Installed new heat pumps in four living units to replace electrical resistance heat. Installed a new propane boiler to replace a failed heat pump serving the Gym building. Installed radiant heating systems in shops. Performed a retrofit of existing fixtures to compact fluorescent and electronic ballasts in the Gym.

Notable Facts

All work performed in occupied buildings.
Greatly improved comfort, indoor air quality, and energy savings.

“The savings are above the estimates, and we have much better control over the comfort in the buildings. My maintenance personnel can respond much more quickly and effectively to issues as they arise. I couldn’t be more pleased with the project.”
