    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.

    We had a Coastal Heat Pump from Mou Air installed approximately one month ago and have been very happy with its performance. The team was professional and hard-working. All deadlines were met. Thank you.

    I just had a HVAC service call by a technician named Rylan. Great guy, very friendly, and good at his job. I'm a very happy camper. Also thanks to Brenna, in the main office, for kindly setting up today's appointment! Edit as of June 2024: I just had a senior technician by the name of TYLER come by today to correct a problem with some piping. A+ knowledge and service, Tyler! You corrected the problem beautifully and you are so knowledgeable and friendly. I'm so happy! Edit as of Summer 2026: I would also like to compliment technician DARREN for the beautiful job he did with my annual maintenance of my HVAC. A very friendly and professional person! I would also like to compliment electrician SEAN who came by to do a compliance check about something unexpected that happened. Friendly and patient with questions. Thanks!
