✅ Product Intro
The MAXAIR low-velocity hydronic air handler is an energy-efficient boiler-based fan coil designed for conventional ducted heating and cooling systems. Using a hot-water hydronic coil and ECM variable-speed blower, MAXAIR delivers quiet, consistent comfort and efficient airflow for hydro-air HVAC systems in Toronto and GTA homes.
✅ Key Benefits
Hydronic air handler for boiler-based heating
Low-velocity airflow for conventional duct systems
ECM variable-speed motor for low energy use
Compatible with central air conditioning coil
Compact installation for mechanical rooms or closets
Quiet continuous airflow and improved comfort
Professional installation across Toronto & GTA
✅ 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 furnaces, hydronic air handlers do not burn fuel or generate heat directly. Instead, heated water circulates through an internal coil, and the ECM blower distributes warm air through the home’s ductwork, delivering efficient and comfortable hydro-air heating.
Low-velocity hydronic air handlers are ideal for homes using conventional duct systems, providing stable airflow and balanced temperature distribution similar to forced-air furnaces but powered by hydronic heating. This allows homeowners to benefit from boiler efficiency while maintaining familiar ducted air delivery throughout the home.
MAXAIR low-velocity units are especially suitable for:
-
Boiler-based hydro-air heating systems
-
Homes with standard ductwork
-
Custom homes and renovations
-
Furnace-to-hydronic conversions
-
Combined boiler heating and AC cooling
-
Mechanical room or closet installations
The integrated ECM motor enables continuous low-energy airflow circulation, improving temperature stability, filtration performance, and indoor air quality while reducing electrical consumption compared to conventional PSC blowers. This results in quieter operation and more consistent comfort throughout the home.
These hydronic air handlers can also accommodate an evaporator coil for central air conditioning or heat pump cooling, allowing a single duct system to provide both hydronic heating and cooling. This configuration is common in Ontario hydro-air HVAC designs.
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.

✅ Installation & System Requirements
Hydronic air handlers require a boiler or compatible hot-water heat source and do not operate as standalone heaters.
Proper sizing depends on boiler capacity, duct design, and airflow requirements.
Standard installation is included. Final installation scope may vary depending on electrical, duct, or mechanical conditions.
✅ Warranty
Parts: 1 year
Labor: 1 year (standard installation)
An optional extended 10-year labour warranty is available for $700, providing long-term installation coverage and service assurance.
