Work on the 2 major HVAC units from the July 2025 electrical outage claim has been completed. After the insurance directed repairs, some additional damage was detected to the electrical overload control components. Parts were ordered and installed. The addition parts and labor invoice will be submitted to the insurance company for $4,662.65. The units have been running for approximately 3+ weeks with no other problems.
One of our boiler units had an electrical control/ communication module fail. Stark Tech service provided exceptional response time as we were experiencing a very extended period of extreme cold. We were able to temporarily disable the auto control system and run the back up boiler in manual to insure we had enough heat and hot water for a few weeks until the parts arrived. This company truly provides service with a smile, especially in extreme emergencies.
Presently, I am also working on a quote to upgrade the original Fire/Security panels, keypads and possibly the fire control devices (smoke/heat and carbon monoxide detectors) as they are outdated for both hardware and software components. Don Flinton and I are also collaborating as we may be able to integrate the security door control program into this total package upgrade. I greatly appreciate his expertise on the “virtual” component complexities in this digital world.
Otherwise, winter is still demanding allot of our attention for the facilities! Overall, we continue to strive and provide the best customer experience possible here at the library. Teamwork and good communication are the essential keys for providing this positive work environment.
