Ducted Air Handler

High-efficiency whole-home air conditioning — hydronic, silent, intelligent

The Messana ducted air handler is a high-efficiency chilled water fan coil engineered for whole-home comfort. Available in four sizes from 1.5 to 5.0 tons, with a variable-speed ECM motor, fully insulated galvanized steel cabinet, and three-way airflow flexibility — designed to integrate seamlessly with any Messana hydronic system.

The ECM advantage

Variable speed. Constant comfort.

At the heart of the air handler is a variable-speed ECM motor — a technology that transforms how a ducted system feels, sounds, and consumes energy. It is the reason this unit earns its place in the Silent Air ecosystem.

Three airflow positions

The air handler is field-convertible between three airflow configurations — adapting to the mechanical room layout, duct routing, and available space without requiring a different unit.

 

Build quality

 

Engineered for the long term

 

Every component of the air handler is specified for durability, efficiency, and quiet operation — from the galvanized steel cabinet to the copper-aluminum coil and corrosion-resistant drain pan.

Why choose Air Handler for your project:

When attic or crawlspace access exists, a single ducted air handler is the most cost-effective way to condition an entire floor or the whole house — one unit, one hydronic connection, one central coil that cools, heats, and dehumidifies up to 5 tons across every room, at a lower installed cost than running individual fan coils in each space.

What is Radiant Cooling?

Radiant cooling is an energy-efficient cooling technology that, unlike traditional forced-air systems that cool the air, employs chilled radiant surfaces like ceilings or floors to directly absorb the heat radiated by objects and people within a space. Radiant cooling creates a comfortable, even distribution of coolness, without the need for visible and noisy equipment.

What is a Radiant Ceiling?

A radiant ceiling is a type of heating and cooling hydronic terminal that uses the large unobstructed surface area of the ceiling to transfer thermal energy to or from the objects in a room through thermal radiation. Radiant ceilings can be used as a standalone terminal or in conjunction with other heating and cooling systems to provide an energy-efficient and effective indoor climate solution.
