These air handlers provide air conditioning for a zoned VAV system. The air handler is an integral part of an air conditioner system. The air handler contains a blower, air filters, some coils (DX or chilled water), hot water coils (not all air handlers have heating coils in them), and some controls. Read more below.

It is important to make sure all HVAC mechanical systems have regular scheduled preventive maintenance. Many commercial air handlers, such as these York air handlers, have filter racks in them which hold a bank of filters. These HVAC filters protect the coils from clogging with dust and add some indoor air quality to the building. It is necessary to make sure these air filters are changed on a regular basis. Another item to look at is the blower. Large air handlers like this usually have bearings which need to be greased on a regular basis. These large blowers are also belt driven and the belt should be changed on a regular basis.
