ARCOAIRE electric furnaces · Updated October 29, 2026

The basement unit is chosen with the heat pump. Its backup heat comes next.

Electric heat is sold separately. It is a kit installed in the unit, and each size has its allowed outputs. Pick the size and the refrigerant: you see the units, and the backup heat the manufacturer allows for each one.

01 · Your unit

Which size, which refrigerant, which backup heat?

The outputs come from the heat-kit table printed for each family. Backup heat does not change the heat pump size: it steps in when the heat pump needs help.

Size

Heat pump refrigerant

The indoor unit’s refrigerant must match the heat pump’s: R-454B with the D5CUHA, R-410A with the others. The exact pairing is confirmed with its AHRI number.

All 27 ARCOAIRE indoor units, right below.

Each product gives the model, the refrigerant and the size. Electric heat is ordered separately, on the parts page. Pricing by quote.

02 · Furnace?

These are fan coils and air handlers.

Three words you hear for the basement unit, and what each one means.

FCM · FVM · FXM · FEM · FJM

Fan coil

The manufacturer’s word for the indoor unit that blows air through the ducts, matched with a heat pump or an air conditioner. Electric heat is an add-on option.

D5FUAA · D5FUHA

Crossover air handler

The brand’s name for the D5FUAA and D5FUHA, two R-454B units. For them, electric heat needs its own power supply; the D5FUAA has no single-point connection.

Our site

“Electric furnace”

That is this page’s name on our site: it is the word people search for. The manufacturer treats the electric furnace and the fan coil as two different indoor units.

03 · The families

Eight families, four series of heat kits.

Each family has its kit series; the FCM4X has two (EHK and EHC communicating kits). EHK and EHKMC kits are on our site; EHKMD and EHC kits are not.

Outputs from each family’s table, without the three-phase-only kits. The 24 and 30 kW kits arrive three-phase and convert to single phase on site. We do not have the manufacturer’s data sheet for the DLFUAA: it is the indoor unit of the certified DLCURA + DLFUAA systems on the central heat pump page.

The heat kits sold here: parts and accessories →

Did you know

Three things the manufacturer’s data tells you.

115 V

The D5FUAA can run on 115 V.

The manufacturer calls it 115 V conversion capable. On the 18K and 24K, the minimum circuit ampacity is then 5.5 A, versus 4 A at 208/230 V.

D5FUAA31-01PD, ed. 03/25, pp. 4 and 9

Turbo

Leak detected: the D5FUAA blows at full speed.

If its sensor detects a refrigerant leak (code EHC1 or EHC2), the unit switches to TURBO mode until the code clears, and it beeps: that is expected. The manufacturer then says to call a technician as soon as possible.

D5FUAA31-01PD, ed. 03/25, p. 18

2 pieces

The large FJM units come in a two-piece version.

From sizes 42 to 60, the FJM fan coil comes in a two-piece modular version, which makes attic and crawl space installs easier.

04 · Questions

What people ask us about these units.

Is it really a furnace?

Not in the manufacturer’s sense. They are fan coils and air handlers: they blow the air the heat pump heats or cools. With an electric heat kit, they add their own heat when the heat pump is not enough.

Is electric heat included?

No. It is a kit sold separately, and each unit size has its allowed outputs in the manufacturer’s table. On the D5FUAA and D5FUHA, it needs its own power supply.

Which heat pump goes with which unit?

The certified pairings are published: D5FUAA and D5FUHA with the D5CUHA, DLFUAA with the DLCURA, on the central heat pump page. The manufacturer also pairs the FJMA4X with the R4H5S in its tables. For the others, the pairing and its AHRI rating are confirmed before the quote.

I only replace the unit in the basement: is that possible?

Yes, if the outdoor heat pump or air conditioner stays compatible: same refrigerant and a recognized pairing. We check the outdoor model at the visit.

What about LogisVert?

Indicative amounts appear on complete-system product sheets: here, the six DLFUAA products paired with the DLCURA. Only Hydro-Québec confirms the amount granted.

How do you choose the backup heat output?

At the visit: we look at the house and the electrical panel. Then we pick an output allowed for the unit size, from the manufacturer’s table.
