Fan Coil Unit Installation, Servicing & Repairs Across Scotland
Fan coil units (FCUs) are widely used within commercial buildings to provide efficient heating and cooling at room level. Connected to either a chilled water and heating system or a direct expansion (DX) system, they help maintain comfortable indoor temperatures while offering flexible control for individual spaces.
At Sensible Building Services, we install, service, maintain and repair fan coil units throughout Scotland. Whether your building contains a handful of FCUs or forms part of a larger chilled water installation, our engineers provide practical solutions designed to maximise reliability, efficiency and long-term performance.
What Is A Fan Coil Unit?
A fan coil unit is a terminal device that uses a fan to draw air across a heating or cooling coil before distributing conditioned air into the occupied space.
Depending on the system design, fan coil units may be connected to:
Chilled water systems
Low temperature hot water (LTHW) systems
Heat pump systems
Direct expansion (DX) systems
They are commonly installed within offices, hotels, healthcare facilities, apartments, schools and other commercial buildings where individual room temperature control is required.
