When a multi-family property or tight residential space requires an efficient, space-saving HVAC replacement, the First Co. 2.5 Ton 8 kW Horizontal Uncased Fan Coil 30HX8 is the definitive commercial solution. Unlike standard bulky air handlers that require a dedicated mechanical closet, the HX series is engineered strictly for horizontal, ceiling-recessed configurations. This makes it the industry standard fur-down air handler replacement for apartments, condominiums, and drop-ceiling residential layouts.
The true value of this 30,000 BTU cooling capacity unit lies in its ultra-compact physical dimensions. Featuring an exact 10-inch low-profile height, a 43.25-inch width, and a 21-inch length, this horizontal uncased fan coil slides completely out of sight into the ceiling plenum, saving valuable square footage. It serves as the hidden indoor blower component that matches seamlessly with your outdoor AC unit, delivering balanced air distribution without occupying floor space. This unit bypasses expensive distributor markups to offer commercial-grade performance at an optimized e-commerce price point, cutting down on initial hardware costs while lowering installation labor.
