Yes, sir. And right now, business is good. Very good. The recession never really hit as hard as it did in other places. But when you consider that the boom never really hit here either, it makes sense. We have found that year over year, we are pretty even, going back 10 years or so. With the exception of 2009. That year sucked bad.

How are the gun laws in Maine? carry permits easy to get etc..? I would love to relocate but got to be a gun friendly state not the nazi state of NJ i live in now

They are the most relaxed of the New England states. This isn't Texas or Arizona, but we are a state full of hunters. There are more pine trees than people up here. You only need a permit if you carry concealed.

how many lead techs do you run now,and if a guy comes up does he jump in truck and go off on his own?does your shop know you shopping for bodies?what is the biggest tonnage total contract you have and as single unit air cooled or water cooled its single tonnage unit.... all this adds up to $$$$$.saw the America Reframed on PBS down here on the sardine plant that bumble bee moved out. the town council didn't want there apple cart rocked with(who lobsters were being touched) so left the guy hanging to go out of business....

We have two distinct shops that share bodies. There are 94 total employees in the company. One shop is strictly heavy commercial, industrial, institutional. The other shop is commercial, institutional, and extreme, high-end residential. There are openings at both shops due to solid, sustained growth and the aging of our techs.
Yes the guys know that we are shopping. We are looking to add techs, not displace any existing techs. There are 6 Master level service techs, and 14 journey level techs. Then there are 50+/- on the install side. The install crew and the startup responsibilities of the service department are about to grow, since we were awarded a hospital project with 200,000 man hours on it.
As far as tonnage goes, I think the largest chiller that we service is 500 tons. As you might suspect, cooling is second to heating up here. The largest boiler plant that we service has (2) 300 hp boilers in it. That facility has 6 different boiler plants on campus.
The majority of our service contracts are universities, research facilities, banks, and vacation home compounds (some of the most famous names in American History.) Those places are just commercial buildings that someone lives in for a few weeks a year (DDC controls, small chillers, several million BTU boiler plants, etc...)
Yeah, the whole mess with Stinson Seafood was a disaster. But so was the guy that tried to bring in the Lobster facility. What the PBS special didn't show was that the guy declared bankruptcy and walked away owing the local banks a lot of money and the employee's last paychecks bounced.
That facility is back in operation by the way, under a new owner, as a lobster processing facility.
Did I answer all of your questions?
