Ruben can chime in on how he likes it!

Still looking for good techs that want to work. I’m looking for all range of technicians that have some experience, I’m really in need of techs that have 1-2 years’ experience to grow their career....

Hill Phoenix service dept. in southern CA is looking to hire several technicians for all areas. I’m looking for techs from a tradesman level that live in San Diego all the way to Journeyman that live...

Sometimes you remove it if your having icing issues. IV had it intermittently kick out and your back a few days later with the same issue.

I heard Hill Phoenix in LA is looking for guys!

I had a good one about 5 years ago!! So I get a call from a journeyman ( I was just a low level apprentice) to pick up 1000# R-22 and bring it to him! The system was 100% flat, this was an old whip...

You sure the rack being sub cooled has enough gas?? If the rack is short you wont get temp. Also what about the rack that is feeding the subcooler, is it short on gas??

Did you pump it down and check all the TXV strainers?

What's the store humidity?

Service case should not have a liquid line sol anyways, they should have a suction stop using a t-stat and also have an epr on line up. I also try to set the defrost time to when they are loading the...

I have to deal with cleaning the Tyler cases that Costco uses for there deli islands about every 8 months. The face of the coils plug up 100% due to the fin spacing for energy.

I just got one and I think my office said they were in the $270 range.

Southern California sucks, I wish about 3 "large" companies would fold.... But that won't happen because they charge dirt to do the work. I do love to go and read the log books and see someone there...

I close the suction and oil line and I have never ever had a problem. The only time I close the discharge line is when I completely pump the comp out.

Did you really say the best training??

There is going to be lots of work in the future doing retrofits on the racks.

I thought they were a insect company....

Double the price now from this past Monday.... Poor companies with all these supermarket contracts!!!

Our price will be double by Tomorrow am from what I paid on monday... Feel bad for the companies that have contracts with supermarkets!!!

We have a rack at a Costco with it. From what I was told they put them on racks with bitzers to gain a higher warranty period. What I know about them is it removes liquid that's coming back into the...

Sikaflex (not sure on spelling) is what we use and it does wonders. All of our non-mechanical guys use it for everything.

I know there is a new Target store in Orange County that just put in a CO2 store by another contractor. Hill-Phoenix installed a Whole Foods in the valley with CO2, I have yet to see one but I'm...

Ya sorry, but i perfer to work in the nice clean machine rooms and not the junk from that time period... Call me a snob but thats me and thats how i do it...

I work in newer stores for the most part. We do have a few junk stores but I try and stay out of them....

Nope I only go to LA for a store survey once in a great while. If it's west of the 605 I'd rather go home.... My office knows to send me to palm desert rather then LA or the valley....

In my 10 years IV never worked on a belt driven or tandem compressor. I guess living in the OC is a good thing!

Good luck with prints, since it's that old every Tom dick and Harry has hacked it up I would assume.

When it is in "med" mode it switches the binary point and it should be set for 37 OFS and the main set point should be set at -15 giving you a 22 setpoint. Normally I have them with a 6 diff and it...

Sounds like your company is screwing you... We pay our brand new guys around $15 to start. 1st year apprentice makes $18 and each year u get $3.30 raise.

Making a 100k is easy in refrigeration.

Contracts suck period.....

Had a Costco with the same problem, was doing my AQMD 2 years later and had a small leak and when I looked I couldn't believe it!

I agree... Its just a fourm and if someone post something that seems wrong move on to the next post. We are all here to try and help people....

I also heard 2 big wigs from Emerson bought them with the backing of an investment company. Also heard the "Hussmann" logo will be off every van by the end of the month...

Southern California trane is non union and southern California Hussmann is union. This should be interesting, I feel bad for those guys to see what's going to happen.

Well I went thru the 5 year apprenticeship at local 250. In my opinion it's better to work as a tradesman for a year or so to see if your going to like it. My first year in the program we had 3 guys...

For me I have to give an hour each way, then after that I can start billing..

I took it about 2 years ago, there was not much of a refrigeration class for it so I said the he'll with it, took it and got 93%. All I can say is read each question very carefully...

They already own them and put them up for sale. I heard Emerson was interested.

Anybody know who bought Hussmann? I was told they were sold and north America service and construction was not part of the deal....

Just filled up the van this morning $129 for 34 gallons.... I'm sure soon we will start charging a "Fuel surcharge" like we did 2 years ago.

I work for Hill Phoenix in southern CA and I'm always busy. My main stores are Costco, Ralphs, Trader Joes and some independent markets. I see everything from old Scott polar racks to envirogaurd...

Iv changed over a dozen in my career. Hussmann built several racks with them and they were never designed to be a low temp R-22. We even went and retrofitted them and it helped but still see...

Fit and finish is not that great. A lot of customers are using kysor Warren these days...

I have ran into something similar on a WIC without a TC, I added one and the problem was solved. If it's a high traffic box with alot of humidity in the area I would do 6 x 30 or just the normal 4 x...

Iv done a few and they are very easy. My first impression was these are going to suck but after you get the set screws loose they slid right off.

Hi all my name is Scott, I work at Hill-Phoenix in Brea Ca. Started at Tyler in 2001 and then Hill bought us out in May of 09. Went thru the JJATC local 250 apprenticeship and turned out in sep of...
