Hometown Plumbing & Heating was awarded the Eisenhower Elementary School Climate Control Renovation project through the Davenport Community School District. The work consisted of the demolition of the existing hydronic heating system, fire tube boiler, main piping in tunnels, unit ventilators in class rooms, ceilings, and case work. The new system has a horizontal geothermal well field, 27 Airedale Classmate heat pumps with outdoor air capabilities, 17 Trane ceiling mounted heat pumps, 3 water cooled rooftop units, and 1 energy recover rooftop unit. A new electrical service, switch gear and transformer, ceiling grid and tile, storage cabinets, and laminate tops were also installed. This work required electrical, temperature control, sheet metal, test & balance, ceiling, carpentry, paint, ceramic tile, roofing, geothermal well driller, and insulation subcontractors.

Hometown Plumbing & Heating had the opportunity to work on the Bettendorf Event Center, now called The Quad Cities Waterfront Convention Center. The Quad Cities Waterfront Convention Center is envisioned to be the premier anchor facility of the River’s Edge Development project, a master plan for the future development and revitalization of downtown Bettendorf.

The Convention Center is a first-class, state-of-the-art, multi-purpose facility. Functions include business seminars, dinner banquets, conventions, and performance entertainment. With foldable panel walls, the event hall is flexible and expandable, capable of handling both large and small groups in multiple functions simultaneously in a combination of banquet and break-out spaces.
