Turbo air is absolute crap and the company is run by a bunch of amateurs pretending to be professionals and know what the h**l they're doing. I have one customer that has a Turbo air and every...

That aint gonna work. You wont believe how much crap gets caught in there.

Why would they move the cap if they were stupid though, y'know?

Maybe their meter leads were too short to test the cap! lol

mind you the only thing i did to this unit before taking the picture was remove the cover and peel back the duct tape. Otherwise this is how i found it!

They called me to replace the condenser because the other guy they used to use told them to go pound sand-after giving them a round of BS about their walk-in box.

New customer. *sigh*

Man! I've been doing it wrong all this time! Think how many rooftop units we all installed fan up.

Nope, the PM company found it and has yet to give them a quote to replace it. I'm sending out my quote today. Yes, it's a Carrier.

I've replaced plenty of burnt up motors but this is the first that voided its bowels upon death.497081

I know for a fact that one of those companies are nothing but sales techs.

Looking for experienced HVAC/R tech's in Central NJ. Candidate must be reliable and knowledgeable. We do resi and light commercial HVAC as well as commercial refrigeration. We provide warranty...

It would've been like a cartoon-a puff of smoke in the shape of me and the sound of squealing tires.

I wonder if you still need to be put on the vehicle insurance if you were to only use your own car. Like if you drove to the job site to meet a tech since you would be a helper to start any way. I...

I'm sure companies have a ride-along program, question is, how long? You just need to not get comfortable being the ride along guy because that will get old quick. I'm on the board of a local campus...

Seems i'm missing a few rifles then.

GUILTY!

I love when the Staten Islanders come over and try to pump their own. Over here you cant even turn on the pump without an attendant card.

No worries. I don't think any employer will put someone fresh out of tech school into a truck on his own right away.

It seems you have a lot of fears and apprehensions about getting the field but...

If you have a service agreement, that may just mean they will come and service the unit twice a year and may include a reduced rate for any repairs. I would read it thoroughly and if you have any...

My mother is out there. I told her in jest one day that I should move out there and open up a company and she told me id go broke. She's about 20 min east of La Jolla and from what she says, they...

Isn't San Diego like 75º all the time? What kind of HVAC is out there?

Who's to say they weren't coming back for it?

At 00:59, there is a stack of wood by the driver's side outrigger that looks more like something a karate guy would break than something I would put under an outrigger. I sure hope that's not what it...

Damn! How big are the pigeons by you that they can steal two fan motors? I'd try not to piZz them off if I were you.

Jeez! How long did it take for you to get there?

The grid is probably in the bin. A little JB weld and you'll be back in business! :D

wtf indeed

Looks like Frosty got a little bit more excited than just a hug based on the sporadic frost pattern.

I wonder if the shaky handwriting is due to the caution sockets. looks like he went back a couple times to make sure they will indeed shock you.

That's usually my route as well. sometimes i'll also use a heat gun in the middle channel where there is no soft plastic to melt. I love how some people will say " we saw the ice on the outside...

I see a lot of 2-beeps with water cooled machines in the winter. The cold water drops the pressure, the expansion valve opens and feeds slightly causing the long harvest. Heard about some guys...

Unfortunately, no. Adjustments are not covered by warranty and a freeze-up requires a checklist and usually Hoshi will not cover the evap because the cause is 9 times out of 10 lack of maintenance.

If it's water cooled or the location it's in is cool, than you may want to think about turning the dip switches on the control board than lengthen the harvest on. I see this a lot out here-even on...

I read this and looked at my right hand which has a couple Hoshi ninja slices that I'm nursing. I still back Hoshi for longevity.

So mostly HVAC. What about refrigeration? Did they teach you anything about commercial refrigerators/freezers? Did they teach you to braze? What about troubleshooting?

You're going to have to wait until next year to apply at your local. (I believe you would be in 322 or 9). They give out the applications in a matter of hours on the first day and spend the rest of...

I know you shot this idea down but it looks like your 2 year old may be pulling the stuffing out of his diaper. My 3 year old did it and I couldn't figure it out until I saw him doing it and putting...

I had a customer on the phone with me beating the ice off a brand new KM-1301SWH I installed in August. I heard the telltale sound and asked "are you chipping the ice off with a hammer?" He said with...

9041087-03 was the IOM part number that helped me. That's the high temp safety. Try jumping it out like yaytech said and I betcha the sucker harvests.

That's how the OP is going to get all of the repairs the home needs done in one day.

Considering Tavares is out of Newark, I'm picturing that this job is in an apartment complex or old row house uptown and there's a few dozen more that looks like this.

Yep. That's the symptom. Then it will make another batch on top of it and eventually freeze up.

Ive had some IOM's shorten harvest due to a bad high temp switch. It would trip and go back into freeze.

you are correct, 15' minimum

Cant discuss prices here (see rules) but with respect to your question about adding central air later, I would suggest putting it all in one shot since the contractor will only have to make one duct...

A family of 5 goes through a lot of ice. We change over the ice pretty often.

I don't know man, I've had one for about a year now and it hasn't let me down. The wife wanted an ice machine and I wasn't about to spend the money for a Hoshizaki AM-50 when we are moving out of...

Nice oil trap in the ice machine lines!

Your compressor valves could also be shot, and pressures almost equalized. If my customer asked me to fix it, I would take a shot at it. Diagnose it and if it needs a compressor (sake of argument)...

No green slime?

I had a reach-in that had a compressor from 1963-64. The vibration isolator inside the shell broke so the compressor was up against the shell, vibrating. It sounded like a hammer drill but get...
