Indoor air quality
Indoor air quality is a vital component of residential high-rise living. Aging fan coils open the door to age-related issues that can directly compromise the indoor air quality of a building's ventilation system.
By retrofitting your fan coil you can expect an immediate improvement to your indoor air quality as compared to your existing aging coil.
HOW DO AGING
Fan coils affect your air?
Deteriorating fiberglass can detach due to air agitation and be blown into the suite. Studies have found that inhaling fiberglass insulation can aggravate asthma, causing bronchitis-like symptoms, and cause irritation in the throat and nasal passage. With most Canadians spending 90% of their time indoors, healthy indoor air quality is one of the single most important factors in considering a fan coil retrofit.
RISKS OF
Continued exposure to mould
"Repeated exposure to mould can potentially cause serious health conditions, including asthma. Mould inhalation can lead to an asthma attack where the airways narrow and become blocked by mucus. Mould can stimulate allergic immune responses and upon re-exposure inflammatory chemicals produced in the airways can cause an asthma attack. People with existing asthma are already hypersensitive and mould, like other allergens, could contribute to an asthma attack."

BENEFITS OF
A Unilux retrofit fan coil
The Unilux retrofit process starts with completely emptying the cabinet from all aging components and insulation. Adhering to EACC Level 2 abatement guidelines, the cabinet is scrubbed and sanitized. New closed-cell insulation, with anti-microbial properties, is then applied. All new stainless steel components ensure that future corrosion debris is mitigated. All of this leads to improved indoor air quality for your suite.
