The heating season is upon us. The project has had a lot of issues this summer and especially this fall. The flood that resulted from the hurricane was devastating. We lost the furnace at Brookside Hardware. It was totally submerged and all the electrical and electronic controls were ruined. We had been looking forward to resolving an issue with this furnace and getting a full season of data from the site.

The replacement furnace for the Franklin site is now ordered. There were considerable delays as the unit we were interested in testing was delayed awaiting some outsourced components. We hope to have it up and running by early November.

 The other sites are set to fire or already running as dictated by the unusual fall weather.
