Lafourche Parish Schools, LA

For the Lafourche Parish Schools, Louis Schweizer and his staff at Product Engineering, Metairie LA and quality air conditioning equipment are a 25 year tradition. In partnership with Lee Castagnos of Castasgnos-Goodwin & Associates, Hourna LA, Product Engineering has placed Dunham-Bush air conditioning equipment in over 15 school system installation including the systems central office.

The three largest projects installed are in the three high schools within the parish. Smaller project included almost a dozen elementary school installations including the La Fargue Elementary School equipment pictured above and to the right. For that installation, Product Engineering provided two new ACDX040 - Air-Cooled Chillers.

The ACDX040 Chillers were supplied with: disconnects with handles, operating and safety lights, return water temperature sensor, fin guard top only and special paint, suction line insulation as well as suction and discharge line ball valves.

"As with all the equipment selected by the school system in the last 25 years, reliability, serviceability and extremely quiet operation levels were the deciding factors," said Mr. Schweizer.

Francis Hubbell of the Lafourche Parish School District, Lafourche LA, speaking for the school system said, "I like the easy to maintain coil surfaces. Dunham- Bush's condenser fan spacing makes it much easier to clean than competitive equipment and we love the reliability of the Hitachi screw compressors."

In his twenty-five years of supplying equipment, Louis has seamlessly provided quality units built in Illinois, Virginia and now from Dunham-Bush's new factory in Malaysia. "All the units look alike and if anything the quality and finish now is superior to the other units," said Mr. Schweizer.

When asked the secret to his long-standing selling success, Mr. Schweizer said, "The key is to get to the owner and installing engineer to make sure they know of the features offered by Dunham-Bush."

"The long-term reliability of the equipment, combined with the lower cost of maintenance built into its condenser design and exceptionally low operating sound levels are things that appeal to school installation ...things they are willing to pay for." said Mr. Schweizer.

Thank you, Louis and staff for 25 years of fine work. Dunham- Bush appreciates your hard work and loyalty!
