Someone did something similar in a military dorm, except they used a 60 watt incandescent bulb.... which damaged the thermostat lol.

Edit: On deployment we were staying in fancy tents with package...

I’ve been really enjoying the Wago style connectors. They are clear so you can see how well the connection is made. Doesn’t matter if the wires are different metals, different sizes, or...

Is there a Siemens building automation branch in the area around you? They might be looking for someone.

Can I have a copy too please?

You're right, Siemens' TXIO blocks can do what ever you need them to and are modular so you can use as many as you need. The controllers are programmable in line code so you can make them do whatever...

Will a transformer still pull inrush current with the secondary side disconnected?

That was a joke, pretty sure special-k was joking too lol. Guess it's hard to tell without a 'lol' or an emoji!

You didn't play pong on PS2?

Fallout 76!! I probably played more games in 2006 lol

That's awesome, just signed up. Thanks.

It's weird he wanted you to leave the pump down there. I always assumed crawl spaces like that are due to the techs, guess that's why you can't assume.

That one takes a single AAA

Free time, never seem to get that gift though :D

I got an Allosun EM3085A to keep in my pocket. It's not CatIII but for low voltage I would think it would be fine. Between that, a 10 in 1, and a Leatherman it seems like a lot of bases are covered. ...

Maybe we can go back to building things simply. Probably not but it's fun to dream.

When people talk about VRF are they just talking about multiple mini-split heads on one condenser or is there something that makes VRF different?

What model tstat is it?

It might have something to do with how the thermostat is programmed or maybe it’s a failed stat

Are all the manufacturers a good option for someone trying to switch from hvac service to controls? It seems like a lot of people have good things to say about Trane and Siemens. It would be nice to...

Take my love, take my land,
Take me where I cannot stand.
I don't care, I'm still free,
You can't take the sky from me.

What happened to the last Richmond guy? It wasn't that long ago he got hired

Edit: Oh you got promoted. Congratulations!

Seems like all the good manufacturing/industrial jobs are drying up :c

Hopefully OP has it resolved by now :D

I've been using the Veto MB for five years. Every time I try something else I come back to it

Sealskinz socks are amazing for wet conditions or snow but I usually wear cheap cotton socks. Going to look into those socks you guys mentioned. This thread took an odd but interesting turn lol

Worked all day, through the night, and late the next day one time doing residential. It was odd going to someone's house that late. Some guy at 3am said he hadn't slept because it was too hot. Then...

Never thought of that, Im going to start doing that. I wear my boots every day at home or at work and they wear out quick, even redwing

Trane tech support told me before to always replace both at the same time. From now on if a customer wants to try only doing half I'm still bringing both and returning a part if unneeded

That was exactly what I was looking for, thanks. It looks like the new module was receiving the proper control voltage but not turning the motor even though it ohms out fine. I'm thinking it has to...

Does anyone know the voltages Trane boards are supposed to put out on the 16 pin connector to verify the board is calling? I was hoping it would be in the unit manual but I didn't see it....

Northern tools seems more expensive then harbor freight but better quality. Never had any problems with any tools from there.

It's pretty cool when people make their own from a brake but that...

Zebralight AA headlamp with me all the time and a Maxxeon headlamp from the supply house on my hard hat. The zebralight is bulletproof, 100% waterproof, impact resistant, great beam, ok battery life...

Getting N2 in the system would be from pressure testing with nitrogen then not pulling a low enough vacuum? How high of a vacuum would that be to leave nitrogen in the system?

The thimble of air...

Is it some kind of rivet with a hole in it that goes in the stripped out hole?

That's the most annoying thing in the world and I swear every unit I touch has every single screw hole so stripped out the screws almost fall out. Then someone gets the awesome idea to replace all...

So it's incident energy that's important and not necessarily you shorting something out but something else failing with you being close?

Is there anything you have to do different to be safe around three phase 460v then 240v single phase? Someone told me they worked with voltages that would "jump out" to shock you even when you didn't...

Official Dharma Initiative air conditioners lol

Any links for the AK900? I would love to buy a new pair of those

Hopefully they are just taking a break and will come back :D

SaturatedPSI, didn't Digi-cool go out of business? If you use the Testo wireless set up and needed to add refrigerant or take some away couldn't you use hoses with ball valves on the end to...

Come work over here lol.

On the commercial side of this company it seems pretty steady at 40 hours per week with some OT when it gets very hot or cold (from what I'm told). The residential side...

I already knew that, talk to the R E Michels salesman :p

Something cool I heard today from a Bacharach employee, if your H10 sucks up water, leave it running for a two hours to dry the water up. According to him that should fix it. Wish I knew that a...

Best bet is to be both but the way I've been told is a mechanic is for installing and a technician is for service

If your single without too many bills find a good company and say you will work with them for free to learn. There's a good chance that might turn into a job, if not your still learning. That's how I...

Thats the problem with Resi HVAC companies. If they are good there will always be too much work. I had your current problem, then went to another Resi company where it was too slow, and now I'm in...

Ask them what color wires are every so often then say your color blind after a while lol

They sometimes don't stop talking when you tell them that?

Do you guys ever experience this:

I never heard of this expression before but it seems to sum up one of the best parts of HVAC lol
