You might think that, but it's not exactly the case, at least in Denver. PBG (Pepsi Bottling Group)doesn't let even the top techs (of which I was one) get near refrigeration service equipment. ...

Yep....:yes:

It took a lot of restraint for me to NOT make an off color comment here!;):D

Mine can..........

I just got started geocaching in May when the wife and kids bought me a DeLorme PN-20 for fathers day and gave it to me early. It's good fun when they join me, we have a blast! I originally wanted...

I believe Ideal and Fieldpiece are made by the same company. I have a Fieldpiece SC77, shortly after buying it Fluke rolled out the 902. I wish I had waited.

They're good meters but I think I...

Sorry, this isn't a DIY site. My answer would be to call a service company.

David, do you do A/C for a living or do you just want to check you own unit to satisfy your curiosity?

Yes, I do as a matter of fact. You just wouldn't like the answer.

A thermometer?

Saunders & Johnson is a good company for resi work (I'm on the commercial end of the field so no resi for me, yay!), in fact it was that company that made me choose this career. I hired them to...

Call around and get a few more estimates then compare the bids. As far as I know, even "ballpark" pricing isn't allowed.

Best of luck to you.;)

You pick up the phone and call a contractor. This isn't a DIY site.

Party pooper:p

If you don't know when to replace it, why even bother checking it in the first place?

Yes, hire a professional to do the job. This is not a DIY site.

Well, I figure I'll just hijack and post here. I just got the call, boiler down and building cold. Wouldn't you know it. Typical for October though.............wait,,,,,,,,,,,,ITS STILL...

Not much info to go on there, stud. What did the tech tell you?

So, exactly what kind of help did you need? Or were you just looking to vent your frustrations?

Also, "coal pipe?"

When I was in automotive tech school, I hated working on a/c and swore I'd never do it. Who'd have guessed, now I work on A/C all day but hate the thought of even changing the oil in my truck!

I've dealt with both. Where I'm at now, I supply my hand tools and they supply the big stuff. We keep a running inventory with the office and as tools are broken or lost, they get replaced at no...

Yep, you'd be surprised how a little thing like a cold beverage on a hot day can improve relations with a tech that you want to question.

.......

Yep, so many trolls, so few troll stompers. "My A/C doesn't work the way I thought it should, 15 YEARS AGO!! BoooHooooooo:("

Yep, my thoughts exactly. I'd sell him a new system if he wanted, but c'mon, 15 YEARS!?!?! He got his moneys worth.

We need to get together for a beer, or maybe shooting at Cherry Creek State Park. You shoot trap?

We're always looking for more hunters, Just none of us drew a tag this Year! I drew a deer tag for muzzle loading and my antelope in WY and thats it. Not enough time to even look at leftover tags. ...

Exactly, and it has NOTHING to do with my profession. The last thing I want to do with my free time is FIX MY OWN A/C!!!

What area do you hunt?

holy....................CRAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :eek::eek::eek::eek:

I've seen many derailed Tranes around my own home, yet my Amana continues to run strong..........................

I do, but didn't draw a tag this year. However, I have a great antelope hunt in WY this year (Lucky ME)!

Well, if you ultimately hired these guys and signed off on the work (general contractor), then YOU are to blame. 15 years, sheesh. Its time to replace the system already..............

Still..............30:1 is a good ratio for jobs like that.

Agreed, I get to spend my day in a boiler room tomorrow. :( Downtown sucks even worse, I feel your pain, Bro.

Hey Spotts, I'm looking at coming up on the 16th for at least most of the day (work permitting) Got room for a last minute addition to the bunch??

I LOVE THIS STATE!!! Single parkrangerets notwithstanding!:D

Yep Frank, we're all laughing our butts off over this one. You just never thought we'd be luaghing AT you, did you?:D:p

Way to post it on the net, that'll teach 'em!

Hehehe, my statement was tongue-in-cheek. I've got too much work as it is.;) Besides, you've already called a tech out, I don't wanna step on his toes.

I can get there twice as fast, but it would cost four times as much!:D

When you can look at an old beat up cooler that some other guy fixed up and it brings a tear to your eye. God bless the beer cooler!

You owe me for the cleaning of one monitor and keyboard!!

Oh, and jamesk, FIRE HIM!!!

A few changes...............:D

Funny!! Out of that wall of words, I picked up on HOOTERS and TWIN 24 YEAR OLD DAUGHTERS. It's a character flaw I guess.:D

So exactly who is it that says that?? Other than the "Brady Bunch", that is.

Let's see, I've seen em on condenser water pumps, relief fans, cooling tower fans, AHU supply fans, etc..........................but I don't do residential so I've never seen em there!:p
No issues...

I don't think I'd trust a "professional" that can't source the required parts. Somethings fishy...................:rolleyes:

It is a book for residential load calculations. 1st hit on google when I entered it. You can also look at the top of this page for a link to HVAC calc. there is a homeowners special for doing a...
