When you think about it, burning coal, wood, pellets or gas at a temperature of several hundred degrees just to heat the air and water to several dozen degrees is a terrible waste. That is why low-temperature heat sources are gaining popularity at such a rapid pace today, and fan coils , i.e. heaters and air conditioners in one, work very well with them.
From this article you will learn:
- what are the advantages of using fan coil units,
- what heating systems are they best suited for,
- what makes the Purmo Vido S2 fan coil stand out.
Are you renovating? Are you starting construction of a new facility? Regardless, energy efficiency and sustainability are crucial these days. This involves, among other things, the use of a heating solution that works with renewable energy sources, reduces pollutant emissions and operates at lower temperatures, which increases the efficiency of the system. Fan coil units perfectly meet these requirements, and because they can both heat and cool , they are an ideal solution for enjoying a comfortable indoor climate all year round.
A sustainable future depends on everyone
Climate neutrality by 2050 will not be achieved on its own - we all have to contribute. For homeowners, this means finding an environmentally friendly solution to heating and cooling their home and using renewable energy. When it comes to energy-efficient heating, heat pumps are at the top of the list of the most popular solutions in buildings and houses equipped with new heating systems.

The perfect partner for a heat pump
To maximize the efficiency of a heat pump, it should be combined with a low-temperature heat emitter, a device that releases heat into the rooms. In new private buildings , heat pumps are currently used mainly in combination with underfloor heating , but also as a supplement to it. Underfloor heating provides the most comfortable temperature distribution in the room, but is characterized by a longer response time to temperature changes.
Buildings have different needs for heat and cooling in individual rooms. Rooms may have different uses and, therefore, different expectations of household members regarding a comfortable temperature, such as an occasionally used office, guest room or fitness room. Another factor is sunlight, the orientation of the room in relation to the cardinal directions and the floor on which it is located, because rooms with windows facing south or located in the attic are characterized by higher heat gains. This is especially important in summer, when it is necessary to provide more cold in a short time . In such cases, a device with a quick response time, such as the new generation Vido S2 fan coil offered by the Purmo brand, is a perfect complement to underfloor heating and cooling. Its heat exchanger with a small water capacity, combined with a fan and smooth speed control, ensures rapid response and efficient operation without loss of energy efficiency.
The fan coil unit is not only for a new installation
Modernization of existing buildings to increase energy efficiency is a very good example of the use of fan coil units, because they can work in combination with modern condensing boilers or heat pumps . Moreover, they are versatile and allow many different mounting options: on the wall, floor, ceiling or built-in.
The fan coil unit can be easily installed in any room, except for rooms with high air humidity, such as a bathroom, kitchen or laundry room. The Vido S2 fan coil unit can also be installed on the floor, right next to tall windows . Just use the appropriate accessories, such as floor mounting adapters and a rear decorative panel.
Heating and cooling in one
Since hot days with lots of sunlight are now becoming more and more common as a result of ongoing climate change, solutions to cool the house are being sought . There is no need to install a separate air conditioning device for this purpose, because the Vido S2 fan coil unit can be used for both heating and cooling, as long as it is connected to a reversible heat pump or a separate cooling source. The technology of smooth fan speed regulation ensures that a precise amount of energy is delivered to the room and minimizes the noise level, thanks to which Vido S2 operates almost silently , regardless of whether it is in heating or cooling mode.
Intelligent control system
Designed to suit any installation, Vido S2 allows for great flexibility in interior design. In addition, this fan coil unit is equipped with an intelligent control system that can be managed via a built-in controller or remote controller , allowing you to regulate up to 30 different devices or connect to an intelligent building system.
