Considering I'm still new to the industry, I'm glad I'm not the only one out there with this gripe.

As long as it can measure tenths of inches of WC, you're good to go. I use the fieldpiece manometer head with a dwyer 303 tip and a 1/4" bit. It has a switch to change the scale for anything above...

Beat me to it! The G25 is the brightest, longest lasting, most durable flashlight for those attics!

We just started stocking the Air Scrubber Plus made by activtek. All the research is very convincing, but I'm doing my own right now before I reccomend one to anybody.

This is 100% correct. We just did a two story 5 ton zoned with 22 duct runs plus return. We pulled the blower, cleaned the coil, registers, and all ducts. We were there from 8:30 this morning...

We go through Air Care, out of Las Vegas. I don't know how their prices compare, but their equipment has lasted us pretty well. Their technician that fixes our rotobrushes always tries to sell us...

We used to clean flex duct all the time with bristle brushes, specifically air care brushmaster. We have had 5 cases of torn ductwork in 3 years. However, I will admit that it's impossible to...

I don't trust it at all, but my company has us do it. Certain customers want us out once a year for the furnace AND the a/c maintenance for whatever reason. We check refrigerant charges in January....

Static pressure needs to be checked. By a hired professional, however. If that thing doesn't have enough airflow you'll end up with a breached heat exchanger. Even on the diamond 80 tubular's

Sounds to me like maybe somebody cleaned the coil but was too lazy to pull the blower?

Around here it depends. If somebody has sold a furnace only or condenser only, and the schedule is wide open, they'll have one man do it. If it's a furnace and a/c, definitely two people. ...

All the systems around here have a cleanout at the p-trap. I keep a cap in my tool bag and cap off the cleanout, and give it a blast of nitro from the inside of the coil box/pan. Or just vacuum it...

So, I've just started with no experience in the HVAC field for a residential company. They brought me on at 17/hr to start with no comission, and told me that they would want me to go to...
