When it comes to optimizing your HVAC system’s performance, refurbishing your air handlers can be a game-changer. Two key components that greatly impact efficiency and overall system performance are the coil and fan system. In this post, we will explore how replacing the existing coil and upgrading to an ECM fan array system can revolutionize your commercial or industrial building’s HVAC capabilities.
Upgrade #1: ECM Fan Array Upgrades
If you’re looking to reduce power consumption and enhance energy efficiency, ECM fan upgrades are the perfect solution. These upgrades offer a multitude of benefits, including:
Significant Energy and Cost Savings: By replacing your existing fan system with ECM technology, you can expect a remarkable reduction in energy usage. Buildings that have made the switch report saving up to $80K in annual maintenance costs and experiencing a 45% decrease in energy consumption. The return on investment (ROI) is typically achieved within 1.5 to 4 years, making it a smart long-term investment.
Potential Energy Rebates: ECM fan upgrades may qualify for energy rebates, allowing your customers to further maximize their savings. These incentives provide an additional incentive for businesses to prioritize energy-efficient HVAC solutions.
Proven Track Record: ECM fan upgrades are already in use in numerous buildings across North America. The reliability and success of these systems make them a trusted choice for enhancing HVAC efficiency and performance.
5-Year Parts Warranty: ECM Fan Array manufacturers such as QPAC stands behind the quality of its products, offering a 5-year parts warranty. This commitment to customer satisfaction ensures peace of mind and long-term support.
Plug and Play System: Installing new fan systems for air handlers can be time-consuming and disruptive. However, ECM fan upgrades are designed to be a plug and play solution, significantly reducing installation time. In fact, some installations have been completed within a few hours.

Upgrade #2: Coil Replacements
When bringing your air handler units back to life, replacing the coil is a simple yet effective solution in doing so. Some of the benefits include:
Improved Performance: Upgrading the coil of your air handler can significantly enhance its overall performance. A new coil ensures efficient heat transfer, resulting in better temperature control and improved air quality within your commercial or industrial space.
Extended Equipment Lifespan: A worn-out or faulty coil can put strain on the air handler and other HVAC components, potentially shortening their lifespan. Replacing the coil helps ensure the longevity of your equipment, reducing the need for frequent repairs and replacements.
Improved Air Quality: A new coil helps maintain clean and healthy indoor air. It reduces the risk of mold and microbial growth, enhances filtration capabilities, and ensures proper ventilation, creating a healthier environment for occupants.
Cost Savings: Upgrading the coil can lead to significant cost savings in the long run. Improved energy efficiency reduces utility bills, while fewer breakdowns and repairs translate to lower maintenance and replacement costs.
