{"title":"Air Handlers","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn \u003cstrong\u003eair handler\u003c\/strong\u003e is an essential part of many residential HVAC systems, working to circulate conditioned air throughout your home. Commonly paired with a \u003cstrong\u003eheat pump or air conditioning system\u003c\/strong\u003e, an air handler houses components such as the blower and evaporator coil that help move cooled or heated air through your ductwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether you're replacing an existing unit or installing a new HVAC system, choosing the right air handler means matching it to your outdoor equipment, home size, system capacity, and efficiency requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShop Residential Air Handlers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur selection of \u003cstrong\u003eresidential air handlers\u003c\/strong\u003e includes options for a variety of HVAC system configurations and capacities. Air handlers are available with features such as multi-speed or variable-speed blower motors, electric heat compatibility, and different installation orientations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen selecting an air handler, it's important to consider more than just the tonnage. The indoor and outdoor equipment must be properly matched to achieve the intended efficiency, capacity, and overall system performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAir Handlers for Heat Pump and AC Systems\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAir handlers are commonly used as the indoor component of \u003cstrong\u003eheat pump systems\u003c\/strong\u003e and certain central air conditioning systems. During cooling, refrigerant passes through the indoor coil while the blower moves air across the coil and distributes cooled air throughout the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen paired with a heat pump, the process can be reversed to provide heating. Many air handlers can also accommodate an \u003cstrong\u003eelectric heat kit\u003c\/strong\u003e for supplemental or backup heat when the system requires it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChoosing the Right Air Handler\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore purchasing a replacement air handler, verify the \u003cstrong\u003emodel number, capacity, refrigerant type, voltage, installation orientation, and compatibility with the outdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e. Matching equipment by tonnage alone does not guarantee that the components are designed or certified to operate together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor complete system replacements, selecting a properly matched indoor and outdoor combination can help ensure the system delivers its rated efficiency and capacity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAir Handler FAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does an air handler do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn air handler circulates conditioned air through your home's ductwork. Depending on the system, it typically contains an indoor coil, blower motor, filter area, and other components used to support heating and cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs an air handler the same as a furnace?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. A furnace generates heat using a fuel source such as natural gas, while an air handler primarily moves conditioned air and contains the indoor coil. Air handlers are especially common with heat pump and all-electric HVAC systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes an air handler work with a heat pump?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Air handlers are commonly paired with heat pumps. The air handler serves as the indoor portion of the system, while the heat pump provides heating and cooling through the refrigeration cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I replace just my air handler?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn some cases, but the replacement must be compatible with the existing outdoor equipment. Refrigerant type, capacity, efficiency requirements, controls, and approved equipment combinations should all be considered before replacing only the indoor unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat size air handler do I need?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAir handlers are commonly available in capacities ranging from about \u003cstrong\u003e1.5 to 5 tons\u003c\/strong\u003e, but the correct size depends on the home's heating and cooling requirements and the outdoor equipment being paired with it. A properly performed load calculation and equipment match should be used rather than choosing equipment based solely on square footage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDo air handlers provide heat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn air handler does not typically generate heat on its own. When paired with a heat pump, it distributes heat produced by the heat pump. Many models can also be equipped with electric heat kits to provide supplemental or auxiliary heating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere are air handlers installed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on the model and configuration, air handlers may be installed in locations such as a basement, utility room, closet, attic, or crawl space. Many models support multiple installation orientations, but the approved configuration varies by unit.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"goodman-2-ton-air-handler-multi-position-ecm-amst24bu1300","title":"Goodman 2 Ton Air Handler Multi-Position ECM AMST24BU1300","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGoodman 2 Ton Air Handler Multi-Position ECM AMST24BU1300\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Goodman AMST24BU1300 2 Ton Air Handler is a multi-position residential air handler designed to deliver efficient airflow, dependable performance, and year-round indoor comfort.
