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
