Why Choose a Rheem Air Handler?

The good old faithful air handler might just be the most often overlooked aspect of any given HVAC system, and sadly, your air handler deserves a lot more credit than that. Everyone loves to compare the specs of their furnace or condenser or even their heat pump. They compare energy efficiency ratings, motor power, coil protection, and of course, sheer power, all the while letting their air handler fall by the wayside with little to no recognition.

Be that as it may, your air handler is a critical component of your HVAC system. Think of it this way. If your air conditioning unit is capable of removing 100,000 BTUs of energy from the air (thus cooling the air down by the equivalent of 100,000 BTUs) that’s great news. But what happens then? If the cool air has nowhere to go, do you ever enjoy the benefits of summer-free of stickiness?

Of course not - but that’s all thanks to your air handler. The humbly named air handler is largely or entirely responsible for the circulation of air around a given space, whether that space is a home or office. Depending on the system you’re using, the blower motor of your air conditioner or condenser just might not be adequate to satisfactorily circulate the air around a space. Thus, you need a reliable air handler to complete the job. That’s why they call it an HVAC system. One component doesn’t deserve the glory.

Therefore, you can see why you need a quality air handler. Why then, should you choose a  Rheem air handler when there are so many options out there for you to choose from. That’s a good question, and one that is best answered by taking a look at a specific model so we can investigate its strengths - but before we do, know the following about Rheem.

Rheem Manufacturing Company has a long and storied history of innovation and success. They are coming up on their hundredth year of operation and they are the only company that provides heating and cooling solutions for your home and pool, along with water heating systems as well as refrigeration products. When it comes to heating and cooling, no one has more experience, whether in atmospheric or aquatic environments. On the front of experience, Rheem Manufacturing ranks atop the competition and reigns supreme.

If you take a specific look at an example of a Rheem air handler, however, you can see in more certain terms precisely how their equipment is often superior to the competition. Consider the Rheem RUUD 2 Ton 14 SEER Split Air Conditioning System that you can find here on our site. The Rheem air handler that comes with it is a work of art and innovation and is built for performance, resilience, and maintenance.

This Rheem air handler comes with a PSC motor and is capable of attaining 15 SEER - even better than the efficiency rating of the entire system. The air handler is capable of 4-way operation. Whether you need upflow, downflow, or horizontal flow, it can provide. It’s important to note as well that it can provide two-way horizontal flow. There’s no one size fits all approach here.

The cabinet construction of the air handler is built to last through many seasons and contains an inch of foil faced insulation to help keep sound to a minimum while enhancing the insulative properties of the unit. The evaporator that comes as part of the unit is made of aluminum fins that are bonded to the aluminum tubing for the highest level of quality and resilience - aluminum is tough, strong, and relatively unreactive. It also comes with a 2-speed ⅕ HP blower motor so you can save energy when you don’t have the same needs in heating and cooling throughout the different times of the year.

The point of all of this is that a Rheem air handler is a beast of a workhorse that is designed to fit into your HVAC system with ease and deliver consistent performance and results. They are built to last, to keep vibration and noise to a minimum, and to be easy to service when the time comes. The same could be said for Rheem’s other HVAC systems and units, but this is the air handler’s time to shine.
