So post #18 alluded me somehow.

What other repairs have you had made? And why ?

How much improvement does the landlord/management co do in house?

Hey there guy. I own rentals myself and I have some advice:

The landlord may have a good relationship with the contractor aand trust his opinion.
The landlord may or maynot understand that the...

:cheers:

Whaddaya mean you "recovered " my freon? Let me google the price so I know what to knock off your bill....:bump:

my first question wouldve been..... "sir /ma'am whens the last time you were in this unit?"

I can't speak for every set made but mine were rained on a time or two. Never ever dropped in a tub , but none the less wetted good.


And yes the freonical flux generrator popped off and fell in...

I imagine their tech meetingss were held by the sales mngr. Whose moto is "a missed call back is missed potential". :cheers:

If you are new to the trade you need more training.

Most techs have an ear for when a compessor doesn't start. :whistle:

Unplug the fan......:bump:

Or turn the unit upside down.:censored:


Or you could always call some one......:.02:

Be diligent and be straight forward when you tell the service manager that you love your wife and kids and value your life....... seriously :cliff:

Call your own HVAC company out. Expect to spend some cash here.

Forget the home warranty co. That's a fools game. Let them stick with washer ,dryer,dish washer repairs......

Now 3 things to...

Walter,
That makes me cringe. One of the worst shocks I've ever gotten was from a set-up similar to that. I was changing a compressor that another tech had found. I get on the roof and the...

If coming from compressor ...who cares?

If coming from contactor... guy has no reason to remain a tech.:gah:

Is that the one with the 360 dial and the lead plug-ins at the very top?

If so, that meter was the best one of all 5 feildpeice meters I carry.

I just don't have it in front of me to remember...

Mike I have one of those meters . Here's what I think.

Pros: it has a non contact voltage "sniffer", it reads temp and is accurate, it auto ranges very well

CONS: the wire clamp is too oblong...

So when you see liquid you throttle back the flow?

If so then its doing ecactly what it should.


Also try this , when reclaiming a system put it on the high side (I have the SMAN3 gauges )...

Go to walmart and buy a cheap fleece blanket . The thicker the better. Cut it up in to about five toseven strips that you can drape loosely over the back of your neck. Get a mid sized cooler and mix...

I freakin LOVE LOVE LOVE it. No doubt about it I just got home 3 min ago:gah:

But hey its Sunday and out of 11 calls I only left 1 not running (compressor is gone, run windings shorted ..) but...

Does anyone else use this attachment?

I'm begining to wish I had one along time ago.

It is an awesome addition to any guage set.

...

IMO & IME, check temp splits and amp draw. putting gauges on a unit in proper working order is unnecessary unless a problem is seen. also clean the coils every time. and recheck temp split and amp...

heck man ,
thats one of them new "vapour pressure transducing reducers" ........

mark , just judging by his drain-pipe work I would have to say WTF? was this guy doing messing with r-410a? wow, i wonder if some of his "research" involved this forum? *shudder* ^deep sigh^ ...

you would do good to go that route. it covers the tech for reasons beyond their control. ( like jobs where people call just to get estimates , then have the tech find the problem just to have "uncle...

john, alot of guys who never see the buisness end of the trade will not look for opritunities to upsell or sell period. they get a check , for the most part, whether the sell or not. but this...

:gah:

hold your horses before you go putting words in my mouth guy,
i pay for all training and have paid for my own as-well.

what i am saying is that its insane to NOT do it, ESPECIALLY if...

i go get this type of stuff , just because im willing to learn all i can about it while i can. im trying to figure out why someone wouldnt do it , especially if its paid for by the co. they work for.

:gah:

me , i will . cash . upfront. and first name only..... oh, wait thats what op's got . DANG! :whistle:

it shouldn't smell , it has no nose...........:angel:


j/k. it really should not have an odor unless there is still chemical left on the coil.

did you clean this yourself or pay for a...

once when i had a guy ask me to drive my truck to a job far away to get materials i told him no. i was in the same situation as you. the truck was in my driveway and nothing was wrong with it. i told...
