Change-Over Time!

It's September and the leaves are already beginning to change colour. That means it's change-over time! Here are a couple of quick tips for condos...


- Condominium Boards determine the changeover date for their facilities. This matter should be brought up at Board meetings in September.

- Change over times are the busiest times of the year for Contractors. Call ahead by at least two weeks to schedule your changeover.

- In some facilities, it may be possible to change over the corridor make up air units prior to converting the in suite fan coils to heating. This gives you the option of heating the Building should a cold spell occur prior to the change-over.

- You can speed up changeovers by shutting down Chillers prior to the arrival of your Contractor. Most Boilers should not be started if the water in the pipes is still very cold.

- Facilities with Energy Management Systems have further options including “Cooking-Time” Only Schedules, Duty Cycling, Outdoor Air Temperature Fan On/Off, and other advanced options.

- Reduce complaints and service calls by posting any changes that must be made to Thermostats on Bulletin Boards. Make it clear that there will be NO Suite Air Conditioning after your changeover date.
