 Elected Officers: Vice Pres: John Sima,  President: Guy Wanegar,

Secretary: Jane Bugbee, Treasurer: Scott Beaulieu

January, 2012:

All officers were reinstated for another year term,

with grateful appreciation from the membership.

Members at the January 10, 2011 meeting, where the Constitution was  unanimously adopted, four officers were elected, and five Committee Chairmen were appointed. Everyone present signed a petition to form the Chapter.

This picture above shows a typical two story home system under construction, with a 3 ton package heat pump on the right, and a 3 ton split unit on the left.

The package unit includes the air handler and coil that force conditioned air to the first floor through ducts in the basement. 

To the left is the upstairs geothermal heat pump. It is a split unit, connected by a copper line that runs through the walls holding the R410A refrigerant  to circulate to a coil and air handler in the attic, which feeds ducts there to heat or  cool the second floor.

In between, mounted on the plywood wall, are the flow center pumps connecting the outside buried loop fluid to the heat pumps.
