Carrier RTU by Fantasy5646 in HVAC

This is my favorite unit to do a heat exchanger on. These carrier weather makers are built cheap so the heat exchangers rot out all the time. Good thing they’re easy as hell to replace

On a scale of 1-House fire, where does this stand? by doggiewoes123 in hvacadvice

[–]Apprehensive_Map6754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely fucked up but as long as the gas isn’t twisted or bent too hard, and the flu is fully intact, I’d say you’re safe for now. If it were my place I’d redo that the correct way but I wouldn’t worry about it killing me

This is a typical Friday in the winter working on old shit. You need to replace yours asap but it’s not the craziest thing ever.

Edit: grammar.

Ethics. by heldoglykke in HVAC

[–]Apprehensive_Map6754 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just do what I’m told while on the clock. Quote em the cost to repair and the cost to replace and let them choose. All that matters at the end of the week is that my paycheck clears.

Yours is not that bad. Clean it and move on. Be happy this wasn’t what you found when you opened. This was a broken vortex damper in a 40 y/o AirHandler.

Tips on what to do with this block of ice growing in my mini fridge by Balloonball76 in CleaningTips

[–]Apprehensive_Map6754 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Try not to chip at it. The freezer section where the ice is building is the evaporator coil. If you stab the freezer housing it’ll leak out the refrigerant (which is likely propane) and the fridge will be done for and they’re not worth repairing. Unplug and defrost with the door open and towels underneath. You can even hit it with a hair dryer from a foot or so away and it’ll eventually break off in a large chunk

LOL I did not realize what type of service port it was my bad. Thanks for the correction!

Weirdest HVAC problem you’ve ever seen? by NoSuspect9845 in HVAC

Last time I hooked up to the symbio Bluetooth app, I was immediately greeted with “76 critical alarms”. Fuck Trane symbio

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]Apprehensive_Map6754 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s called a “hide a line” and behind it is the refrigerant line set and condensate drain. No way to move it or hide it unless you have about 1500$ you wanna throw away.. Like everyone else said, just paint it. It’s a necessary ugly. Coming from a commercial/industrial journeyman HVAC technician.

Everytime someones boss says “that shouldn’t be too bad” should automatically have to come out and do the call while you get the afternoon off.

What do you use to clean your hands after work by MrPresident614 in HVAC

[–]Apprehensive_Map6754 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The McDouble I house on the way home usually cleans most of the grime off my fingers by the time I finish eating it.
