Building a new heating and air conditioning system or upgrading an existing one, often requires difficult decisions. Many customers are confused about exactly what type of heater to use for their centralized system – whether it should be underfloor heating, whether it should be fan-coil units, whether it should be conventional radiators. Practice shows that the most effective choice is a combination of a heat pump in addition to underfloor heating and fan-coil units. This ensures maximum energy efficiency and the possibility of cooling the rooms in summer. That is why we would like to present you the most important advantages of the fan-coils units (FCUs):
Flexibility and Zoning
FCUs allow for precise temperature control in different rooms or zones. Each fan-coil unit can be adjusted independently, enabling personalized comfort. This makes them ideal for buildings with multiple rooms or zones that require different heating and cooling settings, such as hotels, offices, or multi-family residences. All the fan-coils of MARELI SYSTEMS are equipped with a touch screen display for intuitive and user-friendly maintenance.

Energy Efficiency
Since FCUs can be turned on or off as needed in individual zones, they avoid the need to heat or cool the entire building, saving energy. The capacity of the fan-coil units of MARELI SYSTEMS is two times higher than that of the common radiators. Hence, the heat is evenly distributed in the room. Thus, the units can save 30% energy consumption compared to the common heating radiators.
Compact and Space-Saving
FCUs are relatively compact and can be installed in walls or floors, making them a space-saving solution. They are particularly useful in buildings where space is at a premium. Their compact design also makes fan-coil units a good option for retrofitting existing buildings without requiring significant alterations. The fan-coils of MARELI SYSTEMS have only 135 mm casing.

Low Installation Costs
FCUs typically require less complex installation compared to traditional HVAC systems, especially since they use water pipes for heating and cooling instead of extensive duct systems. The decentralized nature of FCUs makes them easier and more cost-effective to install, repair, or replace individually.
Quiet Operation
Modern fan-coil units are designed for quiet operation, especially when used in spaces that require low noise levels, such as hotels, hospitals, and offices.
Versatility
FCUs can be used for both heating and cooling and are compatible with a variety of energy sources, including boilers and heat pumps. They are suitable for use in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings due to their versatility.
Minimal Ductwork
In systems where FCUs are combined with central heating and cooling plants, they use piping rather than ductwork, simplifying the design and reducing air distribution losses. MARELI SYSTEMS fan-coils can be installed on the floor or on the wall, with left or right connection.
Cost-Effectiveness
Fan-coil units generally have lower upfront costs compared to more complex central HVAC systems with large air handling units or ductwork.
