Trane Air Handler: A Compliment to Your Air Conditioner

The inner workings of your air conditioner might be a complete mystery to you. You’re probably under the assumption that your central air conditioner consists of only one large unit, that giant hunk of metal affixed to the side of your home. This is simply not the truth. In fact there are two parts of your central air conditioning system: the main outdoors unit and the air handler. A quality air handler, such as a Trane air handler, is an essential part of the heating/cooling process.

The Buddy System

Your air conditioner has two parts: the outdoor unit and the air handler. You’ve probably never noticed your air handler before as it’s tucked away most likely in your attic. The outdoor unit takes in air from outside and cools it. It is then transferred to your indoor unit, or air handler, which is given the task of circulating the newly conditioned air throughout your home. The efficiency of your air handler is essential to saving you money on your utility bill. The more efficient your air handler the less work your larger outdoor unit has to do to cool your home, which translates into less energy used over all and cheaper utility costs.

The All Star Line Up

Trane air handlers come in a variety of sizes and efficiencies. The 4TEE air handler is a variable speed air handler. This type of air handler varies it’s speed based on the heating and cooling requirements of your home, offering a consistent and energy efficient cooling comfort. This air handler is capable of communicating with the Trane XL20i and XL16i air conditioner units to produce the maximum efficiency. The Trane 4TFE and 4TEH air handlers are more compact air handlers capable of fitting into the tightest of spaces. But don’t let their size fool you; these units are still capable of meeting the high quality and efficiency standards of their larger counterparts. Trane also carries a line of convertible air handlers, like the 4TEC air handler, capable of meeting many different installation requirements in homes where space is limited.
