Kingston City Hall air conditioning under repair – The Daily Freeman

KINGSTON, N.Y. >> Repairs were being made last week to the air conditioning system at City Hall.

Megan Weiss-Rowe, the citys director of communications and community engagement, said Wednesday the repairs had begun and were expected to be completed soon. She said the work was being done by Eastern Cooling and Heating of Albany.

The estimated cost of the repair was $18,982, Weiss-Rowe said.

The Common Council in July unanimously voted to transfer $20,000 from a contingency fund to the City Clerks Office budget to pay for repair of the air conditioning system.

The system had stopped working June 12 and a contractor identified the problem as coming from a circuit breaker switch. A compressor assembly had also failed.

Some repairs were made to get the 17-year-old system working at partial capacity.

The initial estimate to repair the system was $17,000. The city did not need to seek bids for the repair because the expected cost was under $30,000.
