Blueridge air handlers are the indoor portion of a split-system air conditioning or heat pump system (if you don’t have a furnace). Pair this air handler with an outdoor AC condenser to complete your cooling system, or with a heat pump for efficient heating and cooling. Add an optional backup electric heat strip to ensure optimal heat, no matter the outside temperature. The Blueridge BAH7E contains the upgraded, high-efficiency, constant-torque motor with 5 selectable speeds for quieter performance. Compared to older motors, this blower uses 35% less energy, saving you money. Air Handlers in this series use R-410A by default and can be field converted to R454B refrigerant.
