Air Handlers

Modern Air Handling Solutions

An air handler is used in the absence of a furnace. For example, if you use a heat pump to heat and cool your home, an air handler is used.

Air handlers are also called fan coils, and they’re an important part of our Casa Grande air conditioning solutions. You see, a heat pump (or air conditioner) chills refrigerant and pumps it inside to be used for conditioning the air. An air handler has a large coil that houses the refrigerant, and a fan motor that pulls air from the home, and forces it through the coil.

When heat energy is transferred from the air to the coil, moisture condensates on the metal coil in your air handler. This can cause mold to grow, and mold will not only hurt air quality, but also efficiency. UV lamps mounted in the coil will prevent this from happening.

Variable-speed fan motors deliver consistent, quiet comfort throughout your home. Unlike older systems that cycle on and off abruptly, modern air handlers from Al & Riley’s Air Conditioning operate smoothly and efficiently — so you can enjoy comfort without the noise.
