What a great bank of AO Smiths - two, in fact! Very clean installation done personally by Bryan Hermanson of MM. He's the HVAC Divisional Director for the company, so they brought out the big guns to assure on-demand hot water and heat to the folks at the Rapid City SD National Guard Camp.
Great work! Thanks to Dakota Supply Group and Michel Sales for the photos!
