We wound up in Tupelo today for a service call on a Web connected energy
management system made by GridPoint where all thermostats are
replaced by control modules connected by Cat5 network cable back to
the electrical room where the system also controls the lighting inside
and outside the store. The tech support rep could even tell me the amp
draw of the heat pump package units on the roof. This stuff is tied in
with Siemens IntesisBox controls to interface with the building's power
system. I don't know if you're familiar with that sort of equipment and
why on earth they had to call us to drive from Birmingham to fix it. I
figured there must be someone in that area who can work on the stuff.
I think I read you were in Mississippi somewhere but I don't remember
what part of the state you're in and I pretty sure with your level of
knowledge and experience you'd be able to service those systems. ^_^

Well darn, you're closer to the big water. We had quite a wind on the
roof yesterday and I'll bet you're getting or have been blown around
by Tropical Storm Debby. Is most of your work residential or a mix?
The folks who developed the IntesisBox also produce equipment for home
HVAC systems. I was curious if you have ever come across it in any of
the buildings/homes you work on? ^_^

I do resi almost exclusively. Mid to high end system replacements, service,
maintenance, repair, etc.... with either Honeywell VP8000 or IAQ controls.

I didn't get much of anything from Debbie... I'm 60 miles from the coast.

Them dang evil rich folks gotta be cool too. Ever since my friend GB
died last Fall, I've done very little residential AC work so I'm stuck
with big commercial and institutional systems. I guess I'm lazy because
to me, commercial systems are easier to service even if I have to do a
lot of climbing but I can fart when I want to because the wind on the
roof will blow the green fog away. ^_^
