Condominiums with in-suite heat pump heating and air conditioning systems utilize building water supply as a medium to keep the compressor protected from freezing or burning out during the winter and summer season. Hence, they are also known as “Water Source Heat Pump”.
Water Source Heat pump manufacturers come in different dimensions, designs, and specifications. Hence, we recommend hiring an expert to troubleshoot and inspect your unit prior to making any repair or replacement decision. Daikin, Climatemaster & Carrier are the most common water source heat pump systems in Toronto.

Besides upgraded design & higher efficiency, the main difference between older and newer water source heat pumps is the refrigerant used in these systems. The older Heat Pumps use R22 whereas the newer units use R410A refrigerants. Learn More about Condo Heat Pumps With R22 Refrigerants.
Condo Heat Pump Systems require annual maintenance to ensure proper & safe operation throughout each season. Regular Maintenance will prevent unwanted issues from happening. Due to Covid-19, some building property managements have decided to cancel or postpone their regular annual maintenance services to follow government health & safety policies. If you are dealing with no heating, no air conditioning, Water leaks or Condo HVAC Excessive Noise, your heat pump may be due for service.

Condo Heat Pumps may need emergency repair from time to time depending on your usage, lack of annual maintenance or wear & tear. Our experienced Condo HVAC technicians are trained to troubleshoot all makes and models of Condo Heat Pump Systems in High Rise Condo Units. Your in-Suite Heat Pump Unit consists of Four (4) important compartments: 1. Chassis (Mechanical) 2. Control Board (Eletrical) 3. Thermostat (Control) 4. Blower Fan Assembly (Air Flow). Therefore, when troubleshooting a heat pump system, our goal is to determine which of one or more of these (4) four parts require repair or replacement to get your heat or cool back to normal. The diagram above will illustrate all these components in detail.
Please also note that many heat pump systems can break down due to central building problems. Our Technicians will report back to the property manager if the problem is not relevant to your in-suite heat pump system.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) About Heat Pump System In Toronto Condos
When Is The Right Time To Replace Your Condo Heat pump?
Lack of in-suite maintenance in condominiums and central mechanical systems in high rise condos are number the major reason for sudden heat pump failure in condos. Condo Heat Pump compressors are the most important component of the system. Due to the high costs of compressor repair & replacement, we advise our clients to replace their entire unit when their system fails to operate due to compressor malfunction.
What Are the Most Common Heat Pump Problems in Condos?
In our experience with heat pumps in the Toronto & GTA area, the 5 most common heat pump problems are:
No Heat or Air Conditioning. Heat Pump Does not Turn on.Â
Heat Pump Shuts ON & OFF Continuously.Â
Thermostat Malfunction. No Call For Heat or Cool. The Thermostat Screen is OFF.Â
Sudden Rattling Noise. Heat Pump constant loud noise in the condo.Â
Insufficient Heating & Cooling. Not Proper Air Flow In Your Suite.Â
If you are experiencing any of these issues, Contact Us Today.
What Makes Condo Heat Pumps Different From Fan Coil Systems?
What makes Water Source Heat Pumps unique from fan coil units is the reversibility to switch from heat or cool at any anytime during the winter and summer seasons. Heat pump technology uses a component called the reversing valve to trigger the compressor to provide both heating and air conditioning at any given moment. Therefore, in the intermediate seasons like April and September, condo residents do not have to wait for management to switch from heating or cooling or vice versa because heat pumps can operate in both heating and air conditioning mode.Â
Does Home Trade Standards Offer Condo Heat Pump Repair or Annual Maintenance?
Yes, Home Trade Standards offers Water Source Heat Pump Repair & Maintenance In Condos. We specialize in professional In-Suite Building HVAC Services in Toronto & GTA Area. Some Condominium managements have a fixed Annual Heat Pump Maintenance Program with a Building HVAC contractor. Due to Covid, some property managements stopped providing annual maintenance services in 2020 and 2021. Therefore, we experienced a lot of service calls due to a lack of maintenance.
At Home Trade Standards, we offer Annual Condo Heating and Air Conditioning Repair & Maintenance services for individual condo owners. You can contact us directly to service your suite HVAC system.Â

What Toronto Condo Heat Pump Services Are You Certified to Do?
Our Heat Pump Service Experts are Insured & Certified to do the following Heat Pump Services for Toronto high rise buildings:
Condo Heat Pump Systems utilize R-22 or R-410 Refrigerants to provide heating and air conditioning through a refrigeration cycle. They are also known as Water Source Heat Pumps because they utilize water to extract or discharge the heat from or to the building water loop that is circulating in a closed-loop system from the building mechanical room to every floor and suite. The closed water loop system works as a medium to cool down the compressor during summertime. In winter, the water loop is responsible to prevent the heat pump compressor from freezing during the refrigeration cycle. High Rise Condominiums with in-suite heat pump heating and air conditioning units should always maintain the temperature of the water supply lines between 60 F to 90 F to ensure proper functionality. When the water temperature falls below this level, the unit automatically shuts off until the temperature is back to the standard range again.
What makes Water Source Heat Pumps unique from other types of heat pump and air conditioning units is the reversibility to switch from heat or cool at any anytime during the cycle of operation. In these types of heat pump systems, the reversing valve triggers the compressor to discharge the refrigerant to the water heat exchanger for cooling and the refrigerant to air heat exchanger for heating.
Notes: The water requirement temperature in the building closed-loop system must be 60 F to 90 F for proper water source heat pump operation. Building with heat pump HVAC systems uses a central boiler and chiller to supply control water temperature through buildings a closed-loop system. This allows high rise buildings to save on energy in the intermediate seasons by creating an equilibrium between a resident who uses heating and the residents who use coolings in order to maintain the temperature requirement with the building water closed-loop system.
