The Heating Project at First United Methodist Church is really heating up! As you may have noticed, many of the internal blower units have been installed in the church, either in the ceiling, or along the walls. Piping within the ceilings and walls is moving forward as well.

The outside heat pump units have not been placed yet due to the cold weather. In a slight change of plans, we will now be looking to place the heat pump units in the back of the church in a trench. This plan was developed by both our contractor, Treffeisen, and our masonry contractor, Imhoff. This will allow us to hide the units below grade, providing additional protection from potential vandalism. We believe this will also meet the strict requirements of the City of Oneonta’s Historic Landmark commission.

As the weather improves, you should see some outdoor work being done. We are hoping the total project can be finished by the next heating season.
