What Are Fan Coil Units In Condos?
Fan Coil Units are the most commonly used heating & air conditioning systems in condominiums. These HVAC systems are typically the owner’s responsibility in case of emergency repair or replacement.
How Does a Fan Coil Unit Work In Your Condo?
In condominiums, a fan coil unit (FCU) is a standard heating and cooling system that works by circulating hot or cold water through a heat exchanger, along with a fan and controls that regulate temperature and airflow. The FCU system operates by drawing air through the unit and transferring heat between the air and the water. This results in the air being heated or cooled, depending on the temperature of the water.
During the winter season, your building’s central heating system provides hot water from a central boiler located in the mechanical room. To warm up your condo, the Fan Coil utilizes the incoming hot water as a heating source. This is done by having the blower fan push the airflow across the coil, distributing warm air via the air vent registers in your suite.
When summer arrives, the building supplies chilled water through the central chiller and pump system. This chilled water travels through the coil inside the Fan Coil system while the blower fan blows the air across the coil, reducing the ambient temperature until the temperature on your thermostat is reached, satisfying your desired cooling needs.
During the transitioning periods between seasons, it’s possible that your building may not have entirely switched to heating or cooling, which could mean that you may experience a lack of heat or cool air in your condo. Some Fan Coil units are integrated with an auxiliary backup electric heater which can provide heating during the months when the building’s central heating system (boiler) is not turned on yet.

3 Most Common Condo Fan Coil Failures
Most Condo Fan Coil Systems use a simple design for maintenance and repair purposes. Actuator failure, blower fan noise and valve wear & tear are 3 common fan coil problems when we speak to our clients at Home Trade Standards.
Another common issue with Fan Coil systems is Fan Coil freezing. Read a recent story about Fan Coil Freezing & Flood Hazard In Toronto Condominiums.
Condo Fan Coil Maintenance
Condo Fan Coil Maintenance is highly recommended to be completed twice a year. Maintenance work is typically scheduled in transitioning seasons, such as April & May or September and October. Some Condominium managements have a regular Fan Coil Unit Maintenance Program every year before the winter and summer seasons. Typically, your condo property management company will send you a notice to ensure all the residents are notified before entering your suite. You should always pay attention to all the posted notices in your building to avoid missing scheduled fan coil maintenance services done by your building contractor.
You can always count on us if your building does not offer a regular maintenance program. At Home Trade Standards, we offer Fan Coil Maintenance Programs for condominium owners in Toronto & GTA.
Did You Miss Annual Condo HVAC Maintenance Due To COVID-19?
COVID-19 may have impacted the scheduling of your condo’s Annual HVAC Maintenance from 2020 to 2022 to prioritize the safety of residents and staff. If your building is not currently offering maintenance programs due to health and safety measures, it’s important to proactively schedule regular maintenance visits to prevent unexpected mechanical failures or expensive water damage.
Condo Fan Coil Maintenance Checklist
Here is the ten (10) essential maintenance checklist our team offers during the Annual Condo Fan Coil Maintenance Visits:
- Air Filter Replacement
- Disassemble Cover
- Vacuum The Entire System (Coil, Panel, Return Grill)
- Motor Bearing Inspection
- Mould Spray
- Water Temperature Test
- Test Fan Motor & Blower
- Test Thermostat Operation
- Test Actuator & Valve
- Remove HRV & Vacuum (if Any)
Who is Responsible For Fan Coil Maintenance In Your Condo?
Annual Fan Coil Maintenance is typically arranged and coordinated through a property management company in your condominium. Although the Condo Fan Coil system consists of a few basic components, annual fan coil maintenance is essential to prevent a sudden breakdown during the coldest or hottest days of the year. Condo Fan Coil units deteriorate over time.
Here are 6 Common Fan Coil Problems We Noticed During Annual Fan Coil Maintenance Check-ups:
- Clogged Coil Condition
- Fan Motor inefficiency & Balance Due to Wear & Tear
- Rust Inside The Fan Coil System Due To Improper Condensation
- Fan Coil Units Mould Growth
- Dirty & Clogged Filters
- Drain Condensation & Leak Test
Fan Coil Retrofit & Installation Services For Older Condominiums
At Home Trade Standards, we offer Fan Coil Retrofit & Installation Services. Fan Coil Units in the older buildings require part replacement over time due to rust, corrosion, and wear and tear. If your fan coil is over 20 years, you may no longer benefit from repair and part replacement because a complete replacement will be more cost-efficient compared to investing money on an outdated fan coil unit.
New Fan Coil Replacement Systems are designed to fit the same cabinet cavity without going through a major renovation inside your condo, such as cutting drywall walls.
If your building is older than 20 years, please contact us directly to schedule an appointment for onsite building analysis. We work closely with individual condo owners, board members, and property management to deliver the most reliable Condo HVAC & Fan Coil Retrofit Services in Toronto & GTA Area.
How Long Does a New Fan Coil Replacement & Retrofit Take?
Fan Coil Retrofit & Replacement takes around 8 hours. Read more about what to expect before & after fan coil retrofit & replacement project.
What is a Magic-Pak Heating and Cooling System?
Magic-Pak is a self-contained heating and cooling system. It is an ideal solution for multi-family and mixed-use designs. These Units come in gas and electric models.
How Does a Magic Pack System work In a Condo?
A Magic Pak Unit runs on a ducted outlet from the unit itself, but the big advantage of this unit is that you do not have to run any ductwork outside the house or your condominium.
In addition, no external refrigerant lines & no outside condensing unit are required. These units are individually controlled and operated. Gas Magic Pak Systems are common units in older Toronto & North York Condominiums.

