Installation of new heating, cooling systems underway at courthouse … – York News-Times

YORK The installation of new heating and cooling units is underway at the York County Courthouse . . . which explains the massive crane that arrived Tuesday and remains there Wednesday.

The crane is used to lift the units to the roof of the courthouse . . . and bring down the old units.

The old units are originals to the courthouse. They were installed when the courthouse was built . . . so they have obvious age.

The cooling unit completely went out last fall and arrangements were planned for this spring installation before the temperatures get too warm.

When a heating unit showed signs of dying this winter . . and the need for its replacement became obvious . . . it was decided that a new unit would be installed at the same time as the cooling unit. This would allow the county to save money because the use of the crane would only have to happen once and the accompanying work crews would already be here.

Barricades were placed around the crane area, temporarily eliminating parking directly in front of the courthouse. That, however, did not stop normal courthouse operations on Tuesday, as people were still able to access the public doors without issue.
