— Group pricing Strata & multi-unit buildings · Lower Mainland

Condo heat pump
group pricing
for strata buildings.

Many Vancouver and Lower Mainland condo buildings have in-suite water source heat pumps that are now 10–20 years old. When owners replace units one at a time, the process is more expensive, less organized, and harder on the building.

West Coast Geothermal helps strata buildings coordinate multiple replacements together — so owners reduce costs, simplify scheduling, and work with one experienced water source heat pump specialist.

Typical per-unit cost reduction

01 —The cost of going it alone

Replacing one unit
at a time costs owners more.

When several units in the same building are aging, coordinating the work together almost always makes more sense than five separate, disconnected jobs.

01

Separate site visits

Every owner books their own trip charge, parking, and access — paid five times over.

02

Separate quotes & advice

Owners get different scopes and different recommendations for the same building system.

03

Higher mobilization cost

Crew setup, floor protection, and equipment haul-in are repeated for each one-off job.

04

Scattered scheduling

Property managers field the same questions again and again across unrelated installs.

05

Repeated disruption

Hallways, elevators, and parking get tied up many times over instead of once.

06

No shared leverage

One owner negotiating alone has none of the pricing power a coordinated group does.

If several units in your building are approaching the end of their service life, it usually makes sense to coordinate the work together.

02 —Who this page is for

Built for councils, managers
& proactive owners.

You don't need to be on the strata council to start. Anyone in the building who wants neighbours to save can kick this off.

Strata council members

For council members who want to help owners plan ahead — before multiple units fail during peak heating or cooling season.

Property managers

For managers who want fewer owner complaints, fewer vendor questions, and a more organized replacement process.

Building residents

For owners who know their unit is aging and want to see whether neighbours are interested in replacing together.

Buildings 10–20 yrs old

For buildings where multiple in-suite water source heat pumps may be approaching the end of their reliable service life.

03 —How building group pricing works

The more units that join,
the better the pricing.

Pricing scales with the number of interested units in one building. The tiers below show the structure — exact figures are confirmed in your written quote.

Interested units
Pricing level

Buildings with multiple aging units ready to coordinate a sequenced install.

* Final pricing depends on unit model, access, installation requirements, building rules, and site conditions. We confirm everything in a written, fixed-price quote before any work begins.

04 —Why replace together

It's not just the discount.
It's the coordination.

Group pricing saves money — but the operational advantages are what owners and managers remember long after the install.

Lower per-unit cost

Coordinating several replacements in one building reduces repeated mobilization and scheduling costs.

Better scheduling

Installs are planned in an organized sequence rather than reacting to emergency failures one unit at a time.

Less building disruption

Elevator bookings, hallway access, parking, and technician access are coordinated more efficiently.

Consistent recommendations

Owners get advice from one specialist familiar with the building's exact system — not five opinions.

Easier communication

Strata councils and managers have one point of contact instead of multiple disconnected conversations.

Plan before peak season

Owners avoid waiting until a unit fails during the hottest or coldest weeks of the year.

05 —  A simple process for your building

Five steps. Zero headache.

You don't run the project — we do. Your job is simply to tell us about the building and let interested neighbours raise their hand.

STEP 1

Tell us about
your building

Submit the form with your building name, strata plan if available, and the estimated number of interested owners.

STEP 2

We review the
building fit

We check whether the building likely uses compatible in-suite water source heat pumps and whether group pricing may apply.

STEP 3

We help you
share it

You receive simple communication materials to share with owners, council, or your property manager.

STEP 4

Owners register
interest

Interested owners express interest through a building-specific form — without committing immediately.

STEP 5

We coordinate
the rest

Once enough owners are interested, we coordinate quotes, site review, equipment, and scheduling.

06 —Organizer toolkit

We make it easy
to rally your building.

You don't need to write the emails, notices, or owner messaging from scratch. We provide a simple communication kit to help your building gauge interest.

Open access

Owner email template

A ready-to-send message for strata councils, property managers, or residents.

Open access

Lobby or elevator notice

A printable notice that explains the opportunity and points owners to the interest form.

Open access

FAQ sheet for owners

Plain-language answers on replacement, group pricing, scheduling, and next steps.

On request

Building QR interest form

A building-specific QR code owners can scan to register interest in seconds.

