# Mimico 180-Unit Lakefront Building-Wide Fan Coil Replacement

A documented project record from 

Condo HVAC Repair Toronto

. A lakefront Mimico building with fan coils well past 25 years had corroded drain pans, failing PSC motors and a reserve fund study that flagged HVAC as the next major capital item. The board approved a phased replacement that kept every resident in their suite.

## The Challenge

Lake-effect humidity had corroded galvanized pans and cabinet bases faster than inland buildings. Leak calls were up every year and two insurance claims in one season pushed the board to act.

The corporation needed the program to fit a reserve fund cash flow, so the work had to be billed by floor with a holdback until commissioning.

### Results

-   Building-wide replacement completed inside the 14-week window.
-   Progress billing by floor matched the reserve fund draw schedule.
-   Leak calls from the original fan coils dropped to zero after completion.
-   Commissioning logbook filed for the next reserve fund study update.

## How We Ran It

1.  1
    
    ### Spec and procurement
    
    Elena Vargas wrote a like-for-like dimensional spec so new cabinets fit the existing closets and riser connections, with ECM motors for quieter operation. Equipment lead time was 8 weeks.
    
2.  2
    
    ### Floor-by-floor schedule
    
    The board approved a 14-week rolling calendar posted in every elevator. Each suite was out of service for one working day at most.
    
3.  3
    
    ### Two crews, one sequence
    
    Crew A drained, removed and disposed of old units. Crew B set, piped, wired and started the new coil the same day. Floor protection and dust control were standard in every suite.
    
4.  4
    
    ### Commissioning logbook
    
    Each unit was started, checked for leaks and recorded with supply temperature and motor settings. The board received the logbook and warranty certificates at close-out.
