Fan Coils: Installation & Maintenance

Man has not yet learned to adjust the weather outside to suit his needs. The room is another thing—modern climate technology allows you to create a microclimate that suits any taste in the middle of buildings. For this purpose, ventilation and air conditioning systems are used. One of the most popular is the chiller fan coil, a convenient and energy-saving system that works for years without special investments. But like any technical equipment, it needs regular maintenance and, sometimes, repairs. At first glance, it seems that you can easily clean the fan coil yourself. Practice shows that it is sometimes better to call an HVAC-R specialist for such work.

Timely cleaning of fan coil units is the key to the productive operation of air conditioning equipment

One key procedure that must be performed to maintain the efficient operation of a fan coil is regular servicing of the units. The equipment intensively pumps air and collects various impurities. Dust, dirt, and other contaminants accumulate in the interior and on the surface over time. At first, it is imperceptible. However, the presence of dirt manifests itself as a decrease in the performance of the equipment and an increase in the consumption of electricity.

Five signs that your fan coil needs maintenance

1. Extraneous noise and vibrations have appeared.
2. Power has decreased, or the unit does not turn on at all.
3. Water is dripping from the indoor unit.
4. There is an unpleasant smell after switching it on.
5. Electricity bills have increased significantly.

If you do not respond to these indicators, after some time, you will need to clean the fan coil and to fully repair or replace the equipment. This is another complexity and cost of work. It is better to do everything in advance, according to scheduled maintenance. Regular cleaning helps prevent many problems, saves money, and ensures the long-term operation of air conditioning systems without repairs.

Do-it-yourself filter cleaning

Some maintenance work on fan coils and other climate equipment can be done independently, such as cleaning the filters. It is necessary to follow the manufacturer’s instructions. Remember, maintenance should be carried out with the system turned off.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

• get the filter (in most models, it is located under the front panel);
• wash the mesh filter thoroughly with water;
• clean dust and dirt from rotary blinds and other elements;
• dry the filter and install it in place.

It is necessary to clean the filter at least twice a year, and more often with heavy loads and when working in dirty rooms. These simple actions will save the equipment from serious damage.

Maintenance of fan coils: Ensuring the reliability and durability of air conditioning systems

If cleaning the filter does not solve the problem, it is likely that pollution has reached a critical level. Professionals are indispensable. It is dangerous to disassemble fan coils yourself; you can easily damage the plastic parts or injure yourself. Do not worry about such things. Our specialists know how to quickly find the areas with the greatest pollution and bring them to order without delay. In addition to cleaning, you can order another service for fan coils. The main purpose of maintenance is to extend the service life of the equipment and preserve its productivity.

Fan coil maintenance includes:

• inspecting the condition of components visually;
• identifying potential problems;
• lubricating moving parts;
• cleaning filters and the heat exchanger;
• checking the tightness of pipelines and various nodes;
• controlling drainage system operation and insulation density;
• cleaning electrical components;
• Inspecting control boards;
• other works.

All types of scheduled maintenance for fan coils contribute to the creation of an optimal microclimate in production, warehouse, and residential premises. During such inspections, damage to the system or malfunctions of individual components may be detected. Timely repair of fan coils ensures the reliability of the equipment and helps prevent serious problems in the future. We know from experience that timely replacement of a damaged node can prevent expensive repairs for years.

Installation of fan coils for the modernization of the air conditioning system on the premises

It is better to replace outdated equipment or a unit that has exhausted its resources. The installation of climate equipment is entrusted to specialists. When installing, it is important to comply with existing regulations and consider the features of the unit. Deficiencies in the installation of fan coil units can lead to inefficient operation and increased energy consumption. Our specialists have the necessary work experience and equipment for installation. They are near you and will replace the fan coils quickly and efficiently.

Installation of the system includes several stages:

• Assessment of needs – Specialists analyze the needs of consumers and take into account the dimensions and construction of premises.
• Design – A system project is drawn up based on the received data, which includes the cost and location of fan coils, distribution of ventilation channels, and installation of drainage.
• Equipment selection – The specialists will recommend fan coil models that are best suited for the specific needs of a room and available engineering communications.
• Room preparation – The floor or ceiling is installed or reinforced for placing the equipment, and drainage systems are laid.
• Installation and connection – Equipment is installed, and electricity and ventilation are connected.
• Testing and debugging – The system is tested for proper functioning.
• Commissioning and support – The customer receives documents about the readiness of the system and, if desired, agrees to the maintenance of fan coils.

These steps may vary depending on the specific conditions and requirements of the project. The installation of fan coils must be carried out by qualified specialists with relevant experience in this field to ensure optimal results.
