Thanks for the advice; I'll advise our crew to do a wet-coil static test.

Here in southwest Louisiana, I have a customer with a 2011 5 ton 410A Am. Std. Air Handler 13 SEER-matched installed horiz. application. Late last summer, I went to perform maintenance on their...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seem to remember having read somewhere that belts should be replaced at least bi-annually anyways? I know few, if any, do that, but showing customer that belt and...
If indoor coil is in an Air Handler, check amp draw to A/H at breaker box; could be a partially shorted heat strip. We've come across two in the past 3 months.
I had a Veto pro-pak I abused the hell out of for 3 years; over that time, the zippers failed one by one, finally forcing me to look at another tool carry-all (not the bag's fault; I overloaded it,...
To my experience, after-market motors, no matter the brand, do not have the same longevity as OEM's. Perhaps the 'couple of years' comment was a little off-the-cuff, but I can promise you that in...
I keep a couple of A.O. Smith after-markets (one 1075, one 825, both multi-horse) to get by temporarily, but I'll go back with OEM if/when at all possible. On older units, that's not always an...
This was another dishonest media-hype setup scam, no doubt. The featured techs, for the most part, looked like ruffians I wouldn't even let on my property, much less my home. I think MSNBC went out...
Amen, brother. Amen.
This has gotta be a hoax. I believe quite sincerely in stupidity, but this is beyond all possible reason. I could understand if the rest of the install were pooch-screwed, but it's too neat. Too...
Great! I'll wait and see if I get a few more responses, but thanks for the input, Mark.

Hey guys. I'm looking for a tech consensus on what brand of 3 1/2 ton (13 SEER System) cooling coil is the most reliable (minimal Formicary Corrosion, fin-tube leak, and TXV issues), and well...
That's great news, Dave. Uh, who are those manufacturers? I know Trane (and I assume it's parent company Am. Std.) was making alum. coils available for new installs, but I don't know if they're...
Steve, my note was not to question the ability of your product, but to point out that advertising it here to us contractors and service personnel does little for either you or us. We handle the...
Well Steve, I don't know too many contractors willing to absorb the extra cost and time of having coils coated after the point of sale. Such things need to be done during construction by the...
I've been working for the same contractor for 20 years. In that time, we've sold Trane and a series of lesser brands; about 6 to 7 years ago, we went to Maytag as our lead brand. Both brands have...
No, DavyB, I wasn't having a stroke...that WAS "Cajun-Speak", or at least my own best attempt, since I'm only a "half-bleed" Cajun who grew up around a Texas native...
Hey, E/R/LA, I saw the...
Mais weh, E/S, we hea in SWLA call dat "Duct Straps", cheir. Me, I've also harde of dem calt "Panduit Straps". <GRIN> Panduit is a brand name, E/R/LA.
Wow. In S.W. Loserana, much of what you guys describe for flex-duct install and testing has not yet 'caught on'. Hell, contractors around here barely even know of the term "Mastic". Back in the...
