The appointment with the specifying engineer did not go well. I proudly showed him the information about the boilers that I represent and he handed the material back to me and said: “Boilers are dead. No one uses them anymore. I am really busy.” I thanked him for his time, called him a jerk in my mind and left.
During the drive back to the office, I thought about the future of boilers. Was the engineer correct? Are boilers dead? Am I selling dinosaurs? I am reminded of this famous quote from the “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” movie: “I’m not dead. I’m getting better.” I believe boilers are still a great heating system and will share my reasons.
