Replacement of Furnace and Windows College Park Church Spring-Summer 2011
2
The Background Church built over 50 years ago Pioneers sacrificed in giving large sums of money to build this church No renovation for decades Most of us have only enjoyed the sacrifice made by the pioneers It is time for us to do our part March 12, 2011College Park Church, Oshawa
3
The Furnace Problem Current furnace on the edge of total failure – Major leaks which cannot be repaired – Overfiring Overheating in some areas of the church because of non-functional valves 52% efficiency and single-thermostat control Unnecessarily high heating costs March 12, 2011College Park Church, Oshawa

The Windows Problem Wooden windows installed 50 years ago: – Warped frames => can no longer open/close – Rotten frames, locks coming off – Stripped/broken opening mechanisms – Cracks/gaps causing substantial heat loss – Glass panes falling off, held by screws, tape Many windows are beyond repair March 12, 2011College Park Church, Oshawa
8
The Windows Problem Many single-pane windows, meaning low energy rating (or high heat loss) High heating cost Windows in children Sabbath-school classes can no longer be opened No ventilation, a critical issue Repair cost approaches cost of new windows March 12, 2011College Park Church, Oshawa
9
The Urgency: CPC Shutdown If the furnace were to suddenly break down during winter months: – 8 to 10 weeks lead time to get new parts – 1 to 2 weeks to install new furnace Without heating, CPC would have to shut down for up to 3 months! – Similar situation at College Park Elementary School caused a shutdown of the school for a couple of days this winter March 12, 2011College Park Church, Oshawa
10
The Urgency: Heating Cost Very poor efficiency of current furnace Furnace heating the whole church even for a single room High heat losses Natural gas prices forecast to start rising again Thousands of dollars wasted every year! March 12, 2011College Park Church, Oshawa
11
The Plan – New Furnace 3 compact boilers instead of 1 large one – Redundancy if one breaks down – 2 boilers are sufficient to carry the whole church Very high efficiency (up to 98%) Modulation from 20% to 100% of full boiler power – Furnace only working as hard as needed Heat balancing across the building Peace of mind for many years Heating bill savings will pay for new furnace in 5 years March 12, 2011College Park Church, Oshawa
12
The Plan – New Windows March 12, 2011College Park Church, Oshawa 2 windows replaced in 2007 42 more windows to be replaced 3 broken sections in stained glass windows in foyer to be fixed Estimates received from 3 companies Detailed report generated by Ron Hall Maintenance Committee ready to proceed
13
The Need Furnace replacement cannot be delayed – New furnace system received and scheduled for installation as soon as temperature allows it Windows replacement planned for this summer Makes sense regardless of CPC future plans Complete project cost estimated at $150,000 March 12, 2011College Park Church, Oshawa
14
The Process $35,736.30 already donated Further donations and pledges collected starting today Charitable donation tax receipts issued Regular updates on fundraising progress March 12, 2011College Park Church, Oshawa
15
The Appeal March 12, 2011College Park Church, Oshawa Each one of us is blessed to have this church, and so each one of us has a role to play – Do not wait for somebody else to donate this time Maintaining the House of God in top shape is not only a responsibility, but also a privilege Consider using your income tax refund Donations/pledges should be over and above normal tithe and offerings
16
It is time for each one of us to do our part for CPC. Please contribute generously! Spring-Summer 2011
