Help with fan coils. Bit off topic (but there isnt a renewables thread)

Renewable M · Nov 30, 2009

Maybe someone can help with this one.

I need about 70 fan coils, for low temp heating from a bank of air source heat pumps. Theres about 40 wall mounted and the rest are ceiling units. Wall units 1.2kw and the others 2.5kw (ish)

They need to heat and cool (from the heat pumps).

The issue is, I've just had one mad man try to sell me 70 'suitable' units with 70 remote controls (!!!!!!!!!!!). Can you imagine handing the client a box with 70 remotes in it.....😱

They are for a care home so cant have controls on them or switches etc

Cant find any that can be wired back to a panel and switched from heating to fan only (for cooling).

Any idea who I can try?????????

thanks

Great, thank you for the pointers.

Its not my install, we're supplying the four heat pumps, I'm just helping the installer we've given the job to, in finding the right kit.

cheers

dont bother with the remote controls, get a panel company like nobbs and jones to build you a purpose built panel to your specs, it can then include outside sensors, room sensors, room optimizers and in built fan speeds to suit every room. wont be cheap but will be effiecent.
