Took me a lot of installs and late days to figure this out.
My head started to hurt when I saw this. This guy needs to be beaten with every ACCA manual, Nate study guide, RSES magazine and Modern Refrigeration book ever written.
Then the house burns down the next day, God forbid.
I know right? If only they would have spent that few million they tried to save, by offshoring production, on U.S. taxes and wages, they could have saved hundreds of millions in lost sales and...
Inspections, what are those?
I'm all for it. I just feel all the extra politics in some states is complete bs, and that different counties in the same state shouldn't have different requirements. IMHO, one set of rules should...
You guys are lucky, when I took the exam in Kentucky 8 years ago, they had just made it a closed book test, luckily Kentucky & Ohio had gotten together and decided to make up an exam written by...
The link is great! You are officially one of my heroes.
As much money as we've spent with them over the last few years on two new buildings with 90+ units, we wouldn't let them say no, lmao. Gave us the lite version of the software, I don't know how to...
"FULLY MAN, THAT'S what I'm talking about!". (In my Brian from "Half Baked" voice)
I thank you for that, great "Holder Of Controls Knowledge".
Thanks to all of you guys, I got the answer to my main question. You have to set a start and stop time, and have the unit in a schedule in order to shut it off. Why not just give us an OFF option and...
Lol, I did that way back in the thread, know we know who didn't read the whole thread! Just kidding with you, thanks for the info, but I did that a while ago, if you read early in the thread that's...
I think I may have mislead or mispoke some where in my rant. Our sales guy gave us all the manuals, he even came out and did the one on one. He is a good guy. I understand how to set up schedules,...
The units are working fine, they were installed correctly, we have the asbuilts and manuals. I am reading them, the sales guy has been out three times to help us out, he came and did onsite training....
Thanks guys. Some of the lingo in the manual is alien, I'll keep reading, plus call the factory.
I'm not high enough on the totem to buy anything but parts from the parts house, lol. This is my delima, I know a lot more about Carrier i-vu, but had no say in which sytem we installed in our new...
Lmao. I scheduled the on time for 7:00 and the off time for 7:05. It worked like a charm. I was on the verge of just going to the roof and throwing all the switches. I will not let Trane make me out...
Got it! Thank you all.
Who gets me in contact with ACDDC? Do I have to do the usual, call trane and ask for the conference call?
Tracker software v12, latest service packs. Should I go to the touch screens themselves?
They have been out several times, but I need to learn it my self, having to wait two or three days for the sales guy to come out is a pain in the @$$. The installers don't know too much more than...
I need help. I work for a school that just installed 40+ trane roof top units 3 &1/2ton to 35ton, and a trane tracker system, "TRACKER" NOT "TRACER". The learnig curve on this thing is crazy. Our...
"Hey guys, come on! I didn't have any straps, what do you expect me to do, drive to the parts house and buy enough to stock my truck?"
Owner: "I don't hear my compressor, It probably just needs some gas."
Well would you look at that? They put the disconnect in time out. Bad, bad disconnect!
I don't get that either, but I'm new so hey.
You guys are great, thank you for all the laughs, and thanks for the info I get here. Thanks to the admin also.
Come come now. So, let me get this straight..., because some guy is willing to shovel $h!t for less than min wage, the min wage worker is over paid? Cut it out my brother. We are paid for our...
How long before a pro application is approved or denied? I think my post count was high enough, and I scanned my 608 cert to the app., should I have scanned my work I.D. too?
I agree and disagree at the same time, installers should get the majority of their money from labor, not mark up, esp. if they live around unscrupulous distributors that turn a blind eye to the fact...
(Installer): "I hate when they put an extra piston on the coil, and what's with this hooked wire thingy?"
Piston may be the wrong size, or piston restriction. My Father would always make us tripple...
Fan only is a good one, learn somthing new every day, thanks. p.s., I tried the heat mode, damn unit next to it kicked in on heat mode, I swear!
. And for this sir, we thank you. I always forget the fact that my father came from honeywell, not to mention one of only six or so African American HVAC companies in our city at...
You sir, are the Man!
:cheers: I'm at my comp in tears, this is funny.
If it works, use it. Or, do what I did, I bought a JB "Zeppelin" 4 valve manifold with a 3/8 port, and the DV-29 kit. Cost a few bucks, but the time it saves, not to mention being able to isolate...
It sure seems that way at times.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE mark the t-stat with the unit number if there are multiple stats & units, so I can find the unit without climbing up and down the latter fifteen times trying to see if the...
I agree. Also go pick up a book or DVD on basic electric controls. Or go get the Modern Refrigeration book, lots and lots of reading, but well worth it if you don't want to stop your heart from...
Started out at my Fathers HVAC business in Louisville, KY, fresh out of college. I know installs like the back of my hand, electrical troubleshooting is a breeze, thought I knew refrigeration service...
Do I use regular methods of sh or sc on mobile package units? The vertical type you find on mobile trailers used on construction sites.
Wow, not only did they not install the pump above snow-fall, they just leave the old unit........and the home owner paid? I've had to wait the weekend to get paid, because the parts house closed and...
Nope, come on guys, he read the installation instructions, it said to terminate the vent
4' from a door, he missed the part about the 12" min. above expected snow fall, not to mention the whole...
He should have researched a little more, then he would have found your number before starting the install, lmao!
Nothing like clean lines and angles.
Lol, didn't want to be that guy since I never post, but I was wondering what he was talking about my self.
Seen many of those in my short 15 or so years in the game.
Looks a lot better than a few of the jobs I have come across here in the Los Angeles county area. I moved back to California from Kentucky three years ago, after going to High School, College, and...
Worth the price on amazon, not if you're familiar with the subject, but for a gas tech, or an AC tech with limited or no knowledge of comm ref., I'd say it has a wealth of knowledge, and is a great...
Great read, thanks guys.
