NuTone air handlers And coils

NuTone Air Handlers. The Inside Story.

An outdoor unit is only the half of a split-system. The air handler is the inside half of the system. Working in tandem, outside and inside units must be matched in size and efficiency for best results. Failing to replace an indoor unit, or mismatching components, can significantly undermine a new air conditioner’s or heat pump’s performance. An air handler consists basically of a blower, an inside coil, and optional auxiliary electric heating strip. In the cooling mode, as air flows over the indoor coil, heat and humidity are drawn out. It’s the air handler’s job to then circulate conditioned air throughout the house. Ultimately, performance varies as a result of the blower motor choice.
