How an Air Handler Can Improve Your Home

In the heat of the summer, it seems impossible for us to live without our air conditioning systems. Over the past several years, many people have also been switching during the winter season from their traditional furnace and baseboard heating in their homes to a heat pump system, which is similar to an air conditioner but of course uses heat instead of cold air.

Air handlers are the latest product we can’t live without in the HVAC industry. At Budget Air Supply, we offer several different options and brands of air handlers, including the Goodman Air Handler. An air handler system is an important system to have in your home for several reasons. First, let’s start by explaining what exactly an air handler is and what it consists of.

An air handler is a system that is utilized in conjunction with the heating and cooling components of your HVAC system. They typically run with your HVAC system so that they can control and regulate the air in your home while also cooling or heating your home.

Air handlers have several different components including the fan or blower, evaporator coils, and an air filtration processor. The fan usually consists of an electric motor that drives the fan and allows the air handler to move the air properly throughout your home. The evaporator coils are used to control the temperature within the air handler, cooling or heating the air appropriately in your home. The air filtration processor ensures that all of the air that comes through your air handler is free from dirt, dust, and any other type of germs so that it is free from your home.

At Budget Air Supply, we want you to be happy with all of your HVAC needs and decisions. We’re happy to assist you, which is why we came up with this guide for the benefits of an air handler, like the Goodman Air Handler, for your consideration.

Benefits of an Air Handler
• Cost-efficient: While you’ll have to purchase an air handler to work in unison with your HVAC system, they are a great way to save money in the long run. Since an air handler regulates the quality and temperature of the air, it’s likely that your HVAC system won’t constantly be turning on and off or increasing the cycle it’s on, which is definitely a cost-efficient solution. They also make sure that your HVAC system will not be overworked and will ensure that your HVAC system receives fewer repairs and maintenance.

• Energy-efficient: If you’re interested in finding alternate ways to keep your home energy-efficient, an air handler is a practical solution to that. They allow your HVAC system to run at a lower, more consistent pace, which means that your HVAC system will no longer have to turn itself on to its full power whenever your home needs additional cooling or heating. Since they also allow your HVAC system to run at a lower speed and cycle less frequently, air handlers only use the small amount of energy your home requires of it.

• Consistency: An air handler will ensure that your home has an even consistency of cool or warm air at all times. Traditional HVAC systems without air handlers are usually set for different cycles with certain time frames so that they automatically shut off and turn back on to full power whenever that cycle time is. For example, if you feel particularly cold in one area of your home but warm in a different area, this is a sign that your HVAC system is not consistently controlling the air, and you will need an air handler to properly do this. An air handler will constantly push and circulate the air throughout your home so that you’ll feel that same temperature in all areas of your home.

• Air Quality: An air handler removes all of the dust and dirt in the air before cycling the air back into your home, which is a great quality if you feel that your home’s HVAC system doesn’t have the type of air quality it should. They also work great for your home if you have any pets that can cause a decline in your home’s air quality or if you have any allergies and need to have a better method to control the quality of the air in your home.

• Quiet operation: Since an air handler works at a more consistent, low-speed pace, it also works at a much quieter volume, which is great if you are used to your loud HVAC system constantly turning on and off again.
