Pearisburg Public Library HVAC Replacement Project

The Pearisburg Public Library has replaced its HVAC system!

The project began on November 17, 2025 and the bulk of the work was completed in January 2026. A1 Heating & Cooling of Newport, VA is completing the work. While the majority of the work has been completed, the project is expected to be fully complete in Winter 2026.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do we need a new HVAC system?

The library’s current HVAC system was installed in the 90s and needs frequent repair. Fluctuations in temperature have a profound impact on library materials, causing them to deteriorate faster. Additionally, when temperatures dip too low or get too high, the safety of patrons and staff are impacted, causing unplanned library closures.

A new HVAC system will work more efficiently, and provide a more stable environment for library materials, creating a comfortable space for patrons and staff to learn, explore, and connect.

How much does this cost?

The total cost of this project is $121,000.

Will the library be closed?

The library will have limited services during this project. Please reference the project schedule for a timeline of service and be sure to check social media for any service updates.

Of course! You can always call to renew your books at (540) 921-2556 or message the library through Facebook or Instagram @pearisburgpubliclibrary

Is the mobile library still running?
