Are you sure you want to do that. Propane is one of the most expensive ways to heat your home by far.

Are you sure you want to do that. Propane is one of the most expensive ways to heat your home by far.
I was a dealer for York until 2015 when all the sudden they doubled their pricing on equipment. As a result all the dealers in the Seattle area ran away the only dealer left is at least 100 miles...
It's funny how around here in the Seattle area companies are literally paying double for Mitsubishi equipment and I still have no idea why. I'm making a fortune selling the Midea product line and I...
The most cost effective products are the ones that are NOT rebranded and marked up. Carrier, and now Bosch are both using Midea inverter ductless units. They both import Media's product and put...
I've personally installed over 100 york systems. I was a dealer for York up until 2015. All my systems are still working great. The only reason I left York was because they drastically increased...
I posted a thread called "Affordable Press Tools" and it's mainly about the Zupper tools. You could buy the Zupper EB1550 for around a grand now and it's a very solid press tool with a brushless...
I just saw this:
...
That machine is huge and requires water and doesn't just plug into a 120v outlet. I looked into this years ago and it's just not practical.
I had a buddy who was a political prisoner in China during is time in prison he was forced to work in a factory making Christmas lights. He said he had a good attitude about it because he knew...
I just looked at that.
It's an upgrade from the PZ-1550 which is a lot more like the Milwaukee M18 press tool. Can't speak to it's reliability.
My larger press tool is simular to the...
You'll need to provide a lot more information. What was the actual temperature rise before and what was it now. Have you checked the burner and performed a combusion analysis?
Well lets not guess and here's the facts:
My compact unit works with the Zupper viega jaws perfectly.
My EB-1550 fits my Ridgid 1/2- 2" viega jaws, and also handles my Mega Press and my...
I just looked at Amazon and I see it now. 900 bucks is fair and it looks like zupper is selling directly through the Amazon site now. You can see it takes a while to come in but its well worth the...
I don't know about Amazon but I've always ordered directly from Zupper through the Alibaba site. Some pointers you'll need to keep in mind is to specifically ask for DHL shipping because they...
Good luck with it. Any later if you find you made a mistake try to be honest about it. That's the only way all of us learn and get better at our craft :)
Sure James :)
I've been using the compact press tool for 3 years now. It works PERECTLY and I have no complaints. I paid about $1100 including shipping to get the 1/2 -1" VUS jaws and the...
Since I'm a smaller shop I can get away with a cost free method. I wouldn't suggest this is your running many trucks.
I found a really nice invoice template on Microsoft and I had a friend add...
My best suggestion would be to open the manual for the unit you want to install. It'll have a list of approved configurations and talk about the minimum number of heads you can use.
My best advice is to find out WHY there is mold. It's important to not only clean it but resolve the root cause as well. Good Luck
Red please post the EXACT manufacturer and model of the units that are giving you trouble. Please don't lump ALL generic brands into the exact same bucket. The problems with that kind of reasoning...
I've installed almost every brand out there and I'm sure CH is the same as everyone else's stuff. If you install it by the book it'll work well and go a good 15 years. I've been installing a lot of...
You know in this day and age when a lot of folks can't afford food I'm not going to spend this kind of money on a bender if it doesn't even improve the overall quality of my work. Everyone's right...
FYI the Carrier unit is made by Midea. You'll pay twice as much for it because it has the Carrier logo than if you just bought it through Midea directly. I know there's a couple online stores that...
My deductable has always been around 5K per person and 10K per family. That has never changed for me.
I'm not sure why your premiums went up 400%. That's a lot. I had 2 more kids in the last 10 years and overall my premiums went from $490 per month to $1180.00 per month. Again my family went from...
I've seen jobs were the installer cut the lineset too short. It caused the indoor unit to cycle the air speed up and down. I got to be the one to relay the bad news that the install wasn't right...
Your emails are in the same place as the Red Cross 9/11 relief funds ;) Sorry Dude
Wow I make literally 7x that per hour and I don't have to be on call. I'll admit I have no insurance but these days insurance policies are of almost no value anyway...
I'm not sold on them myself. I still use media air cleaners and a good UV light system. It's tried and true and easy to maintain.
Wow I used that same drain cleaner at my first job 20 years ago. Back then I worked at a facility Engineer for a college with 3 high pressure steam boilers. Of course I went around and did other...
It seems like all manufacturers are charging a fortune these days for their equipment. But if you want a good product at a reasonable price by today's standards my suggestion would be to take a good...
I guess you could say there are good quality customers and bad one's too. I've shared a few stories on this site about nightmare customers I had in the past. But over time I was able to read...
I personally don't have that problem because I engineer and install all the equipment myself. If you're getting complaints all the time and having to give money back your crew is probably not a A...
The Victor Regulators certainly work really well. But sometimes my regulators get a little beat up in the process of carrying my torch around the jobsite and loading back into my truck. I've had a...
My take on the matter is that anyone who is licensed and comes with a few decades of experience is probably capable of running their own local shop. You're indicating that you'd like to own an HVAC...
We have a UF here in the Seattle area. I'll check with them. Thanks
I've been using Diversitec Linehide for 7 years and I have no complaints. The covers lock together really well and the fittings don't crack and break.
But I decided to try the new Rectorseal...
I've been doing mechanical for 23 years now. My dream is to apprentice all three of my kids when they're old enough and so they won't have to go to college and take on an enormous debt load. It...
York is using a process whereby they give the client "busy work" in hopes they'll get frustrated and walk away. Think about it....... York knows perfectly well who bought the unit and approximately...
Cummins just launched a hydrogen powered commerical bus engine. Maybe that has some use. Funny how they had to design several drains to handle all the water going through the motor because when you...
It's soo odd to see people who have absolutely no HVAC experience try to get into this business by starting their own company. The way it should work is you apprentice out of high school, get...
I make 3x that amount since I work for myself and I typically work only 30-35 hours per week. It certainly pays to work for yourself. I get to go on months long vacations with the family every year...
I have the M18 SDS version. Got it used on ebay for 100 bucks and it came with a 5.0 battery. Can't say if that M12 unit will do any larger than 1/4 holes but let us know......
This is a very common issue we see in our line of work. In fact an overwelming cause of most customer complaints are installation issues, not manufactures defects.

There's frankly very little difference between manufacturers these days and many parts between various furnaces are actually interchangeable. The quality of your installation is everything.
That unit is a "die hard". Other cheap units I see these days are a "Croke easy" :)
single wall requires a 6" clearance to combustibles.
Single wall is perfectly ok when the the gas burning appliance is in a conditioned location. If it's in a cold location you should pipe with...
Well you're doing it for free. So you shouldn't have to put too much effort into the repair. R410A should be okay in the short term.
Geez all this talk of spraying chemicals. I hope whatever remedy you go with isn't more dangerous than the mold you're trying to get rid off. I'm sorry you're having to deal with this, but...
I'll bet your dealer was trying to sell you on a maintenance contract right????
So here's the short answer........ First I've warrantied many parts through trane and they have NEVER asked for...
