Can someone explain the HVAC system in this condo? See pics. It is a 20 year old low rise building. There are vents throughout the unit which means it is forced air.
The Laars is a 2 in 1 boiler with a domestic water heater coil going thru the storage tank.
There’s a air handler somewhere else with a hydronic heating coil and evaporator coil for the condenser.
Are boilers common? Sorry I have no experience with boilers.
So does this boiler supply hot air like a furnace? [edit] According to google, boilers supply hot water to radiators... but there are no radiators. So does this mean the condo building supplies hot air? and the condo unit supplies hot water and AC?

Combi boilers are common, not nearly as much as a traditional gas furnace.
This type is not so common with a storage tank.
There’s a air handler aka fan coil aka “furnace” somewhere.
That moves the air over the heating and cooling coils.
Look for a big metal box with ductwork attached to it, copper pipes from the boiler, lineset from the a/c.
