I've only heard of companies that work like this.
What happens when you go on a call; year old furnace, out on high limit, filter is just plugged?

20% of the diag. Sell them a flame sensor?

short in the defrost controls!

he was a glory hound, just wanted the attention for some book he is writing.

I've always gone by a 5% difference.

But we started stocking those Turbo multi caps. They are a lifesaver for techs.

what is it called?
are you gonna make a million dollars w/ it?
will you share the million w/ me?

seriously what are you trying to achive with the site? I'm quite handy with...

now THAT would be something to tune into.

This isn't going to "turn into" anyhing. I honestly don't relate to the fact that people can be fanatics about a radio personallity. It's just humor....

i gotta ask.

what do they play on the playboy channel?

ah yes stern. Never heard his radio shows. just his stuff on E and way back when he had a show on CBS circa 1987.

However i listen to...

What pisses me off is when a customer runs to the internet and looks up a price of an item I'm quoting a repair for. So when he discovers the $80 duel run cap can be purchased for only 20.

this thread was started in 2003?!?!

where in KC are you? did you mention what school you're in?

I do every call like there is a hidden camera watching me. i've seen too many news stories and seen too many people complain about getting shafted by the hvacman.

spent four hours on a rooftop doing start ups on about 28 units. i was punchy toward the end. 99° on that roof and it's gonna be hotter in a few days.

We've been hit with some rain too, so it is thick enough to cut in the morning.
What i hate is when I'm writing a ticket and a big pool of sweat hits the clipboard and messes up my writing. i know...

Actually Loveland and Ft Collins have been the meter that we've been judging everything else against. when we first started talking about this Loveland was the first choice. the move fell to the...

Forecast for monday and tuesday next week (17th-18th) is in the 100's. 99s through the weekend. All I know is with the recent storms and this heat it is thick thick thick outside.

theres a lot of house for sale in my price range. nice old houses too. Can't find much info on the town itself.

I just have to ask this. Why are condensing units on roofs out in the dessert? Or wherever it is you guys work. I was just looking at some pics of homes in SW colorado and noticed they too have units...

What can anyone tell me about the field in Colorado? Looking at CO as a possible move in the near future.

i cursed the oilers last night, it's all my fault
I was watching game 7 last night. Trying to support old time hockey i was rooting for the Oilers. I went to the store and bought some Molson...

that $hit is hot now. That type of music will sell out all age venues. the kids go wild for it. just make sure they got a ton of merch to sell and not to look at the band as a "future".

Just like they said above, Sea Foam. Your car will make some noises, thing will pop, you will see smoke. But it will clean out the fuel ciruit.

I had a guy who wanted me to work for him. We went through the same school at the same time. He was already running a appliance repair co. Busy as hell with that and he wanted to branch into hvac. so...

Thanks for the info on the testing. I still have to build on my base knowledge, but I'm just looking toward the future. I'm at a good company now and I'm getting my hands into everything cept large...

it wasn't pretty but it was a win. Go oilers!!!

belts, they have the best selection of belts at least the one here does.

i pray it's canadian. i think they just need a win. with the NHL branching into the desert we need some "winter" teans to win.

Ok, I have a hard time believing ALL the contractors that i see pop up each summer have a master mech cert. Maybe it's just me, maybe when i have to go into a "we'll sell to anyone" supply house, all...

oh and you'll need to buy a new lowside for your gauge. You put your low side on the standard suction line. I've wrecked 2 that way (note to self: get down and look where you are hooking up the hose)

I just had one over a month ago. Scrotal bruising is a scary sight. About the only thing that hurts is the numbing shot. The rest of the time you are just making ackword conversation while your penis...
