Easy fix don't worry yourself

That is the reason I use resistors as well. Got burnt on my first job for bt485 not having power to it. Like Dracula said check the end of the line bt485's. And check your diag. since you are using...

I recently switched to controls from mechanic. I took a hit in pay just to get into controls but im at 45k with no controls experience but 6+ years mechanic. My company pays our techs 65-90k with 5+...

yeah I have been waiting for these combo sensors. What a pain it has been to have 70 vavs on a site and each of them has temp,co2 and RH! Long awaited sensors!

I will give my opinion since I went through school about 5 or so years ago. We started with a group of about 35 people and dropped 5 before theory was done in a month. Now most of these people some...

I have a set of fieldpiece Sman3's and LOVE THEM. They work great although I don't get to use them much now since I switched to controls. :whistle:

Hey Troy, welcome to the site... Lots of useful information here. Not many of us Florida folks though. I am in Palm Beach where are you?

Right out of school here in south Florida I got $17 per hour but I had some install experience before I started schooling. Sell yourself and prove your worth. I know many companies that start guys...

I interviewed for a controls position and got it in December. Basically I was honest told them I have been a mechanic for the last 6 years and have dabbled with DDC when I have needed to. Although my...

take what they offer you to learn

Where to go? That's easy, some where affordable and tropical... Florida it is. See ya soon! Just search for schools or unions that you want to join and see where they are located then make your best...

Good luck on the new job. I started my new controls job on the 2nd and I can relate to the nerves you get before you start. But 2 and a half weeks later and its all smooth sailing with tons of new...

I am sure you could do our trade. But like others have said... you have to want to do it. And you will earn your living. Be prepared to study all the time. I just recently switched from mechanic to...

We use the atomic clock with ALC. Works well turns lights on at our school systems on 15 min before sun set and turns off 15 after sun rise

be positive and motivated. Don't bring up money until they do.

I have been a HVAC Tech for 6 years now and I just made the switch to Controls (actually I start next week) and I am above 20 per hour and don't have a lot of DDC experience. But I have considerable...

I am further south than Tampa but there is work down here in Florida, if you are willing to work for almost nothing for a while then gain some experience and respect. Always a need for good mechanics...

Yeah I can almost guarantee if you have no experience in the field you wont see 20-25 for at least 3 maybe 4 years if you join the union. And probably even longer if you go non union. Not sure what...

I am in Jupiter but I never travel passed Boca Raton. There aren't a lot of us Florida folks on here. There may be some on here and they will chime in when they see it.

That's good I am glad you found someone if for any reason you may need to talk to a local guy let me know I am a contractor up here in west palm beach... Only about 45 minutes north of you.

Yeah I am here in south Florida as well. Your best bet is to get through 725. To get training and experience on chillers down here you almost have to be union. If you get in I know lots of guys at...

yeah it is good to see some southerners. I am in west palm beach. :cheers:

As for a brand I prefer Rheem/Ruud over American Standard. Other people will have their opinions as well but that is the brand I install.

Check this out guys. For you contractors get in touch with one of your local distributors and become a certified installer. I am in the process of becoming one. I went through Gemaire Distributors to...

I have several jugs of R12. Some for sale too!
