C/CW Series

Hydronic Cabinet Unit Heater

Modine’s Hydronic Cabinet Unit Heaters offer exceptional, quiet heating efficiency, harnessing hot-water or steam systems within a sleek, architectural cabinet design tailored for commercial, institutional, and educational environments. This innovative series seamlessly combines a hydronic coil with a low-noise fan assembly, all housed within an attractive steel enclosure, making it perfect for areas where functionality and aesthetics are essential.

The C model provides an exposed, floor-mounted solution ideal for perimeter heating or open interior spaces. The CW model supports exposed wall mounting or partial/full recessed installation, enabling integration into wall cavities, alcoves, and architectural millwork. This flexibility makes the C/CW series an excellent option for both new construction and retrofit projects where uniform design continuity is essential.
