✅ Full Product Description
The MAXAIR low-velocity hydronic air handler is a ducted fan coil unit designed to provide heating using hot water from a boiler while supporting central air conditioning integration. Unlike gas furnaces, hydronic air handlers do not burn fuel or create heat directly. Instead, heated water circulates through an internal coil, and the blower distributes warm air through the home’s duct system, delivering consistent hydro-air heating.
Low-velocity hydronic air handlers are designed for homes with conventional ductwork, providing airflow characteristics similar to forced-air furnaces while using hydronic heat from a boiler or hot-water heat source. This allows homeowners to benefit from the comfort and efficiency of hydronic heating while maintaining familiar ducted air distribution.
MAXAIR low-velocity air handlers are especially suitable for:
-
Boiler-based hydro-air heating systems
-
Homes with standard ductwork
-
Furnace-to-hydronic conversions
-
Custom homes and renovations
-
Combined boiler heating and AC cooling
-
Mechanical room or closet installations
Hydronic heating systems maintain more natural indoor humidity levels compared to combustion furnaces, helping reduce dryness and improving comfort during Ontario winters. The MAXAIR low-velocity design distributes heat evenly through ductwork while remaining compatible with central cooling coils, humidifiers, and indoor air quality accessories.
These hydronic air handlers can integrate with central air conditioning or heat pump cooling by adding an evaporator coil, allowing a single duct system to deliver both hydronic heating and cooling. This configuration is common in hydro-air HVAC systems used throughout Ontario homes.
Bison Air installs MAXAIR low-velocity hydronic air handlers across Toronto and surrounding GTA communities including Markham, Richmond Hill, Vaughan, Aurora, Newmarket, and North York. Each installation is configured for proper boiler compatibility, airflow design, and duct integration to ensure reliable hydro-air system performance.
