A variable-speed fan coil that follows the size of your outdoor unit

What the FVM4X4800BL is

The FVM4X4800BL is the indoor part of an R-410A central system: it receives refrigerant from the heat pump or air conditioner, conditions the air and distributes it through your ducts. Its 1/2 HP variable-speed ECM motor covers a range of 425 to 1,600 CFM, and Arcoaire’s tables list it with outdoor units of size 30, 36, 42 or 48. The three-row aluminum coil ships with its TXV already installed at the factory.

That flexibility suits large homes, cottages with a finished basement and properties whose outdoor unit will be replaced later: the cabinet adjusts to the size of the unit chosen. The model is available while supplies last.

Humid summers, cold winters: what it brings to a home here

In July, comfort does not depend on temperature alone. The FVM4X has a built-in dehumidification function, so the supply air is drier on muggy days. The cabinet is insulated with 1 in of R-4.2 insulation, and its published air leakage stays below 2% at 0.5 in of water column.

In winter, the Heat Pump Comfort option lowers the airflow in heat pump heating to deliver warmer air, which avoids the feeling of a cool draft at the registers. For extreme cold, an electric heater kit can be added to the cabinet; it is sold separately and we choose it based on your electrical panel and your needs.

The cabinet installs upright or lying on its left side as standard, on its right side after a minor modification, and downflow with accessory kits. The washable filter is factory supplied.

What AirGreen’s installation covers

Everything starts with a free on-site estimate. We note the size of your outdoor unit, the condition of the ductwork and the space available, then you receive a written quote. At installation, our technicians set the cabinet, connect the refrigerant line set, the drain and the power supply, set the airflow for the outdoor unit size and the mode you want, then commission the system.

Our RBQ licence 5645-9605-01 covers ventilation, refrigeration and electrical work. AirGreen is a family business established in Montreal for more than fifteen years; our teams also work in Laval, on the North Shore, in Longueuil and on the South Shore.

Let’s plan your project

Sold alone, this fan coil does not qualify for the LogisVert grant: the grant follows a certified outdoor unit + air handler pair. If you are also replacing the outdoor unit, we present both scenarios in the quote.
