Had this one unit a couple of years ago that was an interesting call. Met resistance with my diagnoses, but stood firm with my employer and others.

It was a strange office. More triangular than...

You've got ten units over your bedroom(s). That totally sucks!

If I were you, I'd probably probably get a six pack and a comfortable chair and spend some time on that roof.

Look to figure out...

I was going to post to Artrose that when questions are asked about TAB, and Wayne answers, Listen.

If you do not listen, it's not on Wayne !!

LOL. But it seems things are moving forward . . .

Reminds me of a city library a long time ago. Maybe 25 yrs ago, so some details are fuzzy, other points were so wild, memory is perfect.

We had a few calls for other 'local' city buildings. When I...

Maybe it is doing what it's supposed to do. Get the appropriate test equipment to monitor the supply air pressure and temperature.

On a bit of a side note, I had an Intelipak that was running...

Yeah, it was about a week ago I also stopped receiving notifications.

I just checked, last notification was Jan 16, it just feels like a week.

They sort of go hand-in-hand.

Books.

Books. What is/are a book?

Is this something I can download from the World Wide InterWeb? After all, I need it now. I mean, I needed it yesterday. Can I download it into my brain?

Just don't ever tell them you are thinking about striking out on your own.

Regarding you learning refrigeration, there is a lot more to it than doing A/C work. Best to learn refrigeration as early...

I have not laid much tile, but what I did turned out real nice. Probably because I took my time doing it. Yeah, grouting is the worst part!

And she's cute. Which is important for a career in the public view.

Here's the version by Disturbed. Very powerful. Need headphones to really pump it up:

You know what is weird about this vid? Is the name "Disturbed" in the title. Like this girl heard the version by Disturbed, but not necessarily the original version by Simon and Garfunkel.

I...

We should ask the OP what his family of HVAC techs does in this case. Maybe he could write an app to solve this problem. By the way, looks like the OP is a one hit wonder.

"Judy in the skies . . . with glasses"

At least that's what I thought they were singing when I was a kid, LOL

In my area(s), you have to meet the inspector in person when he/she does the inspection. They won't even enter the building if you're not on site to let them in and guide them around. And, of course,...

They put a sticker on the outside of the box now. You want series six (I think it is) or later. Do not buy any T6's that do not have that sticker saying series 6.

Sounds like you have lots of problems. Maybe you are primarily residential? Haven't seen anywhere near the problems you mention in commercial; maybe because commercial is more concerned about getting...

Yeah, something seems to be amiss with the OP.

I think the size is/was the biggest feature.

I don't do load calcs or size equipment, never have, except in school before I was in the field. All I do is service work and repairs, minor install when pneumatics are involved, and some fill in...

I don't know the numbers, Wayne could probably chime in here, but I'm guessing a few hundred CFM's could easily equal a ton of heating or cooling when the temps are at their extremes. When temps are...

Who you talking to? If me, then the answer to your XXX question is the image below:

I really don't get this. A few hundred CFM is a ton of refrigeration. The difference between a 2 ton and a 3 ton system; 50% over sized. And you say that is insignificant. Obviously, I don't...

I enjoy the work. Fixing things, taking things apart, putting them back together. The business end and the paperwork, not so much.

Haven't seen anything close in the past several decades. But I keep looking. Did I say I'm not a voyeur? LOL


I was trying to remember my best moment. Had a lot of them. Then just remembered on...

And yes, as a child I saw tears in the eyes of my father as he received rejection letter after rejection letter for being over qualified for a position.

Okay, I got one for y'all. My story started before my story started. Let me explain. This is where I came from. Before I was here. LOL

Cleaning out stuff and ran across this article a guy wrote...

Thanks. Haven't seen any around where I live, don't have a clue if they are being put in the newer tight homes or not.

I'm not gonna roll in adult reading glasses, just sounds wrong to me. There might be an adult out there that needs them to read a sentence backwards.

I'm guessing you mean you miss Marc, yeah,...

Rock and Roll? White guys aren't into rock and roll?

Remember, the code was written in blood. As Timebuilder reminded us one time.

You could heat a decent house with that baby!

I know that song!

How do you setup for a blower door test? Specifically, my house has a bath exhaust, kitchen exhaust, dryer vent, and a mail slot in the front door that never seems to shut completely (probably should...

I'm upper, upper class high society
God's gift to ballroom notoriety
And I always fill my ballroom
The event is never small
All the social papers...

So, you have a sensitive stink, you lack toes, and you abandon tissues, then go on the offensive with Mark . . .

Poor Mark.

Type Y ?

Let's see, didn't he have the Type X, S, and what else? Now Y. Getting close to spelling Sexy. Is this a private joke of his?

Pretty sure it's a joke, and a pretty good one at that! Don't you remember those light bulbs that had a little wire in them that put out heat as well as light?

I'm guessing the ERV is an energy recovery ventilator? I studied up on them when I first got into the trade, which would be almost 40 years ago. Back then they were called HRV for heat recovery...

Seems like sick building syndrome was all the rage when tight houses began to come on the scene. Formaldehyde outgassing from new products like furniture, carpet, linoleum, engineered lumber, etc...

Wow, up to 20 times better than foam insulation. One thing that bothers me is where it says those panels will work for many years. I would think that when dealing with a house, you will want the...

The OP is probably talking about the defrost cycle. Go back and read the OP, I've never heard a heat pump go whoosh at the beginning of a cycle.

Once everyone has an electric car, then comes the EMP attack, and no one will be able to drive anywhere. Because the grid will be down.

Haha

Probably too much television when I was a kid. Not to mention all the weird news stories you hear these days, and I don't even watch the news.

If you put a gauge on each side, you'd probably get a 1.5 psig pressure drop. Seriously. My guess is that's about it. Done a lot of empirical testing on things like this. Need more fittings and...

My guess is insignificant. At least not enough to cause much of a measurable difference in efficiency.

It was over five years ago, so can't remember the location. Thinking I could look at the time stamp on the photo then look in my log book, maybe swing by sometime. See if it's still there. I can tell...

Yup. Pretty funny, huh?

Why wouldn't it?
