The boxing gym is where people from the neighborhood got to train in boxing as well as get a chance to learn kickboxing and defense mechanisms.
When the pandemic hit, the boxing gym was closed for a while and when we opened the gym last week, the HVAC unit could not turn on.
Because it had been switched off for some time, We knew that it needed to be examined by a professional HVAC repairman. When the electric heat pump was examined, it was determined that the heat and AC products were all soaked in rust which caused small puddles of water near the heater. Since the unit had been switched off for a long time, the heat exchanger had frozen over and the moisture from the ice caused the rust. The heating dealer supplied authentic parts and a full HVAC tune-up was performed. We were boxers and thus did not know more about heating but we knew that the unit did not help with indoor comfort. The heat pump service also revealed that the furnace filter was all clogged up with dirt and air pollutants. This affected the functioning of the temperature control. A new boiler was installed at the gym instead of a hydronic heating system. The technicians recommended we consult different experts before we confirmed any boiler repairs. The gym was back in operation within a week and everyone commented about the improved comfort of the gym. There were also some rules on how to maintain the unit and ensure it served the gym for many years to come. We decided to sign a contract with this particular HVAC company as they had done a very good job repairing our unit.
