Geothermal Air Handler
Most manufactures build air handlers for multi-position applications that can be installed
for vertical, horizontal, or counterflow (downflow) use.

Build a sheet metal box, put two
holes in opposite ends of the box,
insert a fan, and you have an air
handler in basic form.
Add a hot water coil, and it
becomes a fan-coil for a hydro-air
application.
Add an evaporator coil and it
becomes the indoor unit for
central air or a heat pump.
Put electric heating elements,
circuit breakers and controls and
it becomes an electric furnace.
By today’s tradesman lingo, an air handler usually
refers to a unit in use for central air conditioning or
a hydronic to air system.
Hydronic to air refers to the water heated by an
outdoor furnace or geothermal heat pump as it
circulates through a water to air heat exchanger
for forced hot air heating.
A geothermal air handler offers the versatility of
safe installation when in contact with combustibles
without the risk of fire from combustion or high
temperature heating elements.
