Library heat pumps installed; electrical upgrade and LED bid expected

Reading Energy Board · April 16, 2026

Summary

Board member Brian Cali reported that heat pump installation at the Reading library began April 16 with contractor Brite Lite, including condensate routing, a condensate pump and a dehumidifier; an electrical service upgrade and an LED lighting bid are pending inspection.

Reading Energy Board members heard that heat pump installation at the Reading Library began the morning of April 16. Brian Cali told the board he was pleased with contractor Brite Lite and installer Rob for a "solution-oriented approach," and that condensate lines were routed to a condensate pump in the basement with a dehumidifier added to that system.

Cali said the three systems are controlled by remote thermostats and an app that allows scheduling for a building that is not occupied daily. He reported an electrical service upgrade will be installed outside the building, that wiring inspections are pending, and that — if wiring checks out — staff will issue a bid for LED lighting within the next couple of weeks.
