Looks really nice. We price line hide as an option. We do not put drain pans under them either if they are in a non finished basement unless the customer wants it. We also leave it up to the...

You will find like autos, everyone has one they love and one they hate. I have used fieldpiece meters, scales, gauges for 20 years going all the way back to the original stick meter. I have had an...

Very nice work.

Im hard on the old type gauges. I usually typically had three sets for different applications. I had to replace one set every year. This will be the fourth year I have used the Fieldpiece SMAN...

System is around 10 years old. We did replace the leaking indoor coil this past spring. But otherwise has been running fine.

This week it threw a...

This machine sits real close to where the owner sits behind his counter. He is turning the machine off on the key pad when it happens.

If the water valve is sticking, turning the machine off...

This machine is 4 years old with no problems. This weekend it starts over feeding water, flowing over the pan and dumping into the bin. I go out and clean the sensor in some nickle safe and it...

Not really. On a job like that I would give them no guarantee. If you want me to fix it, it could run for a day or for a lifetime and be upfront about it. That's a choice the building owner needs...

Honestly I would go with the contractor you feel will do the best job and the equipment they install. We used York for 20 years, the only problems we had were with the local distributor. There...

We have had them throwing a fault when it drops below zero, but not a communication problem before

I have used field piece meters since the old stick came out many years ago. I have used the SMAN3 for a couple years now and I love it.

There are a few reasons I carry the digital gauges vrs the...

I usually take my favorite commercial BBQ sauce (it differs depending on the type of meat) and kick it up with at least a shot of Jim Beam Devils Cut.

Good luck. We wont work for a home warranty program period. If the home owner has a home warranty and they want us to do the work, the home owner will pay us in full and then "try" to get their...

We do not do a lot of boilers, But we do install a valve between the boiler and expansion tank, BUT we open it and remove the handle, place the handle inside the burner compartment.

If they would have used the black flex, you might not have seen it

I have used the Fieldpiece ATC1 and the ATC3 for many years without any problems.

I would pick a good contractor over picking brand name of the furnace. I have seen the best furnaces installed wrong and totally useless. I have seen the cheapest furnace installed correctly and...

Fluke is very proud of their products. Too proud, I have used all different kinds of meters in the past and will only use Field piece now. They are extremely durable.

We have used some of the "super seal" as a last resort, unit is not worth leak checking, to get maybe a year out of. There is no sense in leak checking a 20+ year old unit that has a small leak. ...

loop is too hot. You should probably do pressure in and pressure out to make sure the pumps are actually pumping, if there is a broken shaft the pump will still show amperage but not be pumping. ...

Talked with our ICP service rep. I am told its a Copeland vendor that uses a product as a rust inhibitor, that is clogging up the TXV's. I am also told its not just an ICP problem. That if its a...

We had one do that several years ago. It was an empty building, Luckily the building next door lost part of the roof and the local fire department had the gas shut off to nearby buildings as a...

Nice looking job. Climatemaster wants you to use a hose kit from the geo to the pumps, Its already figured in the pump sizing. We have to use purple cleaner here to. It looks bad but that's...

I wasn't sure where to post this picture I found while looking thru some of the pictures from the 40th anniversary of the tornado. But I wanted to post this picture when I saw it. I did not...

My luck the homeowner would say, Well its only a year old, Its under warranty
right?

I understand the complaint is with the contractor, but if I had WF literature saying it had a 10 year p&L warranty then I would be dam sure to get a 10 year p&L with it.

Sadly there is a lot of homeowners being taken by "contractors" using scare tactics, and condemning furnaces when they are not bad. IMO that's the bad side of running a tech on sales commission. ...

Several years ago we had a customer that was starting into dementia. She called every two days like clockwork and said she had no heat. We would stop by and check it. Now checking it meant...

I would have suggested that the gas valve be replaced. If the landlord chose not to, I would have them sign the work order saying that it should be replaced and he is taking responsibility for it. ...

You have to sell yourself, the brand on the box is nice. But there could be multiple dealers with the same name. Pictures before and after installs, Make sure to point out what seems normal to...

We had a similar situation this winter. The HSI would glow and not light 4 out of 6 times. Replaced the HSI and it still would not light. Took the burners out and cleaned them, (Propane) and it...

I know they are a tad expensive. But they break in a day or two, waterproof, and a good solid boot. Redwings 2892 I think is the number. Around $130 but you can find them on sale. They last me...

ACCA has a manual on Manual J. That's how I learned it. Well that and dad taught me. Its nice to learn the "science" behind it, but I do everything on a computer program now in minutes

We had three of these hanging Chrysler Airtemps in a bowling alley. Unfortunately it closed last year. But they are still there.

We have a heat pump installed last year with propane backup. We have been using the WR touchscreen 1f95-1277 with an outdoor sensor for the balance point to control the system. The balance point...

I had no idea that's what those doors were for....

#12 charge it with frezone until its "beer can cold"

I found one of these at the beginning of spring, This customer had pined the bush to the concrete because it looked bad from the pool. Had a blast trying to wash the condenser, and of course the...

We are not allowed to use the flex connectors like that either, We can use flex pipe, but the local inspector wants to see at least 3 feet of black iron pipe on the furnace.

I have done that in a pinch to get a unit running, But never left it like that.

Yes I did bump the airflow up to 550 CFM per ton. It helped a little, but the first stage really dries the house out, I'm not complaining. I don't mind having to add a little humidity to the...

We have the same thing all the time here. If Im using electric as the back up I like to size the first stage to do as close to 100% of the cooling load, and try to get the second stage as close to...

When you look at natural gas prices you have to look at the future of it. Not just todays price. Who thinks that gas will actually go down in price from here?

I have seen them cut and twisted back together, but not like that

If that was one of those York camo painted units you would never see it

Pulled the disconnect out and sit it aside. Didnt pay attention to it untill picking it back up to put it back in.

Here is the thing. If you put 20 HVAC contactors in a room and ask whats the best brand name, You might get 10 different names. Some people like Trane, because thats what they sell or use, Some...

I went back today just to check the machine out and make sure everything is ok. Talked to one of the trustees about the machine, water quality and operation. Sold them a brand new Manitowac...
