    With an Integrated Combo System, the hot water temperature is approx. 130˚F (54˚C) which is 60˚F (15.5˚C) above the return air temperature. These units typically have a temperature rise of 35˚F (2˚C) to 40˚F (4˚C) and therefore would deliver air at the diffuser at approximately 105˚F (40.5˚C) to 1 10˚F (43˚C).