Condo Water Source Heat Pump
Condo Water Source Heat Pump is one of the common HVAC systems in Toronto residential condominiums and high-rise buildings. These HVAC units use water as a medium to transfer heat from one medium to another. Water Source Heat Pumps absorb heat from water to the refrigerant when heating mode and dissipate heat from refrigerant to water when cooling is needed. They are among the most common Heating & Air Conditioning Systems in High Rise Condominiums. Condo Vertical Stack Heat Pumps consist of mechanical & electrical components. Here is what they consist of:
1. Electrical Circuit Board
Circuit Board communicates between the thermostat, blower fan assembly, and chassis when the user calls for cooling or heating.
2. Blower Fan Assembly
Blower Motor is a separate compartment sitting on the top of the chassis drawing the air across the coil and streaming it back to your condo space through one or multiple vents.
3. Heat Pump Chassis:
The heat Pump Chassis consists of the compressor, coaxial condenser, metering device, reversing valve, evaporative coil and electrical components. The chassis is the most expensive part of the condo heat pump.
4. Thermostat:
The thermostat controls heating and cooling settings. Your thermostat senses the ambient temperature. It performs based on the temperature reading within the space or room where it is installed. You can use basic or smart thermostats with Condo Heat Pump systems.
How Does a Heat Pump Work In Condos?
Condo Heat Pump Systems are independent systems installed in each apartment. These systems utilize R-22 or R-410 refrigerant to generate heat or cool within your space through refrigeration. Condo Heat Pumps are also known as Water Source Heat Pumps because they use water to extract or discharge the heat from or to the building water loop that circulates in a closed-loop system and branches off on every floor. The closed water loop system is a heat exchanger to cool down the compressor during summertime. In winter, the water loop prevents the heat pump system from freezing during the refrigeration cycle. Unlike the air-source heat pump, water source heat pump systems do not require an outdoor condenser. High Rise Condominiums with in-suite heat pump heating and air conditioning units should always maintain the temperature of the water supply lines between 65 F to 85 F to ensure proper functionality. When the water temperature falls below this level, the unit automatically shuts off intermittently until the temperature is back to the standard range. If your heat pump is blinking red light and requires frequent resets, please read our article about Heat Pump Flashing LPS Red Light. What Does It Mean?
Condo Heat Pump Systems come in two types of orientation: 1. Vertical Stack Heat Pump 2. Horizontal Ceiling Mount Heat Pump.

What Is The Difference Between Non-inverter & Inverter PTAC Units?
Non-inverter PTAC runs the compressor at full RPM capacity. Compressor cycles at full capacity when it comes to ON & OFF. Hence, it wastes substantial amounts of electric power and hence, consumes more energy.
Inverter PTAC reduces the compressor RPM cycle to increase the heating and cooling efficiency rating required for power consumption.
PTAC Warranty:
At Home Trade Standards, we provide at least 1 year part labour warranty on all PTAC installations. In addition, Most PTAC Units come with a 6-year compressor warranty and 1 year limited part.
5 PTAC Unit Maintenance & Troubleshooting Tips
If you are experiencing problems with your PTAC units, please consider checking the following to ensure the longevity of your unit:
- Check your circuit breaker to ensure the power is still ON
- Plug out and Plug the unit back in again
- Change the filters regularly.
- Ensure the return air grille is not blocked
- Make sure the coil is clean otherwise, the unit will consume more energy, and debris block the airflow.

Pro Tip: One of the common mistakes in condos is blocking the grill door where your HVAC system is located. Remember, your HVAC system does not use the air from outside; the air comes from inside to cool or heat your place. So it’s a good idea to open your windows regularly and avoid blocking the grill door with your furniture.
