Chapter News
Southeast PA
Last month, the Southeast PA Chapter met with Mike Arnt, the HVAC instructor at Lancaster County CTC (LCCTC), and his students.
  
The meeting was a great opportunity for the Southeast PA Chapter to provide the school replacement burners from Beckett, Carlin, and Riello. These burners were donated to the school to provide the students with hands-on field experience.

In addition, the Chapter attendees had an opportunity to speak to the students about their work experiences and offered advice for a successful career in our industry.

Westchester Chapter
At last month’s Westchester Chapter meeting, Vinnie Ventura of Venco Sales was our guest speaker. Vinnie gave an informative presentation about Steam Max Boilers, a dedicated steam unit with a ten-year warranty that is highly rated.

Attendees appreciated the detailed discussion on the benefits and features of this contractor-friendly boiler. Vinnie stressed the ease of installation because of the boiler’s optional installation kit, simplifying installation and the boiler’s multiple configurations, easing access to the boiler room. 
We thank Vinnie for a great presentation! He eagerly answered questions and educated our contractors with his comprehensive knowledge of the steam system.

New Haven Chapter
At last month’s New Haven Chapter Meeting, the guest speaker was Chris Herb, Executive Director of the CT Energy Marketers Association (CEMA). Chris gave an informative presentation on the current legislative affairs surrounding our industry. He highlighted a state initiative, brought forth by the California Clean Air Board (CARB), to electrify homes and cars by the year 2035. 

CEMA is launching a grassroots effort to battle this plan through presence at meetings and education of local municipalities’ energy-related boards. He emphasized it is a fight we can win, but needs the participation of everyone. 

We thank Chris for his time and a great presentation. Attendees enjoyed a delicious dinner and informative discussion. In addition to members in attendance, there were two new and two returning student guests from the Entech Training Center.

Eastern Connecticut Chapter
The Eastern Ct Chapter of Oil & Energy Service Professionals held its chapter meeting last month with 15 attendees including company owners, technicians, and manufacturers reps. Everyone enjoyed hearing from Fred Mariah of David Gooding, Inc. who spoke about Roth oil tanks with emphasis on oil containment issues facing installers today.
 
Fred was followed by Guy Woolard of Heat-Flo who led a very engaging discussion on Heat-Flo indirect water heaters covering proper sizing, piping, application strategies, anode maintenance, as well as the impacts of water quality, treated and untreated, on tank type water heaters.
 
The monthly raffle prize, a Rectorseal flaring kit, generously donated by EDOS Manufacturers Reps, was won by Ray Lopez of R&W Heating. A second raffle prize of two passes to the Eastern Energy Expo, being held this May 22-25 at the Mohegan Sun were won by a fortunate Henry Moy, also from R&W Heating. 
 
Congratulations to both winners and a heartfelt thank you to Fred Mariah and Guy Woolard.
 
Next month the ECOESP is pleased to welcome Dave Holdorf from Taco. Stay tuned for our meeting announcement!

Then, Joe Vitale from Vitale & Sons Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning updated members on a recent Oil Heat Cares project his team completed. Joe thanked Rosemarie Bartchak from Boyertown Furnace for supplying the warm air furnace and F.W. Webb of Allentown Pa. for supplying parts to complete project.
