Are you proud of your work? - Alan R. Mercurio

Of course you are! Now here's a chance to show the entire heating community, What you do best.

With its 50th anniversary year, NAOHSM (National Association Oil Heating Service Managers) is planning a year of exciting events. The first to be announced is the 1st NAOHSM Installation Contest. There will be two classes for this competition - a Residential and a Commercial Class.

As more and more people learn about the contest, the excitement is building. As one of our members put it, “I was sitting in my office with several of our technicians when I learned of the contest. To tell the truth, they became more excited about the contest than I was; they immediately began naming jobs that would be great entries. How about that job on Walnut St? one of our technicians said. Another interrupted, “The electric to oil job we did last month is even nicer.” On and on they went; naming various installations we had completed in the past year. I sat back and listened. They were proud of the effort and attention to detail they had poured into our installations. It reminded me of athletes trying out for an all-star team; they were ready and willing to show their best.”

So gather your service/installation department together and pick out your best - show everyone what your team can do.

The categories of each will be:

· New Construction heated with oil
· Replacement for oil with an oil heated system
· Electric to Oil Conversion
· Gas to Oil Conversion

The Requirements
· Submit at least 3 pictures of the job & one of the building.
· Along with the pictures include a typed description of the job. You might highlight any special difficulties with either installation or salesmanship, projected or realized fuel savings or customer testimonials

Deadline for submitting your entrees for the competition is Friday, April 5, 2003.
You can e-mail your submission to info@naohsm.org
or mail it to P.O. Box 67, East Petersburg, PA 17520.

How do you convert a gas boiler

to oil?????? I am assuming you are changing the boiler. HMMMM

Alan R. Mercurio

It's all in the wording

Ok You got me there Tim For the most part one would be converting a system operated with gas to a system operated with oil. You could however include the picture of the gas boiler as the "after" picture in your (before & After) presentation.

For the record there are a few systems that you can remove the power gas burner and install oil. atmospheric gas to oil would get messy though ~
