UAE HVAC market sees demand for hook-up fan-coil units

Dubai, UAE, 23 December 2018: Over the last couple of years, there has been a lot of interest generated around hook-up fan-coil units (FCUs) in the UAE market, said Abraham Jacob, General Manager, VIR ME International. Normally, he said, the user needs a lot of piping and also needs to tread the pipes, unlike with the hook-up FCUs. “Typically, the product does well on energy-efficiency, which explains the market demand for it,” he added. Elaborating on the impact of the economic situation on the UAE market, Jacob said, “The economy has not been going up for the past few years, but we feel that the year 2019 will be better, as a lot of projects are still in the design stage.”
