Good Shepherd Carbon Neutral Initiative

Mission Green Project Update

GOOD NEWS!! 

The necessary electrical panels have arrived! Decorah Electric will move the old Alliant transformer late next week or early the following week. 


Vick’s Heating and Plumbing will most likely start the installation of the heat pumps in early November. Prior to that work all of the dropped ceiling tiles in the hallways and entry will need to be removed. This will occur so that all the old ductwork can be removed, and the new heat pump lines can be installed.  In our "perfect world" the installation of the heat pump HVAC system will be complete by Thanksgiving.  But, realistically, delays happen.  We'll do everything in our power to minimize the disruption.


It is also our goal to get the roof-mounted solar panels installed before winter. 

 

Cold weather will probably force part of the project to be put on hold and commence in the spring.  This would include the French Drain, courtyard/pergola/solar canopy. Waiting for Spring also allows Kinderhaus to access the exit in that area through the winter months.  


We should be heated by electricity and heat pumps this winter!!  

This is a great thing considering the current news that natural gas prices will spike again this winter!
