90% of my systems have redundant back up units. Same for the pumps. I get a list of routines at the first of each month. I usually finish them up by the 17th of the month. Then I start repairing...

I am speechless. At 24 you should only be worrying about the future. I feel selfish at 54 because I am in very good health. My thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family. God bless...

No, that is not too much equipment for one guy to take care of. Once you get all the problems sorted out you will be sitting around waiting for something to break.

Set up a PM program so that...

I was told that only Carrier (BDP) was doing the dry units. I could be wrong.

If your amp has not recapped that is the #1 issue. Old electrtrolytic caps tend to leak. I am not a guitar amp guy but the principles are the same. A total rebuild is in order.

Tubes are...

Hmmm, I have a friend who is an engineer for Carrier. I called him but have not heard back yet.

Wow, 45's offer a piping job that has less fittings and less labor. I have installed thousands in refrigerant piping systems and have never had one develop a leak. They do have to be refrigerant...

Not me, I always seem to get to watch the unit self destruct. Terminals blowing out of a 150 ton Copland recip was the worst.

Had a 15 ton Carrier from the stone age go down today. I heard a while back that Carrier and others would be offering commercial R-22 condensers shipped with a nitrogen charge. (I kind off thought...

+1 and the oil has to be bacon drippin's cured or uncured and it needs to be cooked in a well seasoned cast iron skillet.

Try it, you'll like it, it's a way of life.

Twilly, like you my dad (step-dad actually) was my mentor. He passed in 1995 also. I miss him, and think about him, everyday.

You put tears in my eyes. Life goes on.

Why buy an expensive laser thermometer when you can just feel the top of the compressor with your hand to determine if the charge is correct.

SH/SC? We don't need no stinkin' SH/SC.

I would...

Those old York tombstones looked cheap to me when they came out in the seventies. I guess they weren't that bad. There are a whole lot of them still around.

Goodman units had problems back in...

It is a standard 12 volt battery that is used in fire alarm systems and DDC controllers in my buidings. Cheap to buy and very sturdy. I carry a couple spares in my truck at all times.

I have...

Ditto to all the above.

I was working at a private christian school onetime in one of the womens dorms. I pulled out a ceilng tile to trace a t-stat wire and found a bunch of lace panties...

I heard Osama used one of his wives as a human shield. She is dead now. I am glad that coward is fish food.

Been that way for awhile and it is not just Trane. I work as an HVAC contractor for AT&T. I work for a very large construction company. They buy so much equipment from Trane that my pricing at...

Get well soon hvaclover.

I had a big spider like the one pictured jump out of some straw I was spreading in a chicken house for bedding. It got me on the end of my finger. the bite was very painful but really did not...

I have been nailed before. I guess some people react differently to the bite. I did not get the body but I suspect I was bitten on a fishing trip three weekends ago. We stayed in cabins that had...

Just be sure you get the tools with the lifetime guarantee. They have a line out now that does not carry the lifetime warranty.

I use Craftsman tools to wrench on my Mercedes and Porsches. I...

A Brown Recluse nailed me on my forearm a couple weeks ago. I waited awhile for it to dry up a little before snapping this pic. It was pretty gross for about a week. The worst symptom was blood...

The city just approved three chickens in the backyard. No roosters. I don't know if I am going to get any. I pass small farms everyday advertising a dozen fresh eggs for $1.00. They are good for...

The effects of radiation contamination of the land like in Chernobyl disaster took many decades to fully manifest. People in the region developed cancer at a much higher rate than normal Most...

I think it is a very poor decision on AT&T's part. Comcast has had it in place since 2008 but I hear charging overuse fees is hardly ever done.

I can go back to the good old days and perhaps we...

Starting May 2nd AT&T is placing a 150GB cap on DSL usage and a 250 GB cap on Uverse IPTV. The will charge a $10 overage fee for 50GB used over the limit.

To put this into perspective you can...

I am watching this thread with much interest as I have the identical problem without any latch out faults.

As far as the good old Trane service guide for this unit goes I was told by Trane that...

I had an ABB drive on a medical chiller cooling a CAT scan machine. The drive was replaced several times before I started working on the unit by another tech when it was under warranty. It turns...

Overhead

Not a bad idea. Part of my area has a big problem with cottonseed trees. It can literally plug the condensers up overnight. It would work well to stop the debris from entering the Trane condenser...

Plywood or sheetrock uninsulated leaky base stand returns are as common as dirt in my area.

I run into this all the time. I use a telco wire tracer to trace wiring issues. They have models that can trace wiring even if it has voltage on it or around it. I don't know what they cost...

I have been in the trade a lot longer than 17 years. Low pressure chillers are rare in my area so most of the chillers I have worked on are recips, scrolls, and screws. All I know about low...

Lawyers, come on, they may have lawyers but I have seen this bunch in action. Most of them don't have enough sense to pour pi$$ out of their boots. I know a lot of prosecutors and judges. I can't...

This reminded me of a George Carlin skit that is about the "rights" we enjoy as Americans. All you have to do is go to Wikkipedia, type in the search box "Japanese Americans and 1942" The result...

He did and won a big settlement from the WBC. It went all the way to the Supreme Court. Eight Justices ruled in the WBC's favor. Game over lights out.

Me either. I am more worried about what wedding dress Kate Middleton is going to wear. I am also worried about Lindsey Lohan.

Shouldn't be a problem as long as you don't use the five gallon bucket in the cart as a restroom. :grin2:

Sounds screwed up. When I am in a company vehicle I get paid for all my windshield time. I consider myself to be at work as long as I am in the company truck. I know my situation is a little...

straight line winds can tear those units off even if they were strapped down.

I had a flat 500sqf 4 ply hot tar built up roof peal off the back of my house and lay down on the ridge roof of the...

You must be young. I diagnose commercial units with a klien eleven in one, a Fluke 902, a streamlight stylus, and a Leatherman. If I need more I grab my Veto LC (new in January, love it, don't love...

I changed a 50 ton comp on an RTWA 90 a few years ago. I drained all the old oil out of the seperator and replaced the drier core. I charged the oil through the bottom of the oil seperator to the...

I love me some White Castle sliders or belly bombers as they call them in St Louis. Closest thing to it here is Krystal Burgers. The frozen WC are not the same.

These are AT&T international employees manning internal corporate call centers. No need to Americanize names.

When I added a Uverse box to my account I had to Internet chat with Joe in India to...

He is an egomaniac with "tiger blood and Adonis looks". I saw the interview too.

The sad part is the unemployment rate went up by two and a half men.

It was the only TV show I watched. I will...

As I type this my AT&T Corporate laptop is being updated from India by a gentleman named Kumar. I wonder if he has a friend named Harold.

Me too, and my Erector set, Rock Em Sock Em Robots, Lincoln Logs, Etch O Scetch, Slinky, my Casey Jones Metal pedal train, and many others.

Now my toys are a little more expensive and they are...

I ran across a couple of B&G CDW loop pumps with suction diffusers and got a surprise when I pulled the covers to clean the strainers. There were no strainers. Somebody had removed them. I ordered...

The only reason a "pos" electronic air filter would cause that is if you do not clean it. I guess you could be talking about those 1" filters that you change the pads on and have a grid in them that...

75*F a week ago Saturday. Dropped to a low of -5*F by Wednesday of last week. We got ice/snow Tuesday and snow Friday. The Friday storm was the one that hit Dallas. 35*F and sunny today. I hope...
