“03 - Bringing the High Heat”
View this set @ www.flickr.com
Things were cold in the church... Really cold. We had no heaters running since October, and by early December it was freezing at night and just above freezing during the day. We also had no insulation on the walls, and nothing covering the brick. In short, the building got cold and stayed cold. Our solution was to add a pair of ceiling mounted radiant tube heaters which fire into the sanctuary and theoretically warm things up. Our first intallation experience wasn't great, and this was by a company that was supposed to be doing the rest of our HVAC work. This poor experience wasn't isolated, unfortuantely.
