Does a condo have an HVAC system?
I’m going to be renting a condo and my parents are asking me all sorts of questions. My dad wants to know what the HVAC system is like. I’ve never heard of this before, so I’m pretty confused. Does a condo have an HVAC system?

Good luck moving! Unless your condo is incredibly old, it should have an HVAC system.
HVAC stands for heating, ventilating, and air conditioning. Typically, every building is required to have a functioning HVAC system, to keep occupants comfortable and safe. HVAC systems also help fresh air circulate throughout a building.
Since you’re moving into a condo, it will have at least a heating system in place. If you live in a warm climate, you may only have air conditioning. That said, your dad may also want to know the kind of HVAC system your condo has.
In this case, you’ll likely need to reach out to your property manager or landlord. There are a few different types of HVAC systems, and there isn’t a standard one for every building. Common ones include:
- Mini-split
- Hybrid
- Split
- Forced air (from a furnace or boiler)
In most instances, if you go to the basement of your condo, it’ll either have ducts or be ductless. If it’s ductless, you likely have a unit inside your condo and then outside as well. If you see ducts, a furnace or boiler is likely in your basement as well.
If this is still too much information, don’t worry! Have your dad do a walk-through with you, and he can inspect the system himself.
Since you’ll be renting your condo, be sure you and your stuff are protected from any damage with a solid

policy. If you want to save money on home, renters, or car insurance, the
