Thinking of winter?
It’s going to be 98 degrees today here in the Northern Neck of Virginia. Most of the Christian Faithful are worried about their air-conditioners keeping them cool. However, here at the Priory, we are already praying about winter!
Why? Our Church, and her 4,000 square feet are heated using a large oil furnace that burns 1.5 gallons an hour. While she is very efficient and heats Our Lady of Good Hope Church very well with her 200,000 btu’s, heating oil costs $800 per month just to keep the heat at 64 degrees. The Church is well insulated so we need not address any of those issues.
And so, we have gotten two quotations to install a new heat pump system to replace our 17 year old a/c only system and will use the oil furnace as an emergency backup when it is below 25 degrees outside.
Can you help us with a tax deductible gift to defray the costs? Our two quotes for two different systems average $12,500 and we hope that some of you will be inspired to make a donation to help us with this.
