Restoring fan coil units in a 34-year-old condo complex

An aging building with poor air quality, rusting components and failing coils. Energy bills were rising and so was the risk of flooding.

The situation

Units at the end of their life

The condo management asked us to restore the system: improve efficiency, reduce costs and make the building safe and reliable again.

Challenges

What we found

Deteriorated insulation and mold

Insulation inside the units had broken down, leading to mold growth and a health risk for residents. Loose particles were clogging the drains, raising the chance of floods.

Rusted drip pans

Rust had cracked the drip pans and was sending debris into the drain system. Left alone, this leads to severe clogs and water damage.

Inefficient coils

The coils had reached the end of their life: weaker heating and cooling, and higher energy use.

Solution

What we did

Full system evaluation

Every unit inspected for insulation, rust and coil performance.

Work area preparation

Walls, floors and common areas protected before any work began.

Safe removal of the old units

Rust and mold contained and disposed of without spreading to other areas.

New high-efficiency fan coil units

Installed with proper insulation, water connections, piping and electrical work, following the manufacturer's guidelines.

Quality assurance and testing

Each unit tested and checked against condo-specific standards.

Resident walkthrough

Residents shown how to operate their new unit and get the most from it.

Post-installation support

Follow-up visits to answer questions and confirm everything keeps running properly.
