Working on the jail a/c

Working on the jail a/c

This latest contractor job I picked up was at the county jail.

  • And as you might know, the place is seriously old.

It is on the historic monuments registry, right alongside town board area, plus is one of the first buildings in the whole area. I knew that working in a jail with walls this old was going to supply us with some difficult challenges. With that in mind, I wanted to ask for a ton of money, plus the town paid it without an issue. So now, I am in it until the bitter end. Initially the jail was built without any ventilation system, nor any heater of any kind. That was taken care of some years afterwards, plus air duct was added along with rudimentary heating equipment. The stadium didn’t get any air cooling until the 68s, after there was a lawsuit from the ACLU about cruel plus unrespected punishment. They fought that making prisoner stand in such incredibly overheated areas with no a/c was a form of torture. They put in the air cooling device, but in doing so they caused a little structural damage, at which point numerous prisoners left. This is way more history plus backstory than any AC service job all of us have ever taken before, which is truly kind of neat, and no one was happy about working in the air vents of an older jail. At the end of the day, the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C company is not about fun, it’s about making money, plus this contract pays loads of it.
