What a fan coil quote should include
A fan coil quote for a whole floor is more than one line for the units. The client, the M&E consultant and the main contractor all want to see the models, quantities, controls, pumping and installation scope on the same page. Anything missing tends to come back later as a variation dispute on site.
- Units: model code, type (concealed ceiling, 2-pipe) and quantity
- Controls: one room thermostat per zone
- Hydronic side: circulator, valves and connection kits
- Services: installation, condensate connection, wiring, commissioning
- Terms: VAT, lead time, payment stages and validity
Select units from the room schedule
Start from the room schedule: room name, floor area, use (cellular office, meeting room, hotel bedroom) and the void above the suspended ceiling. Smaller rooms usually take the smaller casing, open-plan areas and meeting rooms the larger one. In the example below there are six Daikin FWE04FT and four FWE06FT units, each with its own Smallart room thermostat. Check every selection against the manufacturer data and your own design assumptions, and state those assumptions in a short note on the quote.
Be clear about ductwork and ceilings
With concealed ducted units, most of the difference between two quotes is scope. Are the ductwork, grilles, plenum boxes and ceiling access panels yours or the fit-out contractor's? Where does the condensate drain connect? Who provides the electrical supply and the thermostat cabling? Answering these questions under a clear Exclusions heading saves a lot of discussion later.
Do not forget the pump and the circuit
Fan coils are served by a chiller, heat pump or boiler circuit. If the floor needs its own circulator, show it as a separate line; the example uses a Wilo Yonos MAXO 30/0.5-10. Size the pump from the circuit flow rate and pressure drop. If the existing pipework and pump are reused, say so in the quote.
Build the quote and keep track of it
Every item in this example can be added from the catalogue in the free Tekliva online quote generator. You enter your own prices and download a PDF with your logo, without creating an account. Once the quote is sent, the Tekliva panel tells you when the client opens the link, sets follow-up reminders and lets you mark the job as hot, warm or cold. On commercial fan coil jobs the decision often passes between consultant, landlord and contractor, so steady follow-up matters as much as the quote itself.
FAQ
Should installation be priced separately on a fan coil quote?
Yes. Listing units per number and installation, connections and commissioning as separate lines makes the quote easier to compare and reduces scope disputes.
What VAT rate applies to a fan coil installation in the UK?
Commercial fan coil supply and installation is normally at the standard rate of 20%. State clearly whether your prices include or exclude VAT.
Does every fan coil need its own thermostat?
Usually each room or zone gets its own room thermostat. In open-plan areas several units can share one controller; note this on the quote.
Is ductwork included in a ducted fan coil quote?
It depends on the package. If ductwork, grilles and access panels are not yours, list them under Exclusions.
