Fan Coil Refurbishment
Fan coil refurbishment provides a cost-effective alternative to complete replacement, helping building owners improve performance, reduce energy consumption and extend the operational life of existing fan coil units.
By upgrading ageing systems with modern fan technology, enhanced controls and replacement components, Ability can deliver improved efficiency, quieter operation and reduced maintenance requirements, often with significantly less disruption than a full replacement programme.
Why Refurbish ?
Many older fan coil units remain structurally sound but no longer operate as efficiently as modern systems. Refurbishment allows organisations to retain existing assets whilst benefiting from new technologies, improved controls and enhanced performance.
Contractors working on major refurbishment programmes have seen running costs reduced by up to 50-80%, helping to deliver rapid payback whilst avoiding the disruption and cost associated with full replacement.

Download our eBookHow it works?
1. Initial Site Assessment
Our specialists review the installation and discuss project objectives, challenges and system requirements.
2. Refurbishment Proposal
A free report is produced outlining available options, recommendations and indicative timescales.
3. Detailed Survey
Once a preferred solution is identified, a more detailed survey is undertaken to confirm scope, pricing and implementation schedules.
4. Installation & Commissioning
The agreed refurbishment works are completed with minimal disruption to building occupants and operations.
Witness Testing & Validation
Following a site survey, Ability team can replicate proposed refurbishment solutions within our dedicated testing facility in Poole, Dorset. Using customer drawings and system layouts, testing allows project teams to validate refurbishment choices before works commence on site. Testing capabilities include:
- Acoustic testing
- Volumetric performance testing
- Thermal performance testing
Clients receive a detailed report including test results, photographs, layout drawings and calibration certificates, providing confidence that refurbishment proposals will meet project requirements.
Benefits of Fan Coil Refurbishment
Lower Running Costs
Improve system efficiency and reduce ongoing HVAC energy expenditure.
Reduced Carbon Impact
Lower operational carbon emissions whilst avoiding the embodied carbon associated with manufacturing and installing new units.
Quieter Operation
Modern EC fans and upgraded controls can significantly reduce noise levels and improve occupant comfort.
Minimal Disruption
Refurbishment is typically far less intrusive than full replacement, helping buildings remain operational during works.
Extended Asset Life
Extend the lifespan of existing fan coil units by up to 10-15 years whilst benefiting from modern technologies.
Lower Capital Costs
Targeted upgrades can deliver significant performance improvements at a fraction of the cost of full replacement.
Reduced Waste
Retain and upgrade existing assets rather than disposing of complete fan coil units.
Faster Installation & Commissioning
Where existing coils and pipework remain suitable, refurbishment can reduce installation time, commissioning requirements and associated costs.
Considering Fan Coil replacement?
Achieve the benefits of a new system through refurbishment at a fraction of the cost, disruption and environmental impact.
