Fan coil maintenance is normally coordinated and scheduled by the property management as a complimentary annual service. This service is recommended to be done sometimes in May prior to air conditioning months and in September prior to heating months. We still recommend air filters to be replaced every three months. 

Many Toronto & GTA condominiums and apartments use fan coil systems to heat and cool the suites and common areas in the buildings.

Contact us today to schedule an appointment. We have a designated service team for annual fan coil maintenance. Our services are usually used by property managers and condo boards in Toronto & GTA. 

See this video for an overview.

There are two types of coil fan units in Toronto: 1. Two-pipe Fan Coil 2. Four-pipe Fan Coil

1. Two-pipe fan coil units have 1 supply and 1 return pipe. The building management typically decides when supply either cold or hot water depending on the time of the unit. This type of fan coil system is more common in the condominium building in Toronto & GTA Area.

2. Four-pipe fan coil units have 2 supply pipes and 2 return pipes. This allows users to have both heating and cooling at any given time all year round.

If you’re unsure which kind of fan coil unit is best for you, contact us today to get a free consultation. We do annual maintenance & repair services for both horizontal & vertical fan coil systems. 

Condo fan coil units utilize hot water in winter and cold water in summer to heat and air conditioning your space. In the building mechanical room, the boiler or the chiller work as a central HVAC system to supply hot and cold water through the building’s closed-loop system.

A fan coil blower fan is responsible to push the air across the coil until the ambient air temperature reaches the desired set temperature on the thermostat.

Fan coil actuator is responsible to control the valve in order to open and close when the thermostat is called for heating or cooling. In another word, the actuator allows hot or cold water into the coil when you set your thermostat either for heating or cooling.

Fan coil actuators’ failure is the most common problem when you are in no heat or no cool situations.

Actuators come in a variety of types and models depending on their specifications. Fan coil actuator replacement costs can range from $300 to $500 plus HST including parts and labour. Honeywell VC4011-11& VC4011-12 is the most commonly used actuators in Toronto building fan coil systems.

Installation of fan coil units started in 1970. This means fan coil systems have been around for more than half a century in Toronto high rise apartments. According to fan coil manufacturer engineering specifications, fan coil units have a lifespan of 20 years. Dirt, dust, and other airborne small particles inside your condo suite can build up in your HVAC systems and negatively spread in the air when the unit is operating. Most importantly, mold can easily build up and grow inside your fan coil cabinet which endangers the health of residents due to the toxicity of airborne particles.

Fan coil retrofitting is the best solution by far when it comes to improving indoor air quality in older condo high-rise buildings. To sum up, fan coil retrofit benefits  are as follows:

• New fan coil systems use ECM motor and they are much more efficient systems compare to older models
• New fan coil units are equipped with sensors to prevent flood in the condominium units
• Mold reduction benefits by replacing the old insulation inside the cabinet as well as using anti-microbial material 
• New fan coils are typically quieter compared to older models
• In addition to all the above, condo owners will also benefit from property value increase

Fan Coil units are equipped with a supply & return shut off valves. If the existing isolation valves are not operational then we have to arrange with the building management to shut down the water using the main riser shut off valve in the common element area.

Fan coil systems are great options for condo developers because they are less expensive than heat pumps or gas operating systems. Most importantly, easier to maintain and service. While fan coils are a great choice, heat pumps are still more efficient solutions when it comes to energy savings. For both options, individual condo owners & property managers have a duty of care to ensure the safe and smooth operation of these units all seasons.
