A Simple, Cost-Effective Solution for Replacing Aging Vertical Fan Coil Units.
We fully manage the complete process of upgrading the fan coil units in your building and offer full unit replacement in 4-6 hours with no impact to the walls or the rest of the building.
Vertical Fan Coil Units Deteriorate over time.
Coils become clogged and less efficient. Motors age and use excess energy. Water from the coil during cooling season causes components to rust leading to potential leaking and possible mold growth. Aging wiring and insulation begin to fail leading to expensive repairs and poor air quality.
What We Do
Our solution is designed with ease of installation in mind. The new unit slides into the existing cabinet and eliminates damaging drywall and the surrounding area in a suite. Reducing construction time also reduces installation time – the entire 8 step process is completed in 4-6 hours.
- Access the fan coil unit & prepare suite for project
- Remove the access panel to work on fan coil unit
- Remove all components from existing fan coil unit
- Remove insulation & clean wall cavity
- Re-insulate the cabinet with new insulation
- Insert the retrofit fan coil unit & and make all connections
- Replace the access panel
- Clean up area

Frequently Asked Questions
Will your replacement vertical fan coil unit fit and work in our existing fan coil cabinets?
Our retrofit solution works no matter what type of original fan coil equipment was installed.
Do we need to change supply and return valves?
If existing shut-off valves are not seized and are operational, it may not be necessary to replace the valves. This is a key component of our site visit and an item we thoroughly investigate before providing your team with a quotation for work. If the shut-off valves do need to be replaced, we will outline that work in the quotation and discuss all of the details with you.
Is there a time of year that these need to be installed?
While there is no set time of year to replace a vertical fan coil, we recommend doing it in the spring or fall – what we call “shoulder” seasons. During these seasons, the temperatures are more moderate and residents will be less disrupted by a lack of heating, cooling and ventilation while the new vertical fan coil unit is being installed. When replacing vertical fan coils, we like to keep residents front of mind.
What will our energy savings be?
Energy savings from replacing a vertical fan coil unit vary from building to building. You will save energy instantly due to the new technology in a new vertical fan coil. The motors and other electrical components are all new designs created to reduce energy consumption. Please contact us for Case Studies and more information.
Will we have better air flow?
Replacing your vertical fan coil unit will improve air flow and indoor air quality. Air flow improvement varies from building to building but, you can expect a drastic improvement. By replacing all of the old components we improve the strength and efficiency of the motor as well as eliminate the build up of dust, dirt and debris that have bogged down the fan coil over the years.
Do we need to worry about mould?
Mould should be addressed on a case-by-case basis. Old fan coils units create an environment where mould can grow, so it is possible that it exists. However, it’s not present in every fan coil unit and can resolved fairly easily. Our team will work with you and mould experts to determine the safest, most cost-effective way to deal with mould should you need to deal with it. Our replacement fan coil cabinets are lined with a closed-cell insulation to prevent mould from growing inside the new cabinet.
How long will the install take and how do we schedule an installation?
Installing a single retrofit vertical fan coil can be done in a few hours. The timeline for a full-building installation depends on the size of the building and the complexity of the existing fan coils.
This is not in our budget and the equipment is working fine now – why should I invest the money to replace now?
If your building is 15 years old or older, it’s time to consider replacing your vertical fan coils. Even if your equipment is operating fine now, it is reaching the end of its life. You may start to experience issues with varying components. Replacing vertical fan coils with our solution proactively eliminates this possibility and also greatly improves indoor air quality. Residents will notice an impact – even if the current HVAC equipment is working fine.
Finally, you will save energy. There are currently rebate programs offered by electrical utility companies in many cities to help reduce the cost of replacing fan coils. Besides the rebate programs, the new fan coils are a lot more efficient and will help drastically reduce the buildings’ and residents’ energy costs. So, replacing vertical fan coils can actually save you significant amounts of money.
