Local considerations in Pennsylvania

Winter snow and freezing temperatures make snow and ice management, heating checks and pipe-freeze prevention part of the program.
Seasonal start-ups for heating in the fall and cooling in the spring keep equipment ready before demand peaks.
Work is scheduled around trading hours, building rules and landlord requirements at each site.
