"Lifebreath makes a nice unit with an ECM blower. They have models with and without an integrated HRV. They're a bit on the pricier side. Also, have long been a fan of the first co units."

Which Hydronic Air Handler

We are about to add hydronic air handlers to our options due to low BTU needs in California.  First Company is the only one that I have any real info on.  What companies do you like for Hydronic Air Handlers?  My particular application at this time is Horiz heat only, and I would like an ECM blower. This would probably be a common configuration for us. It looks like the First Company only has ECM on their upflow/vertical model.  Any help or comments would be appreciated.RichSee More
