Central Air Handler

A central air handler is a critical component of any HVAC system. It is responsible for circulating air throughout the home, providing comfort and maintaining a healthy indoor environment. The air handler is usually located in the attic or basement, and it is connected to the outdoor unit, which contains the compressor and condenser. The air handler works by drawing in air from the outside, filtering it, and then sending it through the ductwork to the various rooms in the home. The air handler also helps to regulate the temperature in the home by cycling the air through the system and controlling the speed of the fan. It is important to maintain the air handler regularly to ensure it is working properly and efficiently. Regular maintenance includes changing the air filter, cleaning the coils, and lubricating the fan motor. Proper maintenance of the air handler can help to extend its life and keep your home comfortable.
