Fan Coil Units are standard HVAC systems in each condominium building in Toronto & GTA. They are connected to the building boiler & chiller systems. Central HVAC systems in your building heat or cool water & distribute the water through a vertical riser pipe network to individual fan coil units.
Fan Coils units can be designed with 2-pipe or 4-pipe configurations. However, 2-pipe systems can only provide heating or cooling, whereas 4-pipe fan coil units are equipped to provide both heating & cooling at any time of the year as long as central HVAC systems are activated. The majority of buildings in Toronto use 2-pipe fan coil units.
Fan Coil Replacement Toronto – Customer Review
★★★★★
Our former property manager recommended us with 2 HVAC companies but after seeing the high rating of Home Trade Standards on Google reviews and HomeStars, we decided to give HTS a call. Home Trade Standards was wonderful, and he was quick to answer our texts. The technician Mike did an amazing job installing 2 of our fan coil units. They were friendly, polite and knowledgeable. We are very pleased to receive excellent customer service from Home Trade Standards!!

Why Should I Replace My Fan Coil Unit?
Canadians spend 90% of their time indoors, especially during winter. Older fan coil units can negatively impact a healthy indoor air environment. Understanding the impacts of bad indoor air will allow condominium owners, managers, tenants & landlords to make the right decisions about older HVAC systems in your condo.
How Does Your Fan Coil Cause Serious Health & Safety Issues?
Older Fan Coils contain fibreglass insulation, and when they become wet or moist from condensation, they provide an ideal environment for mould & spores to grow & multiply. Mould growth inside the fan coil cabinet will release airborne particles into the suite. When inhaled, the particles can result in long-term health problems such as asthma, chronic sinusitis, coughing, and severe allergy.
Water Damage & Liability Results In Legal Costs
According to TD Insurance, more than 40% of Condo Insurance Claims have been due to Flooding In Condos in recent years. These issues can occur more often in order fan coil systems. Water damage in older condos can cause higher building insurance and liability risks for property managers and residents.
