I transfered to NC in 1998 when I thought they were merging the 638A and 638B. I lost my pension transfering from 638B Metal Trades to Local 421 Building Trades. Every time they give...

Thank you for the replies. I researched jungle boots and it lead me to search high heat boots. I ordered some form of high heat jungle combat boots. They arrived today and I look forward to using...

When I lived on Long Island buying a pair of boots with good thinsulate was expensive and hard to find. Now that I live in North Carolina where it's hot it seems finding a pair of boots without...

"HI-Tech" was a good company doing large commercial I worked for up there. They'll start you out brushing tubes, cleaning strainers, rebuilding cooling towers. I couldn't handle the drive living in...

I heard R438a will have a 7% efficiency reduction.

I did residential one winter. The company wasn't as open as that. I did notice I'd arrive early Monday morning and the bosses attitude was like "Well it's Monday" as people drifted in around...

Figures...Our United Association Rep for Local 421 told us McQuay just signed on in another local during a meeting. Later I asked him the number and if I could transfer to it. He said yes. I...

Last month I heard from my United Association Local 421 that "McQuay" had just signed on with Local 275 in Miami Florida. I'm really hoping they sign on with us in the Carolinas. I'll jump in a...

I left long Island 14 years ago. I lived in suffolk county and could't take all that traffic. I say "Hi-Tech" was the best company I worked for. They do hire this time of year because they have a...

I'm getting suspended for stepping on the top step of a six foot ladder to get to the top two screws of a VAV box. OK, I'm in the wrong. I get that. But, to call me a Jackass and suspend me for...

I believe you are refering to the 30RA"P"
That setpoint was originally increased to 50%. As the prolem persist it was increased to 70%. However I found reducing the subcooling to work even better.

Where did he find the leak?

Carrier just lost three guys. A service manager, a forman and a tech. Could be considered an oportunity or warning.

I agree. If the refrigerant has to come out to repair a leak then change the Danfoss garbage txv to a sporlan or alco.

However, I suspect even though a leak can be a cause, I'd bet the real...

If they are "Carrier" the actual name should be something like "Carrier Building Systems and Services or Carrier Commercial Systems". Carrier Enterprise dealers get to have the blue oval on the...

Now that I reread, mine was semi-hermetic.

I had a 120 ton Trane chiller under contract. It had two tan recip compressors. One tag said "Service First" the other said "brainerd". One tore up and the other circuit flooded. I pulled out the...

Funny you should ask from Florida. The top guy from the Florida branch is now in control of the entire southeast and making alot of changes. He actually said the managers don't have to know...

I've been working for Carrier most of my career. The commpany has been going downhill since I started, but I've done well for myself doing startups and warranty. The last three years I feel like...
