Inexpensive Mini Split A/C
by Michael Schwartz
I am a new homeowner at Harbour who recently installed a mini split air conditioner for $1200 in his two bedroom unit utilizing an inverted heat pump compressor. The compressor provides both cooling and heating. Typically an installation of this type has been running members from $8000 to $10,000. This article is about his installation.
Investigation
Huntington Beach is fortunate to enjoys a sea breeze most of the time of the year-keeping the temperatures modest. Air condition requirements is mostly not required except maybe two month a years. I concluded along with my installer Jonathan Robles that cooling only the living room would be cost effective for my life style. This is in comparison where most members install cooling living room and bedrooms which cost from $8000 or more.
Installation
With this criteria, the resulted cost for the inverted compressor heat pump system was around $1200 (as of the date of this article). The compressor was installed on his patio with single piping run outside with only one hole piercing the stucco. Installation was completed in one day with minimum construction noise.
Approvals Required
Installing a split air conditioning system requires HOA Architectural Approval and an inspection from the City of Huntington Beach. I submitted my application to the HOA Architectural Committee which was approved almost immediately. My installer Jonathan Robles (626-890-4576) obtain the appropriate permit from the City of Huntington Beach.
Results
The system takes up very little space on the unit’s patio with the modest piping is hardly noticeable. It is extremely quiet inside and outside to run. This system is not expandable. If you want a larger system in latter, you will need a larger mini compressor. By the way please use my name Michael Schwartz as reference if you decided to use Jonathan Robles.■
Note:
  1. A Mini Split air conditioners are more efficient than the commonly used HVAC Princess2015 systems. These units are less noisy than central air systems and can fit in with any decor. A Mini Split can also provide exceptional heating and cooling all year round and reduces energy consumption and lowers utility bills. 
  2. Mini Split systems use an inverter driven compressor that can adjust the speed in a variable capacity according to the needs of the cooling or heating of the space, which prevents unnecessary energy spikes and resulting in energy savings. 
  3. This member used Los Angeles Mini Split and his installer was Jonathan Robles 626-890-4576. Prices are posted on their website (https://laminisplits.com/). Jonathan Robles can [provide sizing and installation costs.
  4. Mini Split AC units run between $1200 to $3500 and your units are guaranteed.

Safety Committee FYI
Harbour Vista Tow Procedure
by Rick Manning
Each member has one assigned parking space which is number and is for their personal use. Sometime members might find that a person has parked in their space without permission. This space is yours and you can asked that the vehicle be towed and impounded. Before you do that, just to be polite, you should put a note on this persons car to make contact with this person. I might point out that it may not even be this persons fault, as many time real estate agencies may have given a new homeowner the wrong parking spot number.
Vehicle Owner Impound Costs
Towing a vehicle from your assigned space cost a homeowner nothing. As of this writing, it will cost the vehicle owner at the lease $363 to get his car out of impound.
How to Tow
You might think that just picking up the phone and calling your local tow service is all it takes to having a vehicle towed. That is not exactly so and here is how to get it done. To tow a vehicle, you need from the vehicle
  1. Description of the car; Make, Model and color
  2. License plate number (tag exportation date and year)
  3. VIN (Vehicle Identification Number)
PPI Number
Next call the Huntington Beach Police Department non-emergency number at 714-960-8843 and ask for Records. Tell them you wish to have a car towed from your assigned spot. They will ask you for all the information above, along with your name, phone number, reason for towing and any other information. You will need to give them an address of the nearest building for the Tow. They will then give you a PPI number for the vehicle.
Contact the Towing Company
Harbour Vista HOA uses is Best Towing Service at (714)847-0730. Once again, they will need your name, the PPI number, vehicle description and the pick-up/hook-up address (less the VIN). The person making the request for towing required to remain at the vehicle to be towed when the tow truck arrives. You will also be required to sign the form stating the reason for the tow. ■

Editor Notes:

  1. You can check assigned parking spaces at Harbour Vista News at:
  2. Harbour Vista HOA also tows cars from unassigned parking spaces that exceed the 72 hour limit.
  3. Harbour Vista HOA also tows cars from assigned and unassigned spaces when notice is given by a vendor or the HOA when the space or spaces are being used for construction and maintenance.

Candidate's Statement
Candidate Statement, Mike Peduzzi (write-in)
I have been on the Board of Directors several times since 2014 in different capacities. I’ve also volunteered for projects at Harbour Vista over the years and have enjoyed living here since October 2000.
Goals
One goal I have is to keep a healthy balance in the reserves. These are used to cover both emergencies and deferred maintenance, such as the woodwork going on now.
Project
There are also projects, such as repainting some of the steps and the idea for a community garden, that are appropriate for community volunteers.
Community
In the greater community, I have led the post-covid reestablishment of food distribution by Saint Vincent de Paul Charity at St. Mary’s by the Sea, and run fund raising events like Breakfasts and Fish Fries.■

