn’t normal.

There has never been a better time to upgrade your home’s heating and cooling system. Manufacturers have listened to the needs and expectations of customers to design and deliver convenient, versatile, and affordable systems to heat and cool any type of living space. At Ingram's Water & Air, we stock the widest selection of heating and cooling equipment as well as top-of-the-line air handlers from leading HVAC manufacturers like Mitsubishi, Daikin, Gree and LG.

While the variety of air handlers and other cooling equipment can be intimidating for many homeowners, we make it easy to choose a new air handler system that’s right for your needs.

What’s the Difference Between an Air Handler and Air Conditioner?

An air handler is an important part of any air conditioner or heat pump split system. The air handling unit contains the evaporator coil and blower. It is the interior half of the system, connected to the ductwork and the condenser via communicating wire and refrigerant lines. In the case of a ductless system, the air handler admits and discharges air directly.

Air handlers are often confused with furnaces, but these units can operate with both heating and air conditioning equipment. The indoor evaporator coil maintains indoor temperatures and uses an air filter to remove any airborne contaminants or pollutants.

The most efficient and effective air handlers are equipped with a variable-speed motor. These components are constantly running, versus operating on full-speed or shut off entirely, and transition from low to high speeds depending on the current cooling task.

The main differences between an air handler and traditional air conditioner units is that air conditioners are typically installed outside of the home and work to remove heat in a space versus blowing cool air directly.

Why Do I Need an Air Handler?

If your home relies on a split-system air conditioner or heat pump system, then you do need an air handler for better comfort and efficiency. The air handler works to help circulate and distribute air that has been heated or cooled by the HVAC equipment.
