Where Comfort Control Meets Quiet Efficiency
When it comes to maintaining occupant comfort in buildings with many individual rooms – such as hotels, healthcare buildings, dormitories and office spaces – horizontal fan coil units are behind-the-scenes heroes. They deliver individualized temperature control while staying out of sight and out of mind. Compact and quiet, these units are usually installed above ceilings, making them ideal for spaces where floor area is limited but where comfort can’t be compromised.

Heat Smart, Save Energy
Fan trench heaters are specialized heating devices that are embedded within a trench in the floor or mounted in a low-profile enclosure at floor level, typically along the perimeter of a room or under windows. This type of heater combines a heating element, such as a multipass water coil or electric resistance heater, with a fan to enhance air circulation and heat distribution.

Best Practices for a Successful Mechanical System Design
Understanding how much space a fan coil unit needs is imperative for mechanical system design. Incorrect assumptions can create deviations between contract documents and finished buildings, which can lead to change orders and increased project costs for building owners. The type of fan coil unit, the options it is configured with and the overall design of the building’s HVAC system all influence the final installation requirements.
