New Amana Air Handlers
The indoor half of your HVAC system does more than you think.
What Does an Air Handler Do?
Your air handler is the indoor unit that moves heated or cooled air through your home’s ductwork. It contains the blower motor, evaporator coil, and air filter.
Every time your AC or heat pump runs, the air handler is doing the work of actually pushing that conditioned air into your rooms. If it’s undersized, outdated, or mismatched with your outdoor unit, the whole system suffers: uneven temperatures, higher energy bills, and more strain on every component.
Amana’s air handler lineup is designed to pair with their air conditioners and heat pumps for full-system performance.
Fan Motor Types, Explained
The Amana Air Handler Lineup
Amana AMST R-32
Fan Motor: Multi-Position, 9-Speed
Variable-speed fan coil with communicating capability. Compatible with two-stage air conditioners and heat pumps for enhanced efficiency and comfort. All-aluminum evaporator coil with high-performance coated fin stock, TXV for efficiency optimization, A2L compliant, AHRI certified, and ETL listed.
Amana ASPT
Fan Motor: Variable Speed
Delivers the right airflow and temperatures for consistent comfort with enhanced efficiency. ECM blower motors provide lower energy consumption and more precise airflow. Corrosion-resistant all-aluminum coil and TXV for efficiency optimization.
Amana 115V AHVE
Fan Motor: Variable Speed ECM
Improved humidity and comfort control compatible with the Amana smart thermostat. Rigid SmartFrame™ cabinet provides constant CFM across a wide range of static pressure conditions. All-aluminum coil for corrosion resistance. AHRI certified, ETL listed.
Built to Last, Built to Match
Amana air handlers feature all-aluminum evaporator coils. Aluminum resists corrosion better than copper-aluminum blends, which means a longer-lasting coil and fewer issues down the road.
Select models include Amana’s SmartFrame sub-structure, a rigid cabinet design that reduces vibration, holds components securely, and stands up to years of continuous operation.
The biggest factor in air handler performance is matching. When your indoor and outdoor units are designed to work together, the system runs at its rated efficiency. Mismatched components force both units to work harder, wear faster, and cost more to operate. That’s why Air Central installs Amana air handlers paired with Amana air conditioners or heat pumps as a complete, matched system.
Common Questions
In most cases, yes. A new outdoor unit paired with an aging air handler won’t perform at its rated efficiency. Matched components are designed and tested together, so replacing both gives you the full benefit of the new system.
That depends on your home’s square footage, layout, insulation, and ductwork. Air Central sizes every installation based on your specific home rather than defaulting to what was there before.
With regular maintenance, most air handlers last 15 to 20 years. All-aluminum evaporator coils (standard on Amana models) help extend that lifespan by resisting the corrosion that shortens the life of other coil materials.
A furnace generates heat by burning gas. An air handler doesn’t generate heat on its own. It moves air that’s been heated or cooled by another component (a heat pump or AC system). In heat pump setups, the air handler replaces the furnace entirely.
