Furnace & Water Heater
UPDATED (January 5, 2011) information available here.
We have a project for the remainder of this calendar year: we need to pull together $15,225 (including GST) for new furnaces plus $4919.25 (including GST) for a new water heater, to replace the furnaces and water heater in our lodge. The current units are aging and our objective is to replace them pro-actively, so we don't end up in a situation where we have to shut our doors for repairs while groups are supposed to be on site!
Can you help us raise the $20,144.25 required for the new furnaces and water heater, by December 15, 2010?
We've done our research and will be choose high efficiency units to replace the furnaces -- units that will not only pay for themselves in gas savings, but will be transplantable when we reach the point where we can replace our lodge*. As for the water heater, we will again be purchasing a high efficiency unit from the same line as is used in our outdoor bathrooms. Again, we anticipate that the replacement water heater will lead to savings in gas bills and we have confirmed it's a unit we will be able to move to a new home when we do reach the new lodge stage in our capital planning.
You can donate via cheque (Box 492 / Sundre, AB / T0M 1X0) or credit card (call our office at 403.638.4230). Please designate any donations as "capital". Any funds raised beyond what is required for the furnaces and water heater will go toward capital projects. Please see our "wishlist" for what those capital projects might include!
*Yup, that says "new lodge". But don't get too excited yet! We're several years off from a new lodge building, but are considering the move-ability of furnaces and water heaters because we want to be good stewards of your gifts and our resources both now and into the future! Plus, we need to finish the cabin project before we start working toward a new lodge.
