Re: My three worst jobs sites. What are yours?
The worst was The grease trap in a fish store. Other than that any of the hundreds of hoarders that I've been to.

Re: My three worst jobs sites. What are yours?
This post makes me smile. Vacuum pumps are used in rendering plants, so yes, been in lots of those. Edible oil and shortening plants are slippery too. Really had to be careful climbing the stairs.
Sewage treatment plants too. They're not that bad, really.
Poultry processing plants use vacuum pumps for evisceration. Really nice when we'd get one in for repair that had been baking in a hot enclosed semi trailer for a day or 2.

Re: HVAC in New Construction in 2024
54% of new homes the primary fuel is electric, resistance or heat pumps.

Seems steam and oil are not popular LOL
