  1. Replacement of Furnace and WindowsCollege 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 College 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 College Park Church, Oshawa

  4. The Need: The Furnace College Park Church, Oshawa

  5. The Need: The Furnace College Park Church, Oshawa

  6. The Need: The Furnace College Park Church, Oshawa

  7. 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 College 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 College 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 College 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! College 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 College Park Church, Oshawa

  12. The Plan – New Windows • 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 College Park Church, Oshawa

  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 College 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 College Park Church, Oshawa

  15. The Appeal • 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 College Park Church, Oshawa

  16. It is time for each one of usto do our part for CPC.Please contribute generously! Spring-Summer 2011
