What is an Air Handler?

An air handler is a key part of your HVAC system that circulates air throughout your building. It contains the blower, filter, and heating or cooling elements, depending on the system. It’s what pushes heated or cooled air through your ductwork to keep your home or building comfortable.

Your HVAC system depends on an air handler to push air through your property. Without it, you’ll get poor temperature control, uneven airflow, and declining indoor air quality. Air handler issues can also cause inconsistent temperatures and unusual humidity levels.

Signs You Need a New Air Handler

Air handlers usually fade out with warning signs that are easy to miss if you’re not paying attention. If you’re noticing any of the following issues, your air handler might be failing. Contact us for an inspection before one of these problems becomes a bigger issue.

A person feeling uncomfortable due to heat
  • Weak Airflow: Air feels stagnant or stuffy in some rooms compared to others.
  • Uneven Temperatures: The system runs but struggles to maintain a steady temperature.
  • Strange Noises: Rattling, grinding, or buzzing may point to loose or failing parts.
  • Higher Energy Bills: The unit works harder than it should, driving up monthly costs.
  • Outdated Equipment: Units older than 10–15 years often lose performance and efficiency.
  • Poor Air Quality: Dust buildup, musty smells, or humidity issues can signal airflow problems.

Air Handlers for Commercial Properties

Poor airflow can drain efficiency and raise operating costs. In many cases, the air handler is the weak link in the system. Good thing we don’t just do homes. We handle air handler installs in offices, stores, warehouses, and more.

We work with top HVAC manufacturers and offer modern air handlers with multi-speed motors, integrated filtration, and energy-saving technology. That means better comfort, fewer maintenance headaches, and lower bills for your building.

After everything’s hooked up, the system gets tested for performance and any signs of leaks. Once it’s running smoothly, we'll walk you through basic operation and maintenance.

At a glance, our process includes:

  • Assessment

Types of Air Handlers We Offer

The three main types of air handlers are packaged units, split systems, and fan coil units. Depending on your property and HVAC system, the type of air handler you install can make a big difference. Some of the common types we install include the following.

  • Packaged: All components in one single unit. Easy to install but less flexible. Common on rooftops.
  • Modular: Consists of customizable sections that can be added as needed. Used in commercial settings.
  • Single-Zone: Simpler air handler that serves one area. Good for small homes or standalone spaces.
  • Multi-Zone: Designed to serve multiple zones with individual temperature control. Good for larger buildings.
  • Draw-Through: Draws in air through the coil. More commonly used in commercial settings for dehumidification.
  • Blow-Through: Blows air through the coil. These compact units are usually found in residential units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do air handlers work with both heating and cooling systems?
Yes. They circulate both heated and cooled air depending on the season and your system setup.
How long does it take to install an air handler?
Most residential installations take about 4–8 hours. Commercial installs can take longer depending on the size and complexity.
Can I just replace the air handler without replacing the whole HVAC system?
Yes, but it depends on compatibility. Efficiency and performance can take a hit if the air handler and outdoor unit aren’t matched properly.
What size air handler do I need?
That depends on your building’s square footage, ductwork, and HVAC load. We calculate this during the initial assessment.
Is there regular maintenance required after installation?
Yes, change your filters regularly, keep the area clear, and schedule our professional maintenance at least once a year to keep things running right.
