a box that contains a blower and an a-coil
a sheet metal box containing one or more fans and several motor-driven or spring-loaded dampers
A generic name for a device consisting of a blower and a finned-tube heat exchanger. It is used to either heat or cool the air passing through it based on the temperature of the fluid circulating through the tubes of the heat exchanger.
a fan or blower for moving air within a distribution system
This is a device that moves and mixes air. They include fan blowers, coils, filters and expansion mechanisms.

The portion of your heating and cooling system that forces air through your home's ductwork.
Also known as the "indoor unit", the air handler is the evaporator section of your air conditioning system. It circulates and delivers the cooled air. The indoor unit contains the evaporator coil, an indoor fan motor and, sometimes, a heat strip (for supplemental heating).
An air moving and/or mixing unit. Residential air handlers include a blower, a coil, an expansion device, a heater rack and filter. Heaters for air handlers are sold as accessories. In some models heaters are factory installed.
The device that moves the air across the cooling coil in a forced-air system normally considered to be the fan and its housing.
Parts of a system including the fan-blower, filter and housing.
Indoor unit of an air conditioning system which contains heat exchange coil, filters, and fan. Provides conditioned air into the space.
The portion of your air conditioner or heating system that forces air through your home's ductwork.
The indoor part of a central air conditioning or heat pump system that moves cooled or heated air throughout the ductwork of your home. An air handler is usually a furnace or a blower coil.
Fan-blower, filter, heat transfer coil, and housing parts of a system. Also known as the blower section and part of the split system, this unit is commonly in your home or attic and blows the air through your house. This has to be matched with the condenser properly to assure maximum efficiency. This will contain your heating and evaporator coil.
The blower, filter, cooling coil, and housing parts of an HVAC system.
A sheet metal box which houses fans, heating and air conditioning coils, etc. to heat or cool air. Usually found in attics or basements.
The portion of a central air conditioning or heat pump system that moves heated or cooled air throughout a home's ductwork. In some systems, a furnace handles this function.
The air handler functions as the evaporator section of the air conditioning system. The air handler is typically located indoors and its primary purpose is to circulate the conditioned air.
Short for air-handling unit, the blower equipment in a furnace, heat pump, or similar appliance designed for circulating heated or cooled air through a central heating system.
