buy a manual transmission truck. install clutch lock and kill switch.

You need an exhaust fan and MUA system that would do 4 airchanges/H at the minimum ( the logic is you bring in cooler air at 20 c or less). dump all the inside air and replace it with fresh air. You...

I've done it several times. No big deal. Better than driving an hour round trip to get the right cap. it works, it's proper.

Bump, still looking. Have more contracts and hours than me and one helper to cover adequately.

no one asked this: did you pressure test the system after you brazed the compressor in?

seriously, get out of Ontario. The wage is low and the work is seasonal.

Nordic mechanical. Based out of Edmonton, but the work is in Lloydminster. So you have to move there.

Send resume to me by pm.

I'm not the one making decision to view or not but you'll be reporting to me. Commercial work only.

If you're willing to move to Lloydminster I can connect you to the right person.

Found out they even wired it in.... lol. Has all the connections but no power. So I was lucky. However I need to replace pressure equalizer heater

stay in controls!!! it's warm and dry. you don't want to be fixing chiller if you don't have to. i mean fixing chiller is fun when you get it right, but when you don't it's a major headache.

where did you find a fan that fit like that?

seriously? i would want a mask at the minimum to go down.... look at the mold on the wall

Its a throw away unit, but When they work, they work very well. Haier also has regular split ac system. The rest of the world that doesn't know what's evacuation and purge uses this.

Well, you always could tandem them together to gain more heating capacity. Have you talk to your rinnai rep about that option?

Metering device IS a restriction... except you know the restriction rate to be called metering device. It's there to provide pressure drop. No pressure drop, no refrigeration. To see if the LLS is...

what you need is a different shop.... this trade the politics are the same with yours. once you find a good company, time to settle down.
