When the maintenance and energy bills start to outweigh the cost of a new HVAC system, it's time for an update. Smith Air Conditioning in Ville Platte, La., equipped the town's Sacred Heart Catholic School with a new HVAC system, saving the school thousands of dollars.
"The school's 20-year-old HVAC system used water chillers for cooling and a boiler for heating, and it presented many climate and maintenance problems," said Ruse Smith, owner and operator of Smith Air Conditioning.
