Im 38 and after HVAC/R school I took a 1/3 pay cut and after working almost 2 years still havnt made it up to what I used to make. Just takes time and effort. I have heard of service techs making...

Also lets think if they asked 200 people a few questions and they grabbed about 15 people that didnt know a few questions thats not too bad. Film editing can be a strong weapon.

wow yea i woke up this morning in Sugar Land to the haze and strong smell of forest fire. I have a good friend thats been in Bastrop for a week fighting this. Really terrible. I must though what a...

Looks like someone threw a bucket of mud on the coils.

Yea sounds like its short cycling on a safety. Could be a pressure issue. Or as stated some kind of loose wire connection.

HAHA thats too funny (sad but funny). Took me a minute to see what they could have done to make this right. All they had to do was turn the trap around and of course a few other things.

Should be listed on the sticker on the edge of the unit.

i dont get paid unless I go out on a call.

ok dont do that.

Does the unit have a TXV and if so, is there a hard start kit for the compressor?

Besides what everyone else has said on here, I would say learning how to read a schematic is very important too.

Boss man wanted to see it. Its labeled at the shop.

HO Mom home with kids all day in Houston (Hot as hell). I through the Max200 in and everything started . I checked this thing 5 times, still get the same readings.

I had a dual cap today that read 365uf from common to fan and 7uf from HERM to Common. Anyone seen this before? Why would iy happen. Supposed to be 35/5 uf.

The Max 200's have help me alot. Dont find much trouble with them. Not anymore than a oem cap. Always good to have a generic motor on hand too.

Are you satisfied with the install and the comfort of the space? Just asking because I am wondering why you are so intersted in the settings?

Does that work through Home Depot?

Ok well maybe this one will help you a bit more?

Measure the hole that the filter goes in and call your local AC supply company. That is if you are talking about the return air filter.

I would have just added a tee and a couple of shut off valves in the PVC line.

I have 2 of them myself. The ones I have are standard residential port size. Is this what your asing?

OK, well I took your advise. I got my DeWalt exam guide in the mail yesterday. Also through in myself a HVAC troubleshooting guide by Rex Miller. Seems to be a pretty nice looking book. Thanks

Company looking at getting a few of us NATE certified. Wondering if anyone had any ideas or info about where I can pick up some good study materials for this test. They say there is a installer test...

Is the condensate line from furnce connected to the washing machine plumbing line? Could have gotten blocked during installation.

2 weeks ago I was called to a no ac call. Walked up to the door and the guy opens the door and has white boot covers rolled up for us. I said I have my own ( new, out of the box) He said no use...

I deal with Tranes on a daily basis. They have a 10 year warranty on most parts. Trane is a good unit IMOP. Why would there be shavings in unit at 6 years and why would you have to buy a whole new...

This past few months here in Houston, we have had alot of electrical storms. I have changed out plenty of blown boards this season. Just happens sometimes.

Thats what I was guessing here. The opening from the microwave to the vent is so close. Ill have a buddy fabricate a metal box that I can just slip in. Safest way. Thanks

I am doing a microwave install for a buddy. I pulled out the old range vent to put in a new microwave. The vent pipe is just a few inches above the cabinet bottom. The microwave vent is triangle....

I will tell you what not to get. the steel toe boots at Wal-Mart. I mean unless you want calluses across the top of all of your toes.

Go to the store or have your car washed or go get a coffe and read the news paper.

Yea I have not read your previous post but your unit could be over sized for your home. What happens is with a over sized unit your system will shut off to early not pulling the humidity out of the...

They have more insulation around the tank. If you look at the higher effeciant ones with the same capacity then the less efficiant, you will notice they can be a couple of inches thicker, holding in...

Oh my co-worker bought a attic fan from JS and it is wonderful.

Looks like your well stocked. Im gonna show you the mess my co worker makes me drive around in on a daily basis.

The Fluke 902 HVAC meter is nice. Has microfarad, temp and so on. The temp clamp for this that is about another $150 but its great. Its a Fluke 80PK-8. 1/4 and 5/16 bits for your dril. I...
