Air Handler Installation

An air handler is one of the most important parts of any HVAC system. It provides steady, reliable heated or cooled air throughout the year while filtering out any unwanted contaminants and ventilating fresh air into the house and stale air out. It can even provide further protection with air quality and humidity control upgrades.

When it comes time to choose a new air handler for your home, you want an expert on your side who understands the intricacies of these devices. The air handler experts at Acosta Heating & Cooling provide expert installation services in homes all across the Charlotte Metro area.

Whether you need a new air handler for your freshly updated furnace and air conditioner, or you just moved into a new home and are ready for a full overhaul of your comfort system, our product specialists are readily available to provide a complimentary consultation and assessment of your comfort system needs.

How Air Handlers Work

An air handler is a unit located in your home or building that has a blower fan, heating and/or cooling parts, filters, and dampers. the unit controls how much air is sent out through the air conditioner or heater. It also determines whether or not the air sent is warm or cool air.

Small air handlers for local use are called terminal units, and may only include an air filter, coil, and blower; these simple terminal units are called blower coils or fan coil units. The air handler connects to the ducts that distribute the conditioned air through the home or building and return it to the air handler through the return vent and air filter.

Air Handler Installation Considerations

When choosing a new air handler, the current heating and cooling systems in your home are very important considerations, as is the total heated square-footage of your home. Additionally, if you only need the air handler for a furnace or heat pump and therefore you’ll only be using it in the winter, you may not require dehumidification.

However, if you plan on using your air handler all year for both heating and cooling and you want to integrate other systems like humidification, UV germicidal lights, and air filtration, you want an air handler that can provide all the necessary protections and tools for your family’s needs.

When it comes time to choose an air handler, a technician will come to your home and measure a number of things such as the total amount of space in your home that needs to be heated and cooled, your current ventilation setup, the size and output of your furnace and air conditioner, and the current condition of your ductwork.

Installing an Air Handler

Once you’ve selected an air handler that fits your home’s needs, it’s time to start the installation process. If you already have a complete HVAC system in place, the old air handler will be removed and space made for the new system. During installation, your heating and cooling may be unavailable, so it’s best to schedule installation for the spring or fall when the temperatures don’t demand 24 hour access to your comfort system.

If your installation is an emergency job, rest assured that our technicians will have your new air handler in place quickly so you can get your home’s HVAC system back up and running in no time.

During installation is a good time to have your entire HVAC system inspected, even if it isn’t due for a checkup. This way, you can be sure that nothing is wrong before the new air handler is used. If there is a problem with your system, you want to catch it immediately. Cleaning and inspecting existing heating and cooling parts will rule out other potential causes of problems in your system.

Air Handler Experts

The heat pump installation process may seem simple, but it’s important to have a professional do it. Not only does a heat pump need to be carefully calibrated, it’s designed to work all year for more than a decade. Without proper care during installation, it likely won’t last nearly as long as intended.
