**Ensuring Peak Performance for Condo Heat Pumps During Winter**

Condo heat pumps, also known as water source heat pumps, face distinct challenges during the heating and cooling seasons. Proper understanding and proactive measures can help maintain their efficiency throughout the winter months.

**Top 5 Reasons Condo Heat Pumps May Fail in Winter**

1. **Low Water Temperature**

When the supply water temperature is too low, it can significantly impact the heat pump’s effectiveness in extracting heat. This issue often arises from inadequately heated building water supplies or problems with the boiler or heat exchangers. To resolve this, ensure that the water source maintains adequate temperature levels for the heat pump loop lines. The heat pump water circulation is usually managed by the building’s mechanical contractor. In case of issues, a certified HVAC service provider should issue a formal report to your property manager for proper escalation.
