Do they really enforce the September (heating)/May (A/C) deadlines or is it "just" a guideline for landlords and condo corps?
There are heat pumps in both the south and north tower suites so if your not getting cooling there's something wrong with the unit(s).
if your not getting cooling there's something wrong with the unit(s).
....or the building isn't supplying chilled coolant to the heat pumps yet.
Thanks for the clarification on that Tuscani01, I thought a heat pump was a heat pump!
It's all somewhat misleading when suites are advertised with "Individual climate control of centralized heating and air-conditioning in each suite provides for residents' personal comfort year-round" (that's a quote from The Residences of College Park phase 1 & 2), especially with so many buildings going with floor to ceiling windows. Those facing south and/or east/west in the spring and fall when the A/C is off can't be happy campers - or worse, a den or sunroom in between a bedroom or living room that makes it even harder to circulate air without being able to control the temperature in the unit year 'round.
Definitely is misleading, and its something that almost nobody looks into when buying a unit. (I know I didn't, and many people here in CityPlace complain about it too) Luckily though, property management is pretty good here at Luna and has been turning the heat on at the perfect time, and the AC on at just the right time. (AC just came on today!)
Luckily the NDP have introduced a new bill with more protection for condo buyers that will ensure that developers provide exactly what they tell you that you will be getting. Hopefully the bill passes this time. (Its the 4th time it has been introduce, it made it past second reading yesterday!)
