Air Handlers

The Core of Your Home’s Comfort

An air handler is the unsung hero of your HVAC system. While your outdoor heat pump or air conditioner creates the cooling or heating, the air handler is responsible for circulating that conditioned air throughout your home. Air handlers can be paired with a heat pump or air conditioner to regularly filter and diffuse conditioned air. This continual circulation helps the air quality within a residence or business by reducing dust and humidity, especially during the humid summers we experience in Racine and Kenosha. At Keystone Heating & AC, we offer a variety of high-performance air handlers, including the Rheem Endeavor™ Line, to meet every specific need and budget.

Whether you need a basic replacement or a high-efficiency upgrade, we provide products to meet every need and budget. By choosing a modern, high-efficiency air handler, you can significantly reduce monthly energy expenses while enjoying more consistent indoor temperatures.

Why Upgrade Your Air Handler?

Your air handler contains the blower motor and the evaporator coil. If this unit is outdated, even a brand-new outdoor unit won't perform at its peak. Modern air handlers, such as the Rheem Endeavor™ Line, offer several technological leaps over older models:

Variable-Speed Performance (Constant CFM)
Older units are either "on" or "off," leading to temperature swings. Modern air handlers feature variable-speed motors that adjust their speed to meet your comfort needs precisely. This provides more consistent airflow and superior humidity control during humid Wisconsin summers.

Smart System Integration
Energy savings can be enhanced further by pairing an air handler with a smart thermostat. These smart devices learn a household's routine and automatically adjust airflow to help save money while ensuring you are always comfortable when you are home.

Multi-Stage Airflow
Rather than running at 100% capacity all the time, multi-stage units can run at lower, more efficient speeds. This results in quieter operation and significantly lower energy consumption.

Improved Indoor Air Quality
Your air handler is the primary gatekeeper for your home's air filtration. Modern units are designed to work seamlessly with high-efficiency filters and internal UV purifiers to remove dust, pollen, and pathogens from your living space.

4 Major Benefits of a New Air Handler

A new air handler provides optimal benefits that aging, one-stage systems cannot match. Installing a modern unit comes with many advantages, including:

1. Maximum Energy Efficiency
Select air handlers have variable-speed capacity to use a reduced amount of energy compared to prior one-stage units. By ramping up and down slowly rather than blasting on and off, these units use only the electricity required to maintain your set temperature.

2. Upgraded Reliability 
A new air handler will deliver enhanced heating and cooling benefits for years to come. We often recommend units with all-aluminum evaporator coils, which are highly resistant to corrosion and leaks, ensuring your investment is protected against the wear and tear of Wisconsin's changing seasons.

3. Quieter Environment 
Today’s air handlers include state-of-the-art technology, such as insulated cabinets and advanced motor mounts, that make them much quieter while in operation. You will enjoy a peaceful home environment without the loud "clunks" or air whistles of older systems.

4. Superior Filtration and Air Quality 
Updated equipment often has two filters or specialized high-efficiency filter racks, which provide much fresher air within a home. Because variable-speed units run more often at lower speeds, they spend more time pulling your indoor air through these filters, effectively removing more dust, pollen, and allergens.
