Students residing in non-air-conditioned halls are not permitted to bring their own air-conditioner unit to campus. However, students with medically documented needs may be approved for air conditioning by submitting (fax or mail) documentation from the student’s family doctor to the Bailey Health Center. Once approved, the student will be directed to Facilities Operations to complete the process.  There is a fee for installation and use of these College-supplied units. Once approved, the student does not need to re-submit for subsequent years.  A student who has been previously approved for an air conditioner and who will not reside in a building with central air conditioning may contact Facilities Operations, 610 330-5373 to request installation. Only Facilities Operations Staff is permitted to install AC units in college-owned properties. Students living on campus at Lafayette College are not permitted to use their own private air-conditioning unit.  The two main reasons that they are NOT permitted in College owned, off-campus housing are:

The electrical systems in the off-campus houses are not strong enough to support the use of an AC unit. Therefore, if an AC unit is in use, it is only a matter of time before a circuit breaker becomes disabled. When students do install AC units, there is a tendency for students to remove screens/storm windows and either damage them in the process or misplace them over time.green ac unit The only exception is when a student requests and is given permission to use an AC unit for medical reasons by the Bailey Health Center via a letter from the student’s family doctor.  ac package units pricesOnce approved, Facilities Operations will install the unit in your window after a work order has been filed.typical cost of a new ac unit RA Duty Area Numbers

How Do You Know When You Need Air Conditioner Replacement? If you are not quite certain that your air conditioner needs to be repaired or replaced, below is a checklist of signs that can help you decide.

While some of these can result from other issues that only involve simple repairs, a lot of them are good hints that your air conditioning unit is on its last leg and will soon have to be replaced. Part of the integrity of our service is that if we see that a system may not be worth continuing to invest in, we will always give you the options of repair and/or replace. We will never pressure you either way; it is our job to provide you with the tools to make the best decision for your Family. If you find yourself repairing your unit every season – more than one time per season you may want to have the unit assessed to see if you will be better off having it replaced. If no replacement is necessary, professional yearly maintenance can extend the life of your unit. If you find your energy bills increasing – Higher energy bills can be a sign of inefficiency of the air conditioning unit. Sometimes this can be something simple like a disconnected duct, other times it is a sign your system is working too hard and not producing the same results it did when it was newer.

Today HVAC systems are made with efficiency in mind. Older models can be an energy hog that you may want to consider upgrading. If your unit has been running for over 12 years and you are starting to see issues surface or you find that temperatures greatly vary from room to room. If the AC unit is not cooling the home properly – if it has been running for a while but the entire house is still warm and no windows and doors are open. This might be a filter related issue so turn the unit off, check the filter and remove any lint or debris that may be trapped, re-install the filter and turn the AC back on. If after a few minutes there is still no change in temperature give Bell Brothers Heating and Air Conditioning a call, we will be glad to diagnose the issue. If you see fluids leaking out of the unit –Leaks are a good sign that some of the important parts of your air conditioner are failing. If your unit starts making strange sounds – that could be an issue with your motor, but having a technician or utility company out to look at it is advised
