Village boardroom air‑handler fails; staff to solicit quotes and return recommendation
Summary
An air‑handler that serves the village boardroom failed due to a coil leak and obsolete R‑22 refrigerant; staff will obtain replacement quotes, explore temporary cooling, and present a recommendation at the next meeting.
Jason reported the village boardroom’s air‑handler has failed after an outdoor coil leak and loss of refrigerant; the unit uses R‑22 and is not repairable. Staff have one quote and expect a second; they warned of potential supply‑chain delays for replacement equipment and suggested short‑term measures (opening doors, using existing units or renting portable units) to control humidity and comfort.
Jason said the failed unit specifically serves the boardroom and nearby restrooms; other condenser units on the building are newer but the boardroom unit is at end of life. Trustees asked whether zones could be reconfigured to use existing condensers and requested that staff return with quotes and options that address both cost and scheduling risk. Trustees also asked staff to explore short‑term rental options to control humidity before a permanent unit can be installed.
