Hydronic Air Handlers (Boiler-Based Duct Heating Systems)
Hydronic air handlers in Toronto, supplied and installed by Bison Air. A hydronic air handler uses hot water from your boiler or combi boiler to heat your home through ducts, and it can add central air with a cooling coil. There is no burner, gas line or venting at the air handler. We install MAXAIR air handlers, made in Ontario by AirMax Technologies, across Toronto and the GTA. Every price above includes standard installation.

- ✓ TSSA-certified gas technicians for the boiler side of the system

🔥 Pair It with a Boiler or Combi Boiler
A hydronic air handler needs a boiler to supply hot water. Many of our customers pair it with a combi boiler, so one wall-hung unit makes heat for the air handler and on-demand hot water for the house, with no furnace and no rented water tank. We size the boiler and the air handler together.
