I cracked open my plenum today to install my heating coil and much to my chagrin there is no room for it under the A coil.
I have a Brunswick forced air Oil furnace and the A Coil only has about 2" above the peak of the 'A' so I can't raise it to install the water coil.
Is it a viable solution to install the water exchanger on the cold air return side?

That's what I had to do. I had the same issue.

mine is to.does a good job ^-^

Mine is in the return after the filter no problems.

Mine is also on the return side. Just make sure you put a filter before the coil and you won't have any issues.

Thank you very much to those who responded with the same issue I have. I ended up making a tight install with a new filter bracket above coil. I am very happy with the results and it was easier than lifting the house 5" to allow enough room to raise A coil.
A- Coil. Not a great pic, but inlet side is restricted and there is no room to raise it as I have a 1880 farmhouse with low basement.

Another, before filter install. (don't mind the dirty filters, they are gone now!)
