Fan coil smells musty
A dirty coil or standing water in the drain pan grows mold. Cleaning the coil and pan and treating the drain usually clears the smell.
Very dry air in winter
High-rise units heated for months can drop well below comfortable humidity. A portable or in-unit humidifier helps, within the building’s rules.
Before you replace anything
Before a High-Rise Repair in Lakeview East
Ask building management whether the riser water needs to be shut off and whether there are hours when work is allowed. Many buildings require a certificate of insurance from the technician’s company before work starts.
If your heat pump is the original unit and the building is decades old, ask about replacement options and whether the association has a standard model for replacements.
