City Hall HVAC Installation Now Under Way

The installation of a new air-conditioning system at city hall is now under way and expected to be completed before this summer.

Lakebrink Heating and Air Conditioning, Union, is installing the new variable refrigerant flow system to replace the current boiler system.

The old boiler system was high maintenance, said Mayor Mike Livengood. There was a lot more failure and future expenses with plumbing.

The need for an upgrade was critical, he added.

The new system would provide heat in areas that are not temperature controlled now, including the auditorium and the city clerks office.

The city clerks office is heated with space heaters.

Livengood noted that an air-conditioned auditorium has been a need for several years.

Weve always wanted to get more versatility out of it, he said.

Livengood explained that once the auditorium is air conditioned people are more likely to rent the facility during the summer months.

Allen Eaker, co-owner of Lakebrink Heating and Air Conditioning, estimated that work is about 50 percent completed and should take another few weeks to finish the job.
