Rooftop HVAC Upgrades in Progress at the Peoples Bank Building

Rooftop crew places A/C units. — Crews guide rooftop AC units into place after lifting them to the roof with a telehandler.

At the Peoples Bank building, crews use heavy machinery to hoist new AC units onto the roof as part of the restoration’s mechanical upgrades. Each unit is prepared on the ground, strapped, and securely attached to a telehandler. The units are then lifted to the rooftop, where HVAC crews guide the equipment into position. This sets the stage for the next phase of system installation, providing reliable, efficient climate control for the restored building.
