Even if phosgene was created during a leak repair, if he's been ventilating the room with fans it's long gone. I've worked with various refrigerants for 20 years with no effects like you're...

I agree, might be the video but that fan looked way too slow.

Before you go to school for this, realize a few things:

You won't be making $100,000 a year right out of school
You WILL be working more than 40 hours a week
Being a tech means a lot of long,...

I generally recommend against covering A/C units. They are meant to sit outside year round. Covering them leads to moisture problems, rodents, nuisance service calls (when you start it up without...

Yes, there is.

That particular furnace can be a nightmare to service. Codes 41-44 are blower codes as I recall, and the blower controller or circuit board are EXPENSIVE. That furnace was also included in the...

The ole Goodman CKL. "Looks clean from here, nothing's poking out of the louvers yet!"

The model doesn't look familiar, but I had a similar problem on an old Rheem and ended up switching it to a 2 pole contactor. I bet you'll find the motor is running at half speed.

I'd bet it was a Trane. Changed a couple dozen like that.

Got sent over to install a UV light on this system. With the doors on, I was perplexed as to why the A/C drain elbowed down into the furnace, and why there was a plug on the side when they had no...

This is what happens in rural areas when there's little to no code enforcement:

Get called out (another callback) for a noisy A/C. This customer is kind of a whiner so I'm expecting some minor buzz or something. Instead it sounds like someone is pouring gravel into the...

Previous tech spent two hours on this call. Old Rheem cube, randomly trips breaker (usually on super hot day). The other tech spent over 2 hours on this, replaced the breaker, and pronounced it...

Previous company she had out gave her the ole gas-n-go. Unit still icing over. I pulled the filter out and it looked new (always a warning sign). I opened up the plenum and found:

Why would they need to recover? Is it the outdoor TXV? Why can't this just be pumped down and repaired?

I don't think you flip these handles, they ride in a track thing with a stop. I bent the handle to shut it, but I shouldn't have to do that and it looks crappy.

We've made it so you don't have to drain the boiler to fix the pump. All you have to do is cut out the flue pipe and replace it when you're done. :beat:

I do believe that's a WOG valve - water, oil, gas.

I'm a residential/light commercial service tech. I also spent 10 years working wholesale selling controls and doing tech support.

I understand that you can't just buy flappers anymore either? Someone told me you have to buy an expensive "tune up kit" instead of getting the flappers alone.

I'm planning a move to Las Vegas (actually, Henderson) next summer and am wondering how hard it will be to find a job. I'm actually looking to get out of field work, would prefer something along the...

Zoned 90+ furnace, been chugging away for 10 years. Cust just had A/C clean and check a few weeks ago. Now it's making loud whistling noise when the A/C runs. I go there and find the blower wheel...

I've changed a few of those G26's like that. It's a burner alignment issue, though Lennox assures me no recall is necessary, just make sure you use those new burners that we included for no...

I have an idea: Call a qualified technician before you cause more damage.

You must not work on many Goodmans.
