    yes we did

    We had the pleasure of reinstalling/replacing all 5 units inside this condenser court, and I'm sure we got the customer back for good. I have after pics some where, I'm going through my old iphone and posting some pics for all to enjoy, God knows I've used enough of everyone else WOS pics for training.

    Its ALWAYS a great day when you get multiple installs, gain the trust, respect, and confidence from a new client. But most importantly, taking one more customer from a sub par company pushing them one step closer to the brink of extinction. Nice work today, enjoy your weekend.

    Is that a disconnect behind the disconnect ?

    I think it was a disco, now probably a junction box from lack of access. Old one must have been a lot shorter.

    That's probably the disconnect to the Carrier unit to the right!

    They'll have to do the work on it "hot."

    I think the condenser said a bad word so it was put in the corner for a time out.
    Every customer you take for granted today will be someone else's tomorrow.

    WTF,omg,lol!!!! They were just stored there right? Not actually working right? Come on, you are pulling my leg. We have a few accounts where the customer has other contractors(friends) do installs instead of us. Call us unit does not work. Wrong voltage,Never started unit,Tried to start with nitrogen still in it,forgot to open refer valves on condensing unit. All same customer ,different installs by same contractor. He gets what he deserves.
    You need to put the phone down and get back to work!

    Seems to me nobody is learning because they keep calling them back. On the roof the other day was a nice shiny new sanyo condenser sitting on two roof rails setting directly on a rubber roof. The rails were pitched about 20 degrees and they set the unit on the same angle. WTF. Unit does not run. I ask why did you not call them back he says they are installation not service. UGH!!
