There are options available to strata corporations as they grant permission for heat pumps to enable sufficient power capacity.
Dear Tony: Our strata of 72 units just completed its electric planning report and we have an issue with available power. We are a low-rise building in Vancouver and since 2015 about a third of our owners were allowed to install heat pumps. We have also installed eight level 2 charging stations for electric vehicles.
There are options available to strata corporations as they grant permission for heat pumps, which have the greatest demand on power, to enable sufficient power capacity. A well-defined alteration agreement is essential to ensure the installation of a heat pump is offset by the removal of the equivalent electrical demand of electric heaters.
Strata Energy Advisor program is available to condo-style strata corporations as they evaluate their energy demands and future upgrades, particularly switching from natural gas to electricity. The impact of the owners is just as important to consider as the operating systems of the corporation.
