This year during the Olympics our local gymnasium was able to bring home at least two gold medals.
- We were super excited as we had all worked very hard and we had prepared well for the Olympics.
We decided to do a celebration for the wins and to appreciate the hard work of the winners. Before the party was scheduled, we had run a tune-up on the ductless mini-split that had served the gymnasium for a couple of months after it replaced the hybrid heating. Since the dual fuel system was convenient and efficient, it cost too much for maintenance. It also needed constant heating and cooling service which would eventually add up to a high cost. Since maintenance was ongoing, I decided that the HVAC techs would install heated floors in the actual gym. The current unit promoted whole home heating as it ensured that each part of the gym had a moderate and perfect temperature. Each zone, even those with a gas fireplace, had a programmable thermostat that adjusted the temperatures. The fireplaces were first installed as aesthetic pieces but now they were doing a lot to help with indoor comfort. Since the gymnasium is huge, we had to hire an HVAC contractor to help with knowing the best place to locate the heating device. The builder recommended that the unit be placed in the basement at the center of the building. We would be in constant communication with the HVAC professionals especially during spring and fall seasons when a lot of maintenance and replacement was done. After ensuring that the temperatures were right, we did the celebration party and it was nothing short of fun. The winners were also awarded gifts.
