Comments on: $1.5 Million In HVAC Upgrades Planned For Northview High http://www.northescambia.com/2015/02/1-5-million-in-hvac-upgrades-planned-for-northview-high Local News for Molino, Bratt, McDavid, Century, Walnut Hill, Cantonment Sat, 11 Apr 2026 17:01:22 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Betty http://www.northescambia.com/2015/02/1-5-million-in-hvac-upgrades-planned-for-northview-high/comment-page-1#comment-292248 Betty Sat, 14 Feb 2015 01:59:07 +0000 http://www.northescambia.com/?p=206198#comment-292248 This problem has been on-going from day one. Some people had portable heaters under their desk from the time the school opened. They told us at the time that the temp was regulated from Pensacola. Some areas too hot---some too cold. I am sure that time has expired for any warranty of any kind to be in force. But--- it is a shame that the tax payers, once again, must bear the cost of shoddy workmanship.

Since when do builders offer 20 year warranties? >>> I think the original builder should be made to fix it, at no charge.

Since when do builders offer 20 year warranties?

Didnt the original work come with a warranty? If its been going on "for years" I think the original builder should be made to fix it, at no charge. The school isnt all that old.

Many times, some companies will undercut the competition just to get the work when their company is not capable or big enough to do a job like this one. You often get what you pay for. It's not often that you get a "deal" and expert, quality workmanship with the needed attention to detail.

It seems that something is not right with the process of inspection when schools are upgraded or newly built. This has been a problem for years. Not only is this a problem at NHS it is also a problem at Bratt. The renovated wing at Bratt Elementary has a similar problem since our last hurricane damage when the heating and cooling were replaced with a new system. The auditorium has a major heating and cooling problem since reconstruction was completed. It was a known problem before the final sign off of construction. When parents come for programs they are typically sweating or freezing. Sometimes it is almost unbearable when there is a large crowd. It is a shame that the initial construction company was not held accountable for this problem. Even more ,the local and district workers have worked on it many times, with only temporary success. There must be a better, more cost efficient, way to ensure that students, teachers and parents are comfortable when at school.

How about using the students at George Stone vocational school in the HVAC program to help like they did on career houses years ago. This would give well needed hands on experience as well as save tax payers dollars.
