Most people don't think much about the air handler—it usually just gets called "part of the AC" or "part of the heater." But in reality, it's the piece that pushes air through your ducts and into every room. If it's not working right, nothing else works the way it should.
When it's installed correctly, though, your home stays comfortable, your system runs efficiently, and the air you breathe is cleaner. That's why it's worth trusting the experienced team at Waggoners for your air handler installation in Norman, Oklahoma, and the surrounding area.

Getting a new air handler should be easy to understand. Here's how your air handler installation service comes together from start to finish.
The price of a new air handler depends on a few things: the size of your home, the layout of your ductwork, and the type of unit you choose. A basic single-speed model will cost less up front, while a variable-speed unit with higher efficiency—rated to match systems with SEER2 16 or higher—may cost more initially but can save you money on bills month after month.
Installation costs also change if we need to adjust ductwork or upgrade electrical connections. What doesn't change is how we handle pricing: it's always clear, upfront, and honest. Financing options are available, and we'll treat you the same way we'd treat our own family—no hidden fees, no surprises, just straight answers.
Great service speaks for itself. Here’s what some of our thousands of happy customers have shared about their experience.
With something as important as your air handler, you want to get it right. But how do you know which one to buy? What size will actually fit your home? And did you know there are features that can make your air cleaner and your bills lower?
At Waggoners Home Services, we install every unit to code and by the book—no shortcuts. We'll also walk you through your options so you can make a confident decision about your new air handler. Here's more on what we'll talk about together:
Putting in a new air handler isn't just swapping one box for another. First, we take a close look at your current setup—your HVAC system, ductwork, and electrical—to make sure everything will connect the way it should. Then we set the new unit in place, tie it into the system, and double-check things like airflow, safety switches, and drain lines. Before we leave, we test it top to bottom so you know it's running the way it should.
Bigger or smaller isn't better—getting the size right is what matters. A unit that's too small will run constantly and still leave rooms stuffy. Too big, and it short cycles, wasting energy and wearing itself out early. That's why we run proper calculations based on your home's size, layout, and insulation. The right fit means steady comfort, lower bills, and a system that lasts longer.
Today's air handlers do a lot more than just move air. Many come with variable-speed blowers that run quieter and keep temperatures more even. Some have built-in filtration that helps with dust, pollen, and pet dander. And if you're into smart home tech, certain models sync with smart thermostats for better efficiency. We'll walk you through what's available so you can decide what makes sense for your home and budget.
Your air handler is the muscle behind your AC or heat pump. A more efficient model moves air smoothly without guzzling electricity, which means your bills go down and your other HVAC equipment doesn't have to work as hard. We'll break down the ratings in plain language and show you how investing in efficiency now can save money year after year.
Air handlers need routine care to stay reliable. That includes regular filter changes, coil cleaning, and inspection of the blower motor and electrical components. Without air handler maintenance, small issues can turn into big problems that shorten the life of the unit. Our maintenance services and membership plans are designed to catch those problems early, keep your system clean, and extend its lifespan—so you can enjoy dependable comfort year after year.
We often get calls about an air conditioner or heat pump that seems to be failing, but many times the issue isn't outside at all—it's inside. The outdoor unit does the cooling or heating, but the indoor air handler is what actually pushes that conditioned air through your ducts and into every room. Inside this one box are the blower motor, coils, filters, and controls that keep everything moving. When the air handler starts to give out, you might notice weak airflow, hot or cold rooms that never seem to match the thermostat, ice building up on the coils, musty or dusty air, or loud noises every time the system kicks on. If you're dealing with rising energy bills, air that feels stale, or breakdowns that keep coming back, replacing the air handler can solve the problem.

It depends on what's wrong and how old the system is. If your air handler is under 10 years old and needs a small repair, fixing it is usually the right move. If it's 15 years or older or facing something major like a failed blower motor or corroded coils, replacing it will save money and frustration long term. Waggoners Home Services has repaired and replaced thousands of air handlers across Norman, and we'll give you an honest opinion about what makes sense for your system.
Most air handler installations finish in one day. Replacing an existing unit usually takes 4 to 6 hours, while installations requiring ductwork modifications can take longer. During your consultation, we'll outline the estimated schedule so you know exactly what to expect. Our professional HVAC technicians work efficiently and cleanly to restore comfort quickly.
Every home is different. Our team measures your square footage, insulation, ductwork layout, and system requirements before recommending the right size. Correct sizing ensures your new air handler moves air evenly, runs efficiently, and works properly with your outdoor unit. Waggoners Home Services takes the time to size systems properly—no guessing, no overselling, just the right fit.
With proper installation and maintenance, most air handlers last 15 to 20 years. Oklahoma's demanding climate can be tough on equipment, which is why annual tune-ups make such a difference. Waggoners Home Services offers maintenance plans to keep your air handler maintained, efficient, and ready for both summer heat and winter cold.