Open access

Photo checklist

How owners submit photos of the unit, model label, serial number, and access area.

On request

Council discussion notes

A short summary strata council can use when raising the opportunity at a meeting.

+ No gate on the basics. The owner email, lobby notice, FAQ, and photo checklist are available right away. The custom QR code, building flyer, and building-specific page are prepared once you start a building inquiry — so they're tailored to your building.

07 —Optional

A private interest page,
just for your building.

For buildings with enough interest, we can create a private building-specific page — one simple place for residents to learn about the opportunity, submit their information, and stay connected to the group pricing process.

It increases trust: owners feel the offer is tied directly to their property, not a generic promotion.

  • Building name & overview
  • Group pricing explanation
  • Resident interest form
  • Building-specific FAQ
  • QR code source tracking
  • Direct contact details

08 —Is your building a good fit?

A quick gut-check
before you reach out.

Group pricing isn't right for every situation. Here's how to tell whether it's worth starting a building inquiry.

✓

Likely a good fit

  • It's a condo or strata building
  • Units have in-suite heat pumps
  • Heat pumps are roughly 10–20 years old
  • Multiple owners have had repair issues
  • Owners are asking about replacement costs
  • The building has water source heat pumps
  • Several owners may want to replace around the same time
✕

Probably not the right program

  • Only one owner needs urgent emergency service
  • The building does not have in-suite heat pumps
  • It's a central building HVAC system only
  • The strata only wants base-building mechanical service

Need urgent help for a single unit? The Condo Heat Pump Health Check is the better starting point.

09 —  Strata-friendly coordination

Less admin for
councils & managers.

Property managers and council members don't want more work. We simplify owner communication, intake, access coordination, and scheduling — and there's never pressure for every owner to participate.

One project contactA single point of contact for the whole building.
Clear owner communicationNotices and messaging owners can actually understand.
Coordinated site visitsOne scheduled review instead of many scattered trips.
Building-specific intakeOwner interest captured per building, tied to your strata plan.

11 —Frequently asked

Group pricing,
answered.

If your question isn't here, call us. We're happy to talk through your building's specific situation before anyone commits to anything.

— 01What is condo heat pump group pricing?+

Group pricing allows multiple owners in the same building to coordinate their in-suite heat pump replacements together. When several units are replaced as part of the same project, some costs can often be reduced through better scheduling and fewer repeated site visits.

— 02How many owners do we need to qualify?+

Group pricing usually starts when at least 2–3 owners in the same building are interested. Larger groups of 5+ units may qualify for better pricing tiers.

— 03Does every owner in the building need to participate?+

No. Group pricing can work with a smaller group of interested owners. The whole building does not need to commit.

— 04Is this for strata councils or individual owners?+

Both. A strata council member, property manager, or individual owner can start the process — whoever wants to get the ball rolling for the building.

— 05What type of heat pumps does this apply to?+

This program is mainly for in-suite condo water source heat pumps, which are common in many Vancouver and Lower Mainland strata buildings.

— 06How do I know if my condo has a water source heat pump?+

Many condo water source heat pumps are located inside the suite, often behind an access panel, closet, or mechanical area. If you're not sure, we can help identify the system using photos or model information.

— 07Will this disrupt the whole building?+

The goal is the opposite. Coordinated replacements help reduce repeated disruptions by planning access, scheduling, and installation work more efficiently than five separate jobs would.

— 08Can owners still get individual quotes?+

Yes. Group pricing can be coordinated while still allowing owners to receive information specific to their unit.

— 09What if only one owner is ready right now?+

That owner can still request individual replacement help. If more owners become interested later, the building may be considered for group pricing.

— 10Can you provide materials to share with owners?+

Yes. We can provide simple owner notices, email copy, FAQ information, and QR-code interest forms to help gauge building interest.

— 11Do you work with property managers?+

Yes. We can coordinate with property managers where appropriate, especially around access, elevator use, and building communication.

— 12Are rebates available for condo water source heat pump replacement?+

Rebates for in-suite condo water source heat pump replacements are often limited or unavailable. We can help clarify what, if anything, applies to your specific situation.

— 13How do we get started?+

Submit the building eligibility form with your contact information, building name, and estimated number of interested units. We'll review the fit and explain the next step.
