An air handling unit is the part of your central air system that handles, conditions, and purifies the air in your commercial building. Many commercial air handlers are custom ordered to fulfill your unique needs. They take the air from both inside and outside your building, filter it, adjust the temperature and humidity, then supply it to the appropriate rooms. By utilizing the outside air, they reduce the number of blowers needed to cool and filter a large commercial or industrial space.
An AHU is typically installed on a rooftop or along an exterior wall of your building. Their components include a filter, humidifier, heating and cooling elements, and a blower, as well as a few additional functional elements.
Your air handling unit is likely constantly in use. This means that it sees a consistent stream of dust and particles as it processes air for your building. Some industrial facilities may even have toxic chemicals or gasses introduced into the environment that require filtering.
By having your AHU cleaned by a professional, you maximize energy efficiency and the lifespan of the unit. We highly recommend having your air handler cleaned at least annually by a pro from the team at AirCare Environmental Services.
