What is a fan coil unit?

The fan coil is a hydronic terminal that exchanges heat between the system water and the room air. Inside, a coil carrying the water and a fan distribute warm or cool air quickly and evenly. Unlike a traditional air conditioner, it does not work with refrigerant gas in the room, but with hot or cold water produced by a central generator.

How it works with hot and cold water

In winter hot water flows through the coil and the fan coil heats the room, while in summer cold water flows through it and the unit cools and dehumidifies. The same terminal therefore handles both seasons, provided the system can supply both hot and cold water. It is this versatility that makes the fan coil the heart of many modern heating and cooling systems.

Why it pairs with a heat pump

The most efficient pairing is the one between the fan coil and a heat pump: the generator produces low-temperature water for heating and cold water for cooling, and the fan coil turns it into immediate comfort. This way a single system covers the whole year. Alternatively, for heating only, the fan coil also pairs with a condensing boiler.

The types of fan coil

  • Wall-mounted: similar to a split, easy to install in already finished rooms.
  • Floor-standing: with a casing, handy when replacing radiators.
  • Recessed ceiling: hidden in the false ceiling, leaving only the grille visible.
  • Cassette: recessed into the ceiling, with air distribution on several sides.
  • Without casing: for installations inside recesses or false ceilings.

If you are looking for the invisible version, discover the recessed ceiling fan coils.

Advantages over other terminals

Compared with radiators, the fan coil heats far more quickly and, above all, can also cool. Compared with direct-expansion air conditioners, it works with a central water system, better suited when heat and cold come from a single heat pump serving the whole home. For air treatment in a single room only, wall-mounted air conditioners remain a valid choice too.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a fan coil and an air conditioner?
The fan coil works with hot or cold water produced by a central generator, such as a heat pump, while a direct-expansion air conditioner uses refrigerant gas. The fan coil is therefore the terminal of a hydronic system, not a standalone unit.
Can a fan coil both heat and cool?
Yes, if the system supplies hot water in winter and cold water in summer. The same fan coil heats when hot water flows through the coil and cools when cold water flows through it, handling both seasons.
Why pair the fan coil with a heat pump?
Because it is the most efficient combination: the heat pump produces low-temperature water for heating and cold water for cooling, and the fan coil turns it into immediate comfort. With a single system you cover the whole year.
What types of fan coil are there?
There are wall-mounted, floor-standing with casing, recessed ceiling, cassette and casing-free models for hidden installations. The choice depends on the room, the desired look and whether or not a false ceiling is present.
Does the fan coil replace radiators?
Yes, it can replace them. Compared with radiators it heats far more quickly and can also cool in summer, so it is a complete solution when paired with a generator that produces both hot and cold water.
How many models and brands are available?
In the catalogue you will find over 150 models from the leading manufacturers, including Aermec, Sabiana, Riello, Galletti and Climaveneta, all in stock. Prices start at around €48 and go up to the most powerful solutions, close to €894.
