Tip...Stock up on new TXV's for this location, you will need them.

Typical fan control is generaly by individual smoke detectors in the unit. Some larger plants incorporate a centriswich that kills control voltage by use of relays. This is mearly a disconnect that...

Sorry buddy, the 411 operator may have gave me the wrong number. Automation controls was the listing i was trying to find. It may be under Gorham Shaffler co. also.

bd, the position i mentioned before is going to require at least 8 years, but if you can use a laptop, there is a place that was looking, they do a lot of factory warranty and start-ups....

Why are you trying to cool the entering water? Will the chiller not keep up? And what are you going to use to disapate this heat? Another coil? Why not just build your own chiller, and throw the RTAA...

bd....Are you still looking? When you say mid-career, what does that total? Do you think you could stand a Memphis commute? I know of a position about to open up here, I'd hire you myself, but we are...

His name wasn't Benny, was it?

Have you tried SM lawrence yet? Are you union or non?

You really have no reason to bypass the fan cycle unless it wont close properly. It wont do any damage to the unit to bypass it, but it will over condense in times of low ambient. If this unit is in...

I've been jealous of you in the past Richard, and i feel more so now. Your shop has lost an invaluable asset. I am not able to retire just yet, but i can afford raisans. Please post pictures of the...

This is nothing new, Companies have tried this time and time again...Truth is, it doesn't work. Service trades thrive on spot work, If you cant get there on time, someone else will. Whatever policy...

Just wait 'em out buddy, another couple weeks of 100 degree weather will have them writing you a letter!

Big difference in hunting and killing....Most hunting doesn't include killing. Hunting here in Mississippi consists of riding a 4 wheeler, drinking lots of beer and listening to the hounds, and...

Not being a computer guru like some of you, How is it possible to know for sure you ever had a virus or worm or spyware attack if all you have to go by is the protecting intity? Is it not possible...

I have to cut mine, cant get anyone to do it. Had a kid from down the road, 15 years old, gave him 75 bucks for three hours work. Even though it took me longer than most to graduate, that's 25 an...

Been bald since 18, now 50. Tell your "friend" not to worry about the hair, in a few more years his butt will flatten and his stomach will grow. He will have plenty of hair in his ears and nose to...

The certifying party is probobly the inspectors brother in law.....

Carrier sent out a rep on a unit we just took over, 40 ton condenser, muffler installed at factory in the wrong direction. This guy thought it was pretty important i guess, He left his lunch and came...

OHHHH! So now i'm one demensional..LOL. Why would anyone want to do both? Is not each in it's own design difficult enough? I wouldn't mind doing start-up type stuff INSTEAD of chiller work once in a...

I like staybrite for TXV's and small stuff, but the next guy comes along and brazes the line with a turbo torch and melts all the staybrite. Really messy.

Trane probobly wont come to the site....You have to ask yourself where they got the chiller in the first place?
Used? National accounts? Internet?

We do this for a living, you already cut out...

Whatever....I'm just telling ya'll what the Hartford people said. If this had been the only boiler i had ever seen that was damaged by delayed ignition I'd probobly agree. But it wasn't. I guess we...

I helped replace one like this with similar damage in Chicago years ago....It was a delayed ignition....like 3 minutes. I did not know then that three minutes worth of gas at 75 inches of pressure...

Need more info dude, is this an existing building? If so, what is there now? If your starting from scratch, i'd say air cooled chiller is the only way to go, unless noise would be an issue. Water...

I feel for you, Spades....But finding a 30 ton process chiller fast, is almost impossible too. I assume you will be changing the compressor, and leaking evap coil. This leaves a condenser coil, maybe...

This is the post i just dont get.... did you join the union after voc school? And if so, doesn't the local require the contractors to provide you with tools?

As signatory contractor, we are...

One must be careful when lowering condenser temps to acheive savings, you may wind up with a load of nuisence trips and oil problems. The 19 should not be a problem, but not all chillers like the...

Ken is right, The Kitchen exhaust is the most important part of your install. If not done correctly, this will cause a myriad of problems including cooling loss and perhaps gas pilots being snuffed...

I've seen this set-up many times. Most supermarkets have so much cooling in the form of open display cases, little comfort cooling is required. However dehumidification is almost always needed, as is...

That's just great.....peak my intrest, get me all excited about stealing another idea of your's, and now i have to wait.....This is'nt fair.

This is your choice, but the money and benny's vary from region to region. If your in a northern state, to mid-west, the unions have a very commanding presence and it's likely the decision will be...

I have to say that i'm a little confused myself....If you're tripping the compressor breakers, why by pass the HP switch? Did anyone check any pressures? Sounds like it may be over charged.

I'd...

"All my leon freaked out".....You cant make something like that up..LOL.

The no8no3 comes from my love of boxing, back in the day, I was in the amatuer's. I later served on the Mississippi boxing...

Richard...Once again you have pulled my tail feathers from the flame. I now have written proof from a viable source that lower condenser water temps actually do reduce loads.

My only problem with...

Most rebuild shops use a jig to drill out about a 1/4" hole, and then fit a pin that size flush with the body, then drill out a smaller hole in that pin to accomidate the plate pin. A lot of...

I guess if the truth be told, it's passibly the individual personality and ability to control ones emotions that becomes involved in the decision process.

There is absolutely nothing wrong at all...

Sorry for the late reply, Legend... really busy. But yes if a member of my team gets a better deal and feels it is the best senario for him, why not? This is kind of doubtful since 9 out of 15 are...

Jeez...I certainly hope that Aaon has addressed all of their quality control issues they have had in the recent past. We used to do some warranty stuff for them, and if they cant get a 10 ton rtu...

I've never seen any mention against plastic in the code book, but why would you install a plastic pilot line on any gas appliance, much less a boiler?

Hey dude, E-mail me, if your still interested in work here in Memphis, I have a hit on a company really close to the Southaven area. no8no3@hotmail.com.

It would tickle me and my back if all chillers were small and slow......

Did two bearing inspections, and 3 overhauls this winter, all CVHE's, on the last overhaul we started the stupid thing up, and the power factor capacitor blew up, with the panel open. Scared me to...

Dachipsta, The good news is, Good techs are always in demand here. If you have ANY control experience that's even better. Expect wages to be from 20, to 30 dollars an hour, depending on exactly how...

The company i work for is a Comfort systems branch, to tell the truth, i really am not crazy about the place. Too many controls, and paperwork for my taste, and if that wasn't enough, we will be...
