The information below was emailed to owners to provide the details of the Chiller project.
Dear Owners,
We want to provide additional clarification regarding the chiller replacement project and the current air conditioning situation within the community.
The chiller replacement project is not a simple “machine swap” as some may believe. This is a large-scale mechanical infrastructure project involving major engineering, manufacturing, system integration, and long-term replacement of aging central plant equipment. The overall project is expected to continue through the remainder of this year and into March of next year.
The emergency assessment was due on April 30, 2026. Once the assessment funding was received, the Association was able to formally proceed with contracts, engineering work, deposits, equipment procurement, and manufacturing timelines required for the project.
At this time, the project is well underway. Engineering and design work has begun, parts and components have been ordered, and materials are already being delivered to the manufacturer for fabrication and preparation.
The current challenge is not the new chillers themselves. The primary issue is operating and maintaining the existing aging system through the current cooling season while the replacement project progresses.
The existing chillers are older proprietary systems with obsolete components that are no longer manufactured. In many cases, replacement parts must be specially sourced, adapted, or rebuilt in order to keep the equipment operational. Additionally, there is only one authorized company in Utah certified to work on this specific equipment and proprietary control system.
The Association and its mechanical partners are actively working through startup procedures, system evaluations, replacement of critical aging components, operational testing, and stabilization efforts to keep the current system functioning as reliably as possible during this transition period.
We understand the frustration surrounding air conditioning interruptions and delays. However, this project involves complex central mechanical infrastructure that requires careful coordination, specialized expertise, manufacturing timelines, and phased implementation to properly protect the long-term interests of the Association.
We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding as this critical infrastructure project moves forward.
Chiller Replacement Project
The Association understands that owners may have questions regarding the chiller replacement project and the current cooling season.
The approved chiller replacement project is moving forward and includes significant engineering, equipment procurement, system modifications, and installation work. The new system is expected to be installed later this year, with some project components potentially extending into early next year.
At the present time, the primary focus is maintaining and operating the existing chiller system for one final cooling season while the replacement project progresses. As with any aging mechanical system, additional maintenance, repairs, and specialized technical support may be required to keep the current equipment operational until the new system is placed into service.
We appreciate the community's patience and support as this important infrastructure project moves forward.
Below is additional information that provides answers to questions you may have regarding this important project.
Question- Will we have A/C this summer?
Answer-Yes, the plan is to have AC this summer through our current older chiller system
Question-When will we be getting A/C?
Answer- We are working diligently to provide A/C as soon as possible. (we will send out an estimated date as soon as we have that information)
