Our current task is to heat and cool this interior. I am considering several factors such as total price, reliability and longevity of the HVAC unit, energy use and its effect on utility bills, legality, visual aesthetic, and any other factors that you recommend I consider.

I will also be considering how the unit we install this summer will work into the second phase of the HVAC work, which will occur in the future, sometime between November 2025 and November 2026.

I’m open to both partial and complete temperature solutions in this summer of 2025. If the first unit we install in the summer of 2025 doesn’t completely optimize the temperature of the big warehouse room but makes it tolerable, and then the following unit we install in 2026 does completely solve this problem, I am open to such a choice. On the other hand, if the machine that we install in 2025 is able to completely optimize the temperature the big warehouse room, and the modifications that we install in 2026 distributes the heating and cooling to the new subdivided rooms, this might also be the right choice. I encourage you to convince me of which choice you think is better. You may also submit multiple quotes based on different plans.


What follows is the floor plan of the 2nd floor as it will exist at the end of 2026. You’ll notice that the space will be divided up into many smaller rooms which will all need to be heated and cooled.

Here are some points that have been raised by HVAC technicians so far. You may want to factor them into your plan:

  1. The position of the outdoor unit - Some technicians favor placing the outdoor unit or units on the roof. Other technicians say that this is not legal and that it would be better to attach the units to the side of the building on a wall rack. I am open to your insight on this issue

  2. The make of the unit - Previously, I was happy with the performance of a Luxaire 5-ton unit. Another technician suggest that a Cooper Hunter model is preferable. You are welcome to suggest any make that you think is the best choice. Please also feel free to submit two quotes, one with a higher priced model and one with a lower priced model.

  3. The strength of the unit - Technicians have suggested that the machinery required for this job may be somewhere between 5-ton to 15-ton.

  4. The design of the unit - Some technicians suggest an L-shaped tower, which is what I had installed in the past. Other technicians recommend a ceiling unit. Others suggest mini-splits. Others suggest ducts that expand from the corner units across the perimeter of the room. I’m open to your expertise.
