I worked for Hobart for seven years, and I always did everything I could for the customer while I was onsite. And yes I've changed many ballast. Replaced ceiling tiles, replaced T&S valve cartridges, one time I even replaced the heater in the lobby of a Ruby Tuesday. Many hobart offices are independently owned, and different "owners" have different priorities on what they are willing to do at a restaurant.
