What Is an Air Handler?
An air handler is basically a blower. Air handlers are typically indoor units and they are used to circulate both hot air and cold air throughout interior environments via your home’s duct system. Air handlers work in conjunction with the air conditioner, heating, and indoor air quality elements of an HVAC system to deliver filtered, heated, or cooled air throughout the space. Air handlers are very efficient and can be used year-round to maintain a comfortable home environment and keep the temperature steady.
Types of Air Handlers
There are a few types of air handlers used along with residential HVAC systems. They are:
- Single-Speed Air Handlers
- Multi-Speed Air Handlers
- Variable-Speed Air Handlers
Single-speed air handlers run at full capacity every time they’re turned on. You won’t have any control over the heating and air conditioning delivered by this type of handler. They also consume a lot of energy.
Multiple-speed air handlers typically offer two or three separate levels of operation, which gives you more control over their heating and cooling delivery. They start out working at full capacity, and then, gradually, decrease their operating power to maintain the desired temperature in the space.
Variable-speed air handlers deliver maximum efficiency with multiple speed settings. They start out at the lowest power level, and then automatically adjust their operational power to manage the current temperature and atmospheric conditions of the given space. They typically cost much less to operate than single-speed or multiple-speed air handlers.
Benefits of Variable-Speed Air Handlers
There are loads of benefits associated with a variable-speed air handler, including:
- Significant savings on monthly energy bills
- More consistent, uniform air conditioning and heating, year-round
- Smooth operation at the lowest needed levels, plus quiet and very cost-effective
- Even at the lowest possible levels of operation, air quality is improved by nonstop filtration
If there is a downside to variable-speed air handlers, it’s that they can be rather pricey initially. However, when considering the long-term savings they typically create, most homeowners agree that they are worthy investments.

Expert Air Handler Repair and Replacement Services in Indianapolis
If you already have an air handler, it’s important to understand the difference between when it needs repairs and when it needs replacement. Read on to see the signs for both, and consider giving Armor Air’s HVAC experts a call to provide you with the next steps.
When to Consider Air Handler Repairs
If you’re experiencing these issues and your air handler is under ten years old, you should get it repaired:
- Your energy bills have gone up
- Your system is blowing warm air, which could be from a damaged compressor
- An odor coming from your HVAC system, which could be from mold or mildew build-up
- Making a rattling noise
Armor Air’s experienced HVAC team can repair or replace any of the broken components ailing your air handler including blowers, controls, filters, heating and cooling elements, and humidifiers.
When to Consider Air Handler Replacement
Other reasons you should consider replacing your air handler include:
- The unit is 10 to 15 years old
- The AHRI (Air Conditioning, Heating, & Refrigeration Institute) rating doesn’t match the AHRI rating on your current HVAC system
- If it freezes in the middle of the Summer
- Your energy bills are higher than they were the same time last year
- Inconsistent or low airflow

What our clients say
Dean Laigle
I don’t like writing negative reviews but this may be the only way to get a response from Armor Air. Two weeks ago I spent over $12K for a new heat pump. Adding a heat pump qualified me for a tax reduction for the year. However, I still haven’t received any paperwork for the new unit. I called many times and asked for the warranty, manuals, and other paperwork needed. The only thing I’ve received is an invoice which does not suffice for what I need. I also informed them that the technicians did a poor job. The panel unit was installed upside down which made it unsecured. When I removed it I notice they didn’t bother to put my filter back in and it was full of trash (parts from their work. See photo below). This trash/garbage could definitely cause a major problem if it got sucked into the unit. They also left the place very messy and dirty. If I was an elderly person or someone with no knowledge of what they did then I would definitely have problems down the road with their work. COME ON PEOPLE. HOW HARD IS IT TO GIVE GOOD SERVICE?!?
Update: I am changing my review to positive because the owner (Jamie) reached out to me personally and assured me that he would take care of my issues. He even followed up our initial phone call with another one to make sure I received what I was needing. If the owner can take the time to ensure customer satisfaction, then I think this company deserves another review.
2nd Update: As luck would have it, my blower went out on my furnace. Freddie came that day a diagnosed the problem. Being a Friday they had to order the blower and couldn’t install it until Monday. They actually came early and installed the new one, replaced my thermostat with a newer more advanced one I had before , cleaned up and we’re on their way. A supervisor (Dave) also stopped by and answered all my questions and I noticed he was working well with Freddie in repairing the furnace. Very happy with the job and price.
Update #3
My furnace went out Monday. I called Armor Air to look at it. Being that it was more than 20 yrs old and things were starting to go on it I decided to get a new one. Freddie (one of the best) came by that same day and after consulting with the workers, who were very skilled, came up with 6 different options for me. He didn’t try to upsell me on anything and even recommended a lower priced model since I’m using the hybrid system. He said he’d have it replaced the next day. Sean showed up early Tuesday morning and installed a new one and took the old one away. During his installation he noticed a leak from above the furnace coming from my toilet. He called the home office and they sent a plumber (Ryan) right out to fix that problem. Afterwards Sean went over everything I needed to know about my new unit and even gave me some pointers on how to make it more efficient. A+ to these guys!

Armor Air just installed a new Heat Pump unit in our home. We are so pleased with everything from start to finish. Technicians were polite, very professional, and we love this new heat pump. Our furnace stopped working the temp was about 25 degrees. We were so impressed with how fast they came out & installed the new unit.

Robert and Casey came to do a tune-up of our boiler and HVAC systems and they were very knowledgeable. Very friendly and explained everything about how the system (boiler) works, we had no idea it being our first time with that kind of system. Would definitely recommend the company, always a good experience.
