Can anyone give me advise as to how you would handle inspecting a air handler? No gas, No burners to inspect, etc. What do you look for? Do you disassemble?

Verify that it responds to the command of the thermostat and produces heat. There should still be a filter to check. Unless you want to measure if the heating elements are all functioning(beyond the scope a typical Home Inspection) That's it.

There is a wood burning fireplace. Other than that no.

What are their capacity rated at? Unlike a gas furnace, BTU'S

Can you tell by the label what wattage? I can not locate. "I have not failed, I have just found a 1000's way's that didn't work" Thomas Edison www.newbeginningshomeinspection.com |

Any labels will indicate several heat kits that can be installed. You have to take it apart to find out unless the installer marked it.
Or as posted convert Amperage to BTU's. |
