🛠️ The Challenge For Property Managers, Condo Corporations, Board Members, Homeowners, Tenants, Real Estate Agents & Potential Future Buyers

While many property managers employ strategies to mitigate the effects of aging fan coils, we cannot entirely dismiss the implications that outdated equipment can have on the entire building.

🏡 Effects on Temperature, Air Flow Distribution and Energy Consumption

Uneven temperature problems caused by older fan coils and thermostats result in increased energy expenses for both condo residents and property managers. The inefficiencies lead to uneven airflow distribution and inaccurate temperature readings, prompting residents to frequently turn on the units to reach their desired temperature. Older fan coils end up working harder to compensate for their lack of efficiency.

💸 Potential for Flooding & Increase Insurance Premiums

The potential for flooding is an additional concern, with rusted drain pans and faulty components posing the risk of water damage and associated costs. Water damages cause higher insurance premiums for the corporation and individual owners.

🔄 Plan For Future: Educate Residents

To overcome these challenges, we need continuous education and learning among property managers and condo board members. While various HVAC solutions are available in the market for aging fan coil units, most people won’t take action until something breaks. Interestingly, many residents believe it’s the corporation’s responsibility to replace, repair and maintain fan coils just because these systems are located away behind their walls. Therefore, ongoing education will empower residents and managers to act swiftly, preventing expensive and unnecessary repairs in the future.
