Preparing your fan coil for Ontario weather

Everyone hates whiplash: a 20-degree change in temperature overnight that leaves you sweltering or freezing when the morning comes can ruin a day. As weather patterns become more volatile due to the increasing impact of climate change, your home needs to become more resilient to these shifts. A huge part of this will be your condo’s fan coil unit, which will need to work harder than ever to keep you toasty, or cool at a Goldilocks room temperature of just right.  

Scientific consensus shows that our 7-day forecasts won’t just be sweltering, but freezing as well. For condos, a sturdy fan coil is the best way to insulate you from both hot and cold snaps of the weather in a climate such as the GTA. An updated fan coil simplifies climate control in your home, making relaxing after a long day a breeze. Modern thermostats also have scheduling features that reduce energy usage when you are not home.   

At JPS we make sure that your fan coil unit is ready with a comprehensive inspection and replacement of worn or failed components, ensuring that you can rely on your fan coil. We can also help by installing digital, or wifi-enabled thermostats. This empowers homeowners and tenants alike to have full control over when the heat kicks in or the cooling kicks off.  Our service department is here to help you weather both 30 degrees and -30 degrees.  

JPS is on a mission to modernize fan coils to face what can often feel like barbaric weather patterns. The fan coil units of the 80s and 90s were installed when temperature above 30 degrees in May was rare instead of a norm, and need to be retrofitted to be ready for today. The retrofit process is a same-day operation that will give your fan coil, and your ability to stay cool, a new lease on life.  

Climate change may not become an apocalypse, but it is something that we have to learn to live with. Your fan coil can at least make you more comfortable with it.
