The site has my license #. I dont want all eyes to see it because I dont trust the internet.
What is happening here guy's? Seems the past few weeks,& day's there has been alot of bashing others posts and the info,then it leads to name calling. It is like we are trying to out do the other who may have posted ahead of the other, alot of bad blood here also I see. People want to be a cheif when they are just an indian, This isnt our site and I only see two (2) moderators whom are B-C1 and Boss. This is a place for techs,and business owners to come relax and learn a little more. It is a place to come meet pthers in the same field and with the same interests. It is a place where home owners can come and get some idea of what is on the market,it also is a place for home owners to ask what may be the problem with their unit. Have we all forgotten that the homeowner pays our wage or salary? Have we forgotten the ethics of consideration of others. If we are so profesional why do we hide our CREDENTIALS? Sure mine is hidden because it was my choice and will be public soon. Some of you all seen my web site and that is the reason it is hidden at this time.You could be losing out on a service call or change out by hiding your info.I say the same for homeowners also,fill out your profile. Lets lighten up some guy's. This is not romper room or our private little playground. Cant we all get along????/

We hide all of our info because we're afraid Dice will show up on our doorsteps...
Far to many HVAC guys put the beauty shop industry to shame in the back stabbing yakking dept if you ask me.

How tall are you Private???!!!!
I dont know about all states, but in Oklahoma a contractor is required to have his information on his truck, including license number. I dont know how the Internet presents any security risk that could not be taken off of your truck. And, most of us have accounts an every supply house in the state.

I agree fixit50 here in fl every parts house or customer i go to you here someone badmouthing another contractor or the homeowner saying how hard it is to trust hvac compamies because of all the badmouthing,backstabbing they hear from, contractor's,service techs,salesmen or installers they've dealt w/. if people think that talking bad about other trademen in front of people makes you look good you are a complete idiot. respect is something some people in this trade should learn. if you want respect give it,or at least try not to make are trade like a bunch of uneducated rednecks...
dice is coming and bringing the goat!!!!! get along.
my credentials are hidden to protect both me and my company. any and all statements made by me are just that, MY statements, and may not represent the policy of my company. by hiding my creds, i am free to speak my mind without any regard to anyone else.
i wanted to put a picture here
I agree, there seems to be a lot of bashing for no apparent reason. We should all try to work together, get along and respect each other.
I love you guys
I agree fixit, and I too have gotten a little heated in some of my posts. I think we all need to remember that each State has it's own set of codes, and each contractor has their own way of doing things. What works for some may not work for others. I'm sorry if I started any fires or stepped on any toes. Think I'm gonna read more and post less.

some people need it freedom of speech just kidding lol
I chose not to register in the professional member section, being a regular member is ok with me. I do not want my credentials viewed because I work for a Texas company but reside in Louisiana and am the sole Louisiana mechanical license holder so we can bid on jobs here in the Bayou state. My company treats me very well.
All I can say is that I will not bash anyone unless I am bashed first.
Ain't nun of us prefict, and as someone stated before, we are here to help each other.
We all live in differant parts of this great United states. We voice our own opinions of products, ways of life but the trying to beat up on each other has got to come to a halt. Yes I stand in the supply houses listining to other techs,owners.and others talk about bad owners,tech's and homeowners. No this dont make you look high and mighty.It honestly makes you a fool. My credentials are this. i spent my time in the U.S/Army.Active duty. For 10 years till I was hurt. I then opened my own HVAC company with no money only by my wife and myself.I built up a very very large company untill I sold out to a very good offer at the time to a well know service company nationwide. I took that money and invested in property, some luxury items and some very wise investments. I now opened a supply house (yes supply house) I deal with homeowners and service companies on a dailey basis. I have over 25 years in this field,I am no small chicken and wasnt hatched. I was taught the hard way with blood and gut's. We all need to be thankfull that there is a site like this where we can all come realx enjoy and learn some new things. Listen to the homeowners and you will learn what they want out of the service,new install and everything else that goes. I dont want no smart a#$ in my home and I bet neither do you. It is time to enjoy life and dont worry about the curves it should throw to you. If you feel bashed. Just dont reply back let em be a real man and show his true colors. Have fun ya'all this is what it is all about. Isnt it?
Don't sweat the petty stuff and don't pet the sweaty stuff.
Now what about a big group hug!

Most new people to this site think we have had a rash of temper tantrums lately.....It's been like this for a couple years that I know of. It usually blows over quickly... unless you keep pushing someones' buttons... Remember, it takes two people to argue... or was that for something else ???
Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone.
