Stratford City Council has unanimously approved the supply and installation of new HVAC units for the William Allman Memorial Arena.
The decision was made at Monday’s council meeting.
A report from Manager of Community Facilities Mark Hackett found that the current gas-fired units have reached the end of their service life and needed repairs over the past few years.
According to the report, these units will be replaced by heat-pump/hybrid heat ones to bring more energy efficiency and help the city reach their greenhouse gas emissions goals.
Councillor Jo-Dee Burbach said finding heat pumps for the units will help in moving towards a more eco-friendly option.
The installation will cost $186,000.
