What is an Air Handler?

An Air Handler is an indoor unit that pairs with an outdoor unit; together, they form a heat pump (or split system).   The handler is able to deliver hot or cool air throughout your home all year long, meaning you can stay comfortable whether it's a sweltering summer day or a chilly winter evening. Furthermore, O'Brien can install these systems in several convenient places in your home including your attic or crawl space.

Feel this might be the system for you? Here at O'Brien Service Company, we offer several Trane air handlers and stand proudly by the Trane name.

Trane Air Handlers:

Trane revolutionized air handlers when they introduced the Hyperion.  Trane says, “The Hyperion™ air handler is built unlike anything the market has ever seen. It is constructed more like a refrigerator than a typical air handler, with insulation between the walls of the innovative cabinet. This insulation prevents condensation that may cause damage to the air handler itself or your home. In addition to eliminating 'sweating,' the cabinet also eliminates the loose fibers from fiberglass insulation that may enter the airstream with other air handlers. Also, the exclusive double-wall construction provides families with peace of mind and cleaner, safer indoor air.

For the ultimate in efficiency, the Hyperion XL’s variable speed blower motor fine tunes airflow, while its Comfort-R™ technology controls humidity. Setting the industry standard when it comes to design and intuition, the Trane Hyperion offers durability, efficiency and comfort you’d expect from a Trane."

"My experience with O'Brien was amazing. Our system designer Tom was a pleasure to work with. We are extremely satisfied with our new Trane system we purchased from them. I will gladly do business with them again. The technicians that did the install were kind, courteous, and helpful." -Nicole & David S. (Wilmington 28405)
