Frequently Asked Questions

What does an air handler do?
The air handler circulates conditioned air throughout your home via the ductwork. It contains the evaporator coil (for cooling), blower motor, air filter, and often the electric heat strips for supplemental heating.
How do I know if my air handler needs repair?
Signs include reduced airflow, uneven temperatures throughout your home, unusual noises from the air handler, water leaks around the unit, or higher energy bills.
Can I replace just the air handler?
Yes, but it's important to match the new air handler to your existing outdoor unit. Mismatched systems can reduce efficiency and may void warranties. We'll ensure proper matching.
How often should the air handler coil be cleaned?
In Florida's humid climate, we recommend cleaning the evaporator coil annually as part of your regular AC maintenance. A dirty coil reduces efficiency and can cause the system to freeze up.
