Dont feel bad. It takes what it takes some times. Dont let anyone rush you. I know its taken me that long on some simple stuff just because access is a pain or trying to find the locaiton of the...

UA STAR isnt much different. other than it being 300 questions

I drove one at my last company. They are nice but that long nose they have from being a titan body is a huge draw back. Especially compared to a transit or really any other van. I twas a pain trying...

Just because you put a mop head on your rack mate doesnt make him a woman...

Happy Birthday Fellow Marines

Depends on your vendor. We just replaced a 550 that was having intermittent issues with talking to the bypass. They had the same model needed in their warehouse. This was less than a month ago.
...

I know the union does when you go in for the apprenticeship and every company I worked for did when first hired. Usually you only get tested after that if you get hurt and try to claim it. Personally...

what i mean is here in San Diego we have a Milwaukee store. I assume owned by milwaukee. It was there they said i needed a receipt.

Are the milwaukee store and milwaukee not the same?

no they wont. I had a 4AH m12 battery that was maybe 6 months old. The serial number even showed it was less than a year and they wouldn't replace it with out the receipt.

Ive had a job a few months ago. Needed more air from Exhaust fans, and two Make up air units (basically fresh air units for the building). Engineer said it wasnt his job to calculate what equipment...

Youre assuming that the equipment was propely sized and selected to begin with. If its one thing ive learned is that most engineers are lucky they can walk and talk at the same time.

personally Id check what the pressures were with each compressor running individually. Also you havent told us what the other compressor was drawing

is that with both running? it could draw 4 amps depending on how much HP the motor is and what voltage it is. whats the compressor information? I know copeland and tecumseh have mobile apps where you...

well what are your pressures when it runs alone?

Having done both the UA apprenticeship and a two year program at the community college. Id say i learned more of the science better at the community colelge and even learned stuff that wasnt covered...

you require them to buy all those things with their own money? Like the hand tools, meter, manifold, and impact/drill make sense. The rest you should provide. Hell my company gives me any power tools...

Then that must be all you have because the guys I’ve seen from your company are lucky they can turn on a computer.

Based on what Ive seen from Climatech, zero field experience, zero mechanical experience is required.

Is it iced up?

Been in many an argument with IT guys about what to set their "server" room ACs at. I say 70-72 is more than cool enough. But most of these guys think they have to be as cold as meat lockers or else...

So you made a new thread?

What?

Not necessarily I’ve chilled water lines in older buildings insulated like that. But in this case you’re likely right. Maybe put a thermometer into the insulation and measure the pipe to be sure if...

I thought they made a press fitting for stainless? I’ve seen the one for regular pipe used for gas. I don’t see why it wouldn’t work for gas on stainless. Contact the manufacturer

So like a courier for parts? We have a warehouse driver that we can use to pick up and deliver stuff for us. I've always thought about a supply house offering this service. Like a 1 hr delivery on...

I dont know about other locals but here they won't accept new HVAC apprentices into the program unless they are already sponsored by a contractor. For fitters and plumbers they will bring in a bunch...

LG makes one but it's only up to 5 tons. Which might work for this application. Personally I think the OP is better off contacting a commercial contractor. I live in San Diego and I can tell you the...

What brand is it? I know you can rebuild the appion ones.

What does it do?

I blame the jerks who must be using impacts to tighten control wire terminals. I’ve had to press down pretty hard on some so the screw wouldn’t strip.

Mine lasted about 2 weeks before the bits wouldn't lock in and would just sink into the shaft making it worthless for anything.

In my experience working in CA hospitals here in San Diego is that it depends on when it was built. I noticed the older air handlers in older buildings used plant steam for humidification. If they...

I did that once when I was a Helper. Thats how I learned about service valves. If you go to the doctor they will just give you burn cream with silver in it. I went a few hours after wards and the...

It runs off the engine RPM. It's driven by the serpentine belt.

Edit: misread your question. They have DC motors so it would stand that they can use DC compressors. Seems like they are electric...

I got rear ended in my van leaving a job like a year and a half ago. Launched everything off the shelves. Took forever to take everything out through the side door.

A lot less often than I should. I know where most everything is in my dumpster....i mean van. Lately with trying to get the house ready to sell, and a baby on the way, and having to do constant...

I dont get joining the military only to be a blue falcon. But hey to each their own.

Some times I do, sometimes i dont. I can be called to take a call on base and id rather not have to deal with a bunch of retarded MPs

I think Hussman in San Diego is Union but they may just run their guys out from the LA branch. I think one of the instructors at our training center works for or worked for them.

I think Hussmann is union in some places an non union in others. Kind of like Trane. So maybe some of the guys at the Colorado branch want to join the UA or something.

Goettl is in OC and LA as well. When I worked up there I'd hear their ads. According to them if your unit is over 11 years old its time to replace it.

I agree. When I started in residential all they harped what selling or "advising" the customer more shit. Even the technical training was mostly just to spot little shit to sell them that service. I...

Well you figure that on average 8 hours of labor costs about $1000 to the client. I know everywhere Ive worked thats about the average. With the current place being about 1100 or 1200 depending on if...

I cant speak as to the load but i can speak as to the application. you're gonna need something to catch the hair. other than the filter in the unit. Maybe a Pre filter and final filter set up, with...

That's obviously a possibility when in between large buildings, so why not pick the units from a more open area and carry them to the roof of the building?
granted I don't know where exactly they...

Sales guys that underbid jobs because they dont know what it will actually take to get the job done...though ive only had that happen a few times

It would likley be something an individual client would request if the filters have to be taken through the building, but its unlikely that it would be mandated by governments because there is no way...

I think they run about $180 but are fairly reliable and easy to add air temp sensors to. may be cheaper now. I installed some at a GOVT building a few years ago and had no issues on the ones I...

Wierd that LG would specify a unshielded wire for their mini splits but for the VRF its 18ga 2 conductor, stranded, shielded, twisted.

Chess is more pattern recogniton. You recognize the pattern your opponent is creating and you counter. after a while its not so much thinking but just reacting and knowing your next few moves and...
