Air Handlers and All-Electric Furnaces
-
Select if:
- You are replacing a standard air handler or electric forced-air furnace
And / or...
- You want a great air handler / electric furnace, but not a top-of-the-line one with the most advanced comfort features
- Your air handler / electric furnace will be located inside the home, attic, crawlspace, basement, etc.
- You have (or are planning on having) central air conditioning
- You have 220 volts AC available
- (Note – This equipment is compatible with central air conditioning. To select this equipment with a central air conditioning system, use our easy Kit Builder)
- (Note – An equipment type called "air handler" with an optional "electric heater coil" is the equivalent of an electric furnace with an air conditioning-ready evaporator coil.)

Select if:
- You are replacing a modular blower or electric forced-air furnace
And / or...
- Your modular blower will be located inside the home, attic, crawlspace, basement, etc.
- You have 220 volts AC available
- (Note – This equipment is compatible with central air conditioning. To select this equipment with a central air conditioning system, use our easy Kit Builder)
- (Note – A "modular blower" with an optional "electric heater coil" is the equivalent of an electric furnace. Also, a "cased evaporator coil" can be attached to the outlet of the modular blower to make the modular blower central air conditioning (or heat pump) compatible. The difference between a modular blower and an air handler is that an air handler already has an evaporator coil pre-installed in it. Also, a modular blower with a cased evaporator coil can usually acheive a slightly higher air conditioning efficiency (SEER). See product specification sheets for details.)
