Technical name for this type of insulation is___?

I live in a condo. We have a unit that controls our heating/cooling called the "heating coil unit". Has a fibre glass filter that sits near the front and a larger thicker "pad" like unit the superintendent called "insulation". MUCH too vague clearly.

Claims if I bought a pad from a contractor it would run me $120 CDN. He has pads he'd sell me for $80.00 CDN.

I'm thinking...he must be trying to put one over on me and make some money. These "insulation pads" couldn't possibly cost more than $20 CDN. Can some one give me the technical name? Maybe even give me a link to a CDN online retailer like Home Depot, Lowe's...etc.??

Thanks in advance!!

 

Picture and dimensions of this so called pad? Make / Model number of the unit? Is it a PTAC?

 

Hey Tomf,

I can take a photo of this pad tomorrow when there's better light. But it is a 1cm thick grey pd about 1ft by 2 ft.

I just need the technical name of this pad so I can search for it on Home Depot's website.

As for the model # of the "fan coil unit"...I suppose I can look inside the unit and hope there's a label under the door (hoping it's not behind the unit. Do you own a shop? Why the details? Just to give me the "technical name" for this type of insulation? There's got to be a name for it. Not looking for the brand. Just the name...clearly it's not "dry wall insulation"...etc.

I'll try to take a photo of it tomorrow and post back if you really need a photo.

 

All most all models are different so make and model# help.

 

True. Will have the model# and a photo tomorrow. Thanks

 

This is beginning to sound like the filter for a Ductless/PTAC

 

If you wan to search out for it then try to do a guess work in google images and then identify it from its picture it is easier way or provide the picture in this forum so we can help you out.

 

We need to wait for a picture from the OP before responding further.

I wonder if the OP was talking about something like these?
I did not look for a price for them but the HVAC tech left the package (empty) behind when they serviced the mini-split units in the apartment complex where I live

Edit: I looked and I found a supplier of them
