    Common Strata/Condo Questions

    Do I need strata approval before installing a heat pump?

    In most strata properties, yes. Heat pumps typically require modifications to common property or limited common property, such as mounting an outdoor unit on a wall, balcony, or roof. Before installation, you should submit an application to your strata council outlining the proposed equipment, location, noise levels, and installation details. Always obtain written approval before proceeding with any work.

    Modern heat pumps are designed to operate quietly, often producing noise levels comparable to a conversation or a refrigerator. Professional installers can recommend units that meet strata noise requirements and position the outdoor unit to minimize sound impacts. Many strata councils request manufacturer noise specifications as part of the approval process.

    In most cases, the unit owner is responsible for the maintenance, repairs, and replacement of their heat pump, even if portions of the system are attached to common property. Strata councils may require owners to sign an indemnity agreement confirming responsibility for ongoing maintenance and any damage related to the installation.

    Yes. Heat pumps are highly energy-efficient and can provide both heating and cooling while using significantly less electricity than traditional electric baseboard heaters. Many homeowners experience lower energy bills and improved year-round comfort.

    Coastal came by to help us with cleaning up another contractor’s mess. We are so thankful they were able to not only complete a thorough inspection, but also were willing to come back and do the fixes. The team has been very friendly and accommodating. Thank you! ⭐️
