Pinecrest Village Association
Q: What should I do if I’m having an issue with my heating system (boiler, furnace, heat pump, or other heating appliance)?
A:
If you experience an issue with your in-unit heating system, please contact a licensed HVAC contractor of your choosing for diagnosis and repair. Under the Pinecrest Village Association’s governing documents, the Association is generally not responsible for the maintenance, repair, or replacement of heating equipment that serves only an individual unit.
Q: How do I know whether my heating system is my responsibility or the Association’s responsibility?
A:
Responsibility depends on whether the equipment is considered:
- a Unit component
- a Common Element (serving multiple units).
These distinctions are defined in the Association’s Declaration and Bylaws, which control maintenance and repair obligations.
Q: Where can I find my Association’s Bylaws and governing documents?
A:
You can access the Association’s Bylaws, Declaration, and related documents through your Online Portal. These documents provide detailed guidance on what is considered a common element versus a limited common element and outline owner versus Association responsibilities.
Q: What should I do if I’m unsure after reviewing the documents?
A:
If you’re uncertain after reviewing the governing documents, you may contact our property manager team at associationservices@fullcirclevt.com for clarification. However, to avoid delays—especially during cold weather—it’s recommended that you proceed with contacting an HVAC professional if heat is impacted.
