The 5 ton will supply 4 ductless units installed in 2 separate rooms and the 3 ton will supply 3 ductless units installed in 3 separate rooms.
  • 5 Thermostats will be provided to control each of the 5 rooms. The thermostats will be programable to provide both heat and cool options.
  • The system will have the option to connect with the existing Building Automated System to prevent existing heat/cooling conflict during operation.
  • 2 new branch circuits will be required/installed from the nearby electrical room that supplies power to the existing AC unit.
  • The Contractor must complete, in full, the “400 – Halocarbon Activities form – Ontario” (attached in Annex C) for each service and have it submitted to and signed off by the Project Authority, before they can leave the site once the work is complete.

  • If a refrigeration leak is found, the Contractor must immediately notify the Project Authority. The Contractor must complete a Release Report form (attached in Annex D) as well as the Activities Form for the repair (attached above).
