How Air Handlers & AC Systems Differ

The main differences between an air handler and an air conditioner lie in their functions, components, and roles within the HVAC system. An air handler circulates conditioned air throughout a building, working with heating systems to distribute warm air in winter and cool air in summer. It contains components like blowers, filters, coils, and dampers, typically installed indoors. An air conditioner is a standalone cooling system that removes heat from indoor air, comprising outdoor and indoor units. Both systems play essential roles in maintaining indoor comfort, but their functionalities and installations differ significantly.

When is HVAC Replacement Needed?

Most HVAC systems last 10–15 years, affected by size, weather exposure, and installation quality. Regular maintenance is key. Signs of an aging system: weak heating, cooling, and ventilation; high bills; frequent repairs. As it wears out, it uses more energy, which leads to high bills and repairs. Consider upgrading to a new unit if expenses and repairs increase.
