We want to get to know some.

Don't hesitate to say yourself, if it's true.

You guys wanting to do an article on refrigerant junkies or refrigeration companies?

Here's what you may run into. The Contractors are only as good as their service techs be it open labor or union. The larger contracting company may or may not have the brightest or best techs and you can also say the same with smaller companies.

Now if you asked who is the best refrigeration service tech it may lead you down your yellow brick road. ;)

I defer to the Wisdom of Lusker.

Who out there has the best people?

We're looking for commercial refrigeration companies with a good base of supermarket and restaurant clients, or possibly industrial customers who have large (possibly mission-critical?) refrigeration needs, who can help us stay abreast of the latest challenges (and technologies to solve those challenges) in the comm. refrigeration marketplace.

Thnaks, Lusker. Howz that?

I came across some of the most talented refrigeration techs at RSES, none of them are union members, that doesn’t mean there aren’t talented union fellas, no offence intended my lazy union friends I’ bet there are a few of you out there, haven’t met you yet :D. anyhow we have one heck of a refrigeration guy in the site, “icemeister” he is definitely one of the best in my modest opinion.

Bidding a Central Plant against them I am local, I am there everyweek, they already have my equipment total of 10000 tons of it

oh and the owner already told me there not up to par on what I am supplying :)



So?

Ron is doing a article on refrigeration contractors. Not your bid nor was my answer given on one single job that that hasn't even been done yet.

I doubt he also writes for "High Times or Skateboarding News" so I don't think words like "Butt Monkey's resonates that much with him and that is why I gave him a link so he could see for himself. It also was a plural question meaning more than one contractor.

Stellar has a global footprint. They didn't get that way in a short time because of one job bid.

From what I have heard.....
Contracting Business wants to get into more of the refrigeration for their magazine.
If I was refrigeration, I would email him. What better form of free advertising?
OK,
My vote, in no particular order on this site, as I, only as a moderator, and reading the answers of some of the members:
Lusk Refrigeration
Dowadduda
icemeister

ARPA doesn't feel well :D

There are a dozen or more guys here are simply top notch. I agree that Ice, Dave and D4 are on that list. There is a good friend of mine that ain't too shabby either.

I think AAA Refrigeration in the Bronx NY had the best tech in the country until i opened Gold Coast Refrigeration Service. http://www.goldcoast-refrigeration.com

On a more serious note I had a 10 year stint with AAA and would say in the NYC/Connecticut area they are the tops!

Many market chains, wholesale clubs ect. (non-union in Ct)

Would someone please explain (without calling names of others) just what is a Butt Monkey and why you are so infatuated with it?

Ron, you may have another article here. Butt Monkeys of HVACR.

I think the question was who is the best refer co?.....Not who is a butt monkey.
Sorry Mr J3hall, I would like to know.

In 25 years of service, I have not seen a single company, that has put stock In there employees.
There mind set Is " They are a dime a dozens", The Bottom Line is there only concern.
