The Trane Air Handler Cooling Your Home

We often take for granted the inner workings of our air conditioning units. So long as your home is continuously kept at a comfortable temperature, you've probably never given your air conditioner a second thought. However, in order to understand that giant hunk of metal attached to your home, you should understand how it works. If you have a two part system, as most units are, then your air conditioner actually consists of both your outdoor unit that's easily visible and the less visible Trane air handler that resides quietly somewhere in your home.

Working Together Efficiently

As it was stated, your air conditioning unit consists of more than just the visible outdoor unit. However, let's talk for a moment about the outdoor unit and its role in cooling your home. The outdoor unit pulls in hot air from outside and cools it. This newly cooled air is then sent indoors to your Trane air handler. At this point, the air handler is charged with the job of circulating the cooled air throughout your home. You might imagine that the larger part of this team, the outdoor unit, is the largest and therefore most responsible for running up your utility bill. However, if your air handler is not running at peak efficiency this is more likely the cause of increased utility costs as the larger outdoor unit then has to work doubly hard.

A Full Line of Efficient Products

In addition to producing highly efficient air conditioners with high SEER ratings Trane also manufactures a line of upstanding air handlers. Depending on your specific cooling needs there is a Trane air handler that will fit your home perfectly. For instance, let's say that your home is already squeezed for storage space. It would be a shame to waste precious closet or attic space on a large, bulky air handler. The Trane 4TFE is a compact air handler that still boasts the efficiencies of its larger counterparts. If your home is rich on space, and you desire a larger system, the Trane 4TEE air handler is a variable speed air handler that increases or reduces its output based on the needs of your home.
