Joshua, it's your neighbor Ray that bought the g5 twin...glad you found the place! :cheers:

You can't "rent" a license in Florida.

Is this still for sale?

Is this still for sale?

In Florida, you would need at least 8 years practical field experience to be able to pass the test for State Certified Contractor...I said PASS. You could theoretically TAKE the test if you had...

Location would help.

If you are a Tech in a busy resi company, and you were taught properly, you go into a service call or a maintenance with the mindset that you are there to find any and all problems or potential...

Hmmm, $500 for a permit? That would be worthwhile if I could look at the install first.

Last I checked a few years ago it was 1200-2000/month. Not sure now.

Low loss fittings fail regularly, get some short hoses with ball valves.

Where in Texas? I was at Ft Bliss/El Paso for awhile and Ft Hood for 3 years. Also have family in Richardson.

I just ordered these for when my o rings fail. $8 at Mcmaster-Carr. These are for the 550, might want to verify the 557 stems are the same.

I've been using the same 550 for 2 1/2 years with no knob issues. I did have to send them back about 2 years ago for an internal leak, which they repaired under warranty. No problems since, but I do...

It's available on Amazon in a few different configurations.

If they tell you how, or when to do your job, you are an employee. If your state requires contractor licensing for the work you do, you can't be a 1099 employee if you do not have that license. Start...

It's not a Carrier, Amana, Trane, Rheem issue. It's the motor manufacturer.

There is really no need for a mega flow in most residential systems. I can achieve a 500 micron reading with a single 3/8" hose on a new system with new copper in less than 20 minutes. There is a...

I use the original Bluvac, had awesome customer service from Joey D when I had to send it in after it was stuck in a monsoon in south Florida last year, he fixed it and sent it back within a week! I...

I do mostly resi now, but I have everything I need in an MB bag and Testo 550 case, along with a Milwaukee M12 fuel clipped to my belt. I'm getting old, I like to travel light. I still have an...

It looks cheaply made, but then again it's $100, not $275. Let us know about the quality. Made in China I assume?

How long are you letting it heat up?

I use this one for service work and love it.

Pretty, but I can't understand why you are taking all that time polishing them? Seems to me a mirror smooth surface would be harder to seal. Cylinder head ports I get, this I don't.

I think I said that already.....Oh, wait. I DID!

It is however, just a package unit.

Call Stryker Electric & Air, Tell them Ray referred you. ( 772 ) 219-3389.

The most basic AND most important skill to learn in this field involves ducts. Without proper airflow and static pressure, you can't charge a system correctly. Do yourself a favor and learn that...

I can't believe I read all that. I started at the bottom 24 years ago doing oil burner furnace clean outs after graduating from a 1200 hr full time HVAC course. I Moved to Florida and advanced to...

LL filter drier should be as close to the metering device as possible. It's primary function is to prevent debris from entering the expansion valve or orifice. We always put them at the air handler...

GE. Nuff said.

Way back when, I saw a fan motor run backwards from the factory because the leads were reversed, that was a head scratcher for a bit.

Compressor wouldn't start let alone run on a 5mfd cap, Especially with a TXV.

10-11 is fine

C&D locking caps. They use a schrader core tool as pictured above.

I would buy your helper a good YJ analog set and a decent meter first. Let him learn to read the gauges first rather than the gauges tell him everything. The 550 has served me well for the time I...

Serial number/Date code is in the battery compartment. Sent mine in for repair and had them back within a week. Love the Testo 550.

Technology has advanced leaps and bounds since the thermal gauges were introduced. The Bluvac is THE standard in micron gauges, and their customer support is unparalleled. I won't use another micron...

Hands down the best and FASTEST customer service in the industry. Mine got soaked in a rain storm, I sent it in and got it back within 2 days like brand new! Granted, I am only an hour and a half...

Mine always shows other than zero when I remove my hoses. You need to zero before each use. I use mine daily.....got used to it.

If you raised the ceiling 2' and used the same size duct, that is probably part of your problem. Also, 3.5 ton for 1200 sq ft seems a bit oversized, was a a manual J and D performed on this space?

Big thanks to JoeyD for quick and pain free service. Got my Bluevac back within 2 days of sending it in, no questions asked. Core and Accutools have earned my repeat business!

The supco vg64 lives, the bluvac not so much. I changed the oil in the job platinum 3 times, disassembled both gauges and dried them out, the supco is reading 15 microns directly to the pump, the...

I've had the supco for 8 years or so, it works just as well as the bluvac. Not as accurate, but it does work.

Thanks, I'll try that next. I just put them in the fridge for awhile.

Both my Bluvac and Supco VG64 got soaked in a rain storm yesterday while up on a roof. Bluvac is reading error, VG64 is reading Temp out of range. I cleaned the sensors with alcohol, put them on the...

I get about 20' from mine and lose connection regardless where it hangs or sits.

Maybe I missed it...what was the suction pressure, head pressure, superheat, return and supply duct size, Compressor amp draw?

Bosch Bulldog SDS. I have been using it for 10 years, works great.
