So there is an argument on who can do the job faster? For less money?
I have installed several. I use the same wires when I can to match the wiring diagram in the unit. I personally like to move...

There are literally hundreds of posts on this.

No complaints from me. I have worked on them for years. I have a few that run 24/7 365 and only minor drama. No oil samples and no more down time then a positive displacement machine.

Let make it real easy. If you turn a wrench it should be UA work plain and simple. The SMWIA is striving hard to maintain workers in an ever shrinking market, so they are going after the...

Kele makes a couple of good ones. The less expensive one actually works better. 4-20ma and 0-10 vdc.

Thermal no longer supports Mitsubishi. Gensco is now the only one. They offer classes fairly regularly in Fife. 3 day certification class is like a grand.

If it's tap talk I don't want it. What app?

Hey guys,
Unico system with cooling module Mc4860H/ 0704A213237. System was installed without a condensing unit and now it is time. I cannot find any sizing info on the Unico web site. It also says...

Burnt out on getting told about tap talk. Window pops up 3 times whenever I access this site. Please make it stop. Is there a setting I can change on my iPad.

In answer to the OP. Is the bag overpriced? In my opinion yes. As I can see many do not share my sentiment. Whatever the market will bear I guess. If they charge much more maybe not.
$100 is the...

Most restaurant refer companies are not union. Are you currently in a union?
Rent is a bit lower then So Cal in the Seattle area, if you move out to the suburbs it is much less.

Have you verified rotation? I have seen it before.
Are the drives the same brand?

Thanks Mr. Veto.

Veto bags are nice, but there are plenty of other bags that are almost as good for a fraction of the price that weigh several pounds less.

I have been hearing that.

I have seen many cooling towers over the years and never really thought about where they drain to. On larger buildings they always seem to dump into the sewer, and on smaller buildings I see them...

I think that we all need to push for on call pay. It is ridiculous to be on call for 7 days and not be compensated. I worked for years without being compensated and it was a joke. I actually like it...

I had a similar issue with my wireless scale. Fieldpiece bent over backwards to hook me up with a new one. I have not had issues with the new one.

Did you by chance flip any switch inside the control panel? It looks like a light switch.

If we are talking about strictly the most money on a yearly basis w/o being and owner or president. and not working uber OT
1. Commercial sales
2. Chiller mechanic 500-1000+ tons (union)
3....

Right on. Thanks for the info.

I have replaced several older model economizers with the Jade. Every one has go well, and they make maintenance and service much easier. I like them.

good stuff there. Mostly info on storage before you fire it off, but what about after it has been in service for 10 years?

Nice! I will use this trick.

Use a roto hammer bit.

I wanted to get your input on a long term chiller shutdown.
I have a building with (2) YSCA water cooled screw machines. The building chiller plant is not being used and looks to be in that mode for...

Gemco,
What have you been working on?

Not always the case. I work on plenty of roof top relief fans that have local non fused disconnects at the fan and the drive is located in a room somewhere else. Unless you want to put NEMA...

If it has a rotary switch it is GEN I or II. No rotary and it should be GEN III or 33cs. You can still get manuals from Carrier, but not much else. The hardware is getting really expensive, if you...

I never said it wasn't consistent, I said make sure you have something solid. There are a few guys on the bench, but I expect that to go up as the season changes to winter.
If you are good you will...

The licenses were created to protect work and the quality of the work. I wish there were more licenses or just one master license for the state.
The work up here seems to ebb and flow depending on...

I will see if I can dig through the manual I have on the matter.

Your local commercial Trane supply house will have access to the light commercial book with all the information you are looking for. Sequence of operation, redundant burner operation and all ignition...

There are a ton of residential companies hiring right now in your area. Take a look at Craig's list.

Dead Horse, Can of Worms, ETC. There are plenty of past posts about this. All I can say is good luck in whatever you do.

Yes, still Kiltech in the Smardts. You will have to let me know the details on the chiller. I thought that the HGBV was a must for staging in multiple compressors, however I have never worked on a...

I would disagree a bit with sargent York. I have always had excellent factory support from Smardt. The Smardts also have a LBV they just call it a hot gas bypass valve, same idea just different...

I was pissed off today when my 6 month old wireless scale pooped out. I was pissed again when I was told by my distributor that there is not a OTC replacement program for the first year. I sent an...

I just had the same problem today. Won't sync and I have used it about the same amount of times( 6 months old). Best part is, no over the counter exchange! I am going to get a fish scale.

It is the YVAA. How fast can this thing load and just how quiet is it?

I was told 240 ton air cooled York that is screw and can load in 60 seconds, and is also quiet.

As a side note I have had good luck with the Turbocor product as it relates to Smardt chillers, both...

What about the maintenance costs over the life of the chiller? How fast do they load?

What do you guys think about the new York screw chillers? I have a engineer that has sold a customer on these chillers over a Smardt Turbocor. His main reason is they can go from 0 to fully loaded...

has anybody bought any of the TX-VAV cards?

I have a mix of both. I find that Fieldpiece makes items more with the technician in mind. I use Fluke meters for the most part and Fieldpiece for my specialty tools. I recently picked up their...

I ran into a mag starter on a maintenance today that struck me as hot. I noticed the label on the coil was shriveled up. I ran a temp gun on the coil and it was 179F. The line load portion to the...

thanks, I will give it a try

I have the book, but it does not tell me which temp value I should look at. how do you know which column to read?

The coils are separate and stacked side by side and on top of each other any reduction in air flow can cause the feeze stats to trip. I have also found that when they system goes into economizer...

It was originated as a fitters union, HVAC/R was an add on. Wage parity has always been an issue in our local as well. We finally have gotten within a quarter and considering the economic market...
