HELLO

[COOLJIM]

HI , new to site and new to the usa , i have recently relocated to pa usa, from the uk , i have been in refrigeration a/c for 38 years which will give my age away , but still fit [fittish] and looking to get into the workplace here , so spend some time looking through the forums enjoy the techs banter , a lot of useful information here , residential is so different from the uk , there it is predominately gas heat hydronics , [ central heating is the uk term ]. central air is rare and residential a/c is like chickens teeth . commercial air con is dominated by splits japeneese type with inverter technology very strong , RTU,s PTAC,s are like dodo,s rare birds . so hi to fellow techs making a living in this challenging and diverse industry , JIM.
