Condo Mechanical Systems Explained: HVAC, Plumbing, Leaks & Costly Failures | #WeSpeakCondo

In this episode of #WeSpeakCondo, Nicholas speaks with Andy and Anthony Kastopoulos from DV Mechanical about the mechanical and plumbing systems that keep high-rise condo buildings operating.

They discuss boilers, chillers, cooling towers, make-up air units, fan coils, heat pumps, domestic hot water, risers, building automation systems, preventative maintenance, comprehensive contracts, and common mechanical room issues.

Andy and Anthony also explain why monthly inspections matter, how small maintenance problems become major failures, why plumbing leaks can create serious damage, and how condo boards and managers can better protect their building’s equipment.

A valuable episode for condo board members, property managers, condominium owners, engineers, contractors, and anyone responsible for maintaining high-rise residential buildings.
