The school was undergoing some significant renovations last summer, all students were at home, so we saw it as the perfect opportunity, the upgrades included new furniture and a new basketball court for the top team.
Apart from structural repairs, we also needed to tackle the air conditioning, but last winter had been eventful with the central heating and cooling system shutting down many times. We had to phone the A/C service 3 times for emergency aircon repairs, costing a lot of money. After speaking to the board, we opted to upgrade the old cooling system with a boiler system. The only time the A/C was in use was during winter, and water was a better way of delivering thermal energy. The boiler unit business was helpful and answered all the questions we had about the system. We learned that many more significant institutions opted to install a boiler to save on power and reduce repair needs. The boiler furnace would need annual repair, but it was the right fit for the school. The boiler company gave us numerous options to choose from that had terrific features, and we got to learn more about boiler systems replacement costs. The air vents we had used with the aircon system would work to supply ample warmth to every room. The system kept heat near the floor, meaning there was little chance of kids and staff getting cold in winter. We had lots of water in the area, so there was little concern about this. The air conditioning replacement process went on well. We got a chance to test the furnace before the children returned from their holidays. A few troubles cropped up, including a faulty thermostat. The A/C corporation was more than willing to come and make repairs. We also signed a boiler system repair plan for annual servicing.