Vinyl Retrofit Window/Doors Replacement
by Rick Manning
At the end of February 2024, a homeowner Rick Manning had the original single pane aluminum windows/doors replaced with retrofit vinyl windows/doors. The following is a description of this the installation and its approval process.
What are Retrofit Vinyl Windows/Sliding Doors?
Retrofit vinyl windows/doors are double paned, Argon gas filled and have a sun protective coating. All this prevents the window/doors from warming the interior on the condo in the summer or transferring cold in the winter.
Replaced All Glass Windows/Sliding Doors
For the homeowner’s three bedroom unit, he had all seven glass windows and three balcony sliding glass doors replaced.
Architectural Approval Required
Any replacement of the windows/doors on the Harbour Vista buildings requires approval by the HOA Architectural Committee. The requirement for the Committee approval is to verify that the windows/doors installation will matches the acceptable architecture of the building. Retrofit white vinyl windows and doors are acceptable at Harbour Vista. The Committee usually wants listed in the request, the (1) brand of the window/doors and (2) contractor performing the work.
Five Member Crew
For the day of the installation, a crew of 5 workers arrived shortly after 8 am and had all the windows and slider doors removed and gone in the first hour.
Prep Work
After removal of windows/doors, the prep work began removing the sills of all 3 sliders and any weather proofing made ready for new weather stripping to be laid in its place as the slider frames were replaced, the same thing happened with the window frames.
Trash Disposal
It should be noted that any demolition material of trash can not be placed in Harbour Vista storage bin. The contract removal ed all of demolition and trash material.
Completed in Six Hours
As one room was done with the removal and prep work, one crew member worked at replacing the windows, while a crew of three worked on the sliders. The entire work was completed in 6 hours.
Discounts
The Windows purchased happened to be on sale, which was approved by SCE and because of that, there was a California Electric Company energy savings discount as well as a Senior discount which helped bring down the cost. If you decide to upgrade your windows, be sure to ask for any discounts like AARP or other approved energy savings program that might be available.
Results
The owner states that the outside noise in his unit has been significantly reduce and that insulation has reduced the number of times his heater turns off and on with cold weather.
Company
The brands of the Retrofit vinyl windows/doors was Four Seasons. The company that procured the windows and installation company was Vinyl Window Brokers; 1381 Warner Avenue; Suite E; Tustin, California 9278; Tel: (714) 975-9020. ■

Editor Notes:

  1. Members may use any brands of retrofit vinyl windows/doors and any installer they may wish.
  2. Retrofit glass windows/doors utilize the existing frame of the original aluminum windows and its flash (water proofing seal). Therefore no Building permit is required to install retrofit windows/doors.
  3. According to the Architectural Guidelines, that noisy construction noise is only allowed Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm.

http://harbourvistanews.com/Rules_and_Regulations/RulesRegulation.html

Remodeling

The first thing that many new homeowners do is replace appliances, flooring and cabinets and even plumbing. Each Harbour Vista Condo shares common walls, floors and ceilings. Remodeling project may impact your neighbors or the outside of the building (screens, windows, doors) which pierces the firewalls. Simple installing new flooring or recess lights impacts sound proofing and firewall bariers with your neighbors. The inside of your unit’s walls may have plumbing and electrical that service other units. You should contact the property manager to obtain a copy of the latest Architectural Guidelines which is also posted at Harbour Vista News at:

http://harbourvistanews.com/Architectural/ArchitecturalGuidelines.html

Architectural Request

You may be required to submit an Architectural Request prior to starting a remodeling project. You may contact the HOA Architectural Committee to simply ask questions. Installing an air conditioning/heating system will require a building permit and approval of an HOA Architecture Request. The large attic space in the three bedroom is not constructed as a living space when the units were build. Only storage of light weight items is permitted.

Construction Noise

Construction noise for remodeling is only allowed between 7am to 5pm on the weekdays. If your remodeling project is going to make excessive noise, it is a good idea to inform your neighbors prior to the start of the work.

Trash Bins

Regular trash bin pickup is scheduled every week for Tuesday and Friday. Do not over stuff the trash bin particularly when moving in. Disposal of large items which including furniture that do not fit in the trash bin is allowed, but only the day before the HOA scheduled large item pick up. Large item pick dates are posted at the mail boxes bulletin boards.

Common Water System

Your condo shares a common water supply with all units with both hot and cold water paid for by the your HOA dues. Your condo does not have master water shutoff supply valves. Your sinks do have individual shutoff valves, but the shower/tubs do not unless they have been upgraded (a good suggestion). You should contact Progressive to schedule them to perform any full water turn off to your unit that may affect your neighbors.

Hydronic Heaters

Each condo has a forced air Hydronic hot water coil heater system install in the hallway ceiling. These systems may leak. The heaters have shutoff valves which are located behind the ceiling vent cover. Two ball valves (intake and outage) are behind a pulldown metal plate on the opposite side of the coil when the vent cover is removed (4 screws). Maintaining and repair of the hydronic heater is the homeowner’s responsibility.

Electrical/Cable TV Lines

Each unit when built has an inside 70 amp circuit panel. But sometimes the master breaker for a unit can be tripped. You cannot turn the power back on from your inside breakers. The master breaker is located in a locked cabinet in each building. If you accidentally have this breaker trip, contact the Progressive, a Board member or a building monitor. These cabinets also have the electrical boxes for land line phones, internet and TV. Though each vendor is supposed to have keys to these cabinet, some new vendors may not. Please have then contact Progressive for access.

Electronic Gate System

You can ask the Property Management Company to add your name to the Electronic Gate Kiosk at your assigned entrance gate with you phone number enabled. This phone number can be a cell phone. When a visitor or delivery person comes to the Kiosk, they can press a button by your name to call your number. You can then open the Gate from your phone.

Garage

The one electrical outlet in your garage is for small load intermittent devices (e.g. power drill). The power to each garage is on a common circuit and is paid for by the HOA. Powering heavy electrical equipment such as refrigerators or charging an electric vehicle is strictly prohibited unless approved by the Architectural Committee and with an additional assessment.

Homeowners' Insurance

A unit owner is required to carry Homeowners' insurance (CC&R's Section 9.03).

The HOA

As new Harbour Vista Condo owner, you are a member of the Harbour Vista Home Owners Association (e.g., HOA). The HOA Board is the caretaker of the property and consist of elected member just like you. The HOA meetings are open to all members to attend to voice their issues and to observe the proceedings of the representatives. Meeting notices are posted at each Mailbox Bulletin Board.
