What is an air handler, and what is its purpose?

An air handler is a vital component of your HVAC system responsible for circulating conditioned air throughout your home. It houses key parts like the blower motor, evaporator coil, and air filter, working together to move warm or cool air through your ductwork.

Whether it’s heating in the winter or cooling in the summer, the air handler plays a critical role in maintaining your indoor comfort. At B. Carlson Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing, Inc., we’ve been servicing air handlers in Albuquerque since 1971—so you can trust us to keep yours running efficiently and reliably.
