2, twinned sets of peerless 1 million btu boilers (installed in the 30's or so), that we replaced with 2 sets of cascading triangle tube 399's.
Pictures are in wall of fame.
90% of our stuff is residential homes, so I'm mostly resi.
I do get to do all our commercial installs though."Better tell the sandman to stay away, because we're gonna be workin on this one all night."

I helped pull the inlet guide vane assembly on a multi kilo ton chiller at greenway plaza.
Houston guys know of that place.
Got a couple of 110 Trane RTAAs and some Trans 60 ton package units.
Lots of 20 Ton plus package units.

I always slathered my bod with Vaseline under my jump suit and oxy mask. If i got washed in a cloud of 717 refer I had some protection. Originally Posted by freonrick

yeah those are some big units and i knew there were bigger ones than i worked on. it was just crazy being able to just walk inside of the 75 ton like it was my living room and the compressors looked like engines but now that i work residential its all 5 ton or less. but its a lil different from what i used to work on and i love learning something new damn near every call i run
