What an Air Handler Does 

An air handler’s job is to deliver cooled or warmed air to your home. If your home has a split A/C system, there is a heat pump or compressor outside the house and an indoor air handler. These two components work together to keep you cool in warmer months a warm during cold weather. The air handler might be in your basement, attic, or closet and looks like a gas furnace. As the name implies, an air handle “handles” indoor air and distributes cooled or warmed air to rooms. 

Although air handlers can last the life of an A/C system, they may be damaged or broken and need to be replaced. You can count on Mura-Tech Services specialists for efficient, professional air handler replacements.

Professional Air Handler Repairs

Mura-Tech certified technicians can inspect air conditioning systems and determine whether a problem can be repaired to avoid replacement. Air handlers have several parts that might be repairable. If your system is less than ten years old, fixing issues is sometimes more economical than replacing the entire component.

Common issues that cause air handler problems include clogged fans and rusting components. Mold growth may occur if the A/C can’t pull moisture from the air or has sustained water damage. A sudden increase in energy bills might indicate the need for maintenance or repairs. However, frequent breakdowns and repairs could mean you should replace the air handler, and Mura-Tech Services specializes in air handler replacements in Charleston, SC.
