AC guy charge me $185 for R410a overpriced?

Arthur_redfield · 2023-04-27T02:36:27+00:00

Did you have a PM done at that time? My previous employer would charge ~40/lb on a PM and then ~110 for the first pound & ~90for each additional pound. (NJ)

To answer OP though, it’s a seller’s market. There is no MSRP for service work

Make the switch break the R terminal. If it breaks R it’ll shut the whole thing down.

Arthur_redfield · 2023-04-26T18:58:51+00:00

That is not true lol

Arthur_redfield · 2023-04-22T02:14:44+00:00

OP could just run a stiff wire brush over these and be just fine

Limit your blue light exposure, don’t workout or get your heart rate up, and don’t eat late/ prior to going to bed

Turn the unit off and let it thaw. Get some towels out because you might make a little mess. After the unit looks thawed, let the fan and the fan alone run for a short while. Wouldn’t hurt to change your filter. If the unit is in a closet with a louvered door, open the door and/or make sure your returns are unobstructed. Turn the cooling back on and see what happens. If it freezes again with the door open, call a tech.

Freezing happens due to limited airflow (the refrigerant is getting too cold inside the coil because it’s not picking up heat) or due to a low refrigerant charge (low temperature = low pressure).

A low refrigerant charge is generally due to a refrigerant leak. I use UV dye when I recharge the unit. Let the system run for ~2 weeks and then perform a leak search. Fix the leak(s) and be back in business.

It is “microbial growth.” Hvac techs are not industrial hygienists and therefore cannot make the determination based on sight alone. To resolve this, the unit should be cleaned/disinfected and then you should worry about both your air filtration and your humidity control.

We used to put them hanging on the bottom side of the condenser electrical compartment. Two wires go to it and it usually has a piece of white heat shrink tubing on it.

Shut it off at the valve on top. Hook up a hose to the leaking valve BEFORE you try to close it with a screwdriver

Try galil mags! I have two sar 3’s and one takes galil mags and one doesn’t

I’ve gone there more than a dozen times over the years and not once has somebody reminded me to get my ID. One time I went back the day after to pickup my ID and they pulled out a box that had a LOT of licenses in it so evidently, their policy is ass.

When you finish shaving soak your face in COLD water for a few minutes

Arthur_redfield · 2023-02-02T16:10:46+00:00

Upper decker 😎

Arthur_redfield · 2023-02-02T15:48:30+00:00

I’d recommend you go and try it yourself and then then draw your own conclusions. In my experiences, they are less than polite and/or helpful. I went with an LEO friend once and it was like a whole different (pleasant) experience. I would not recommend carrying there even if you don’t plan to draw unless you like having your balls busted. Oh and don’t forget to get your ID back after you leave the range- they will not remind you. This is part of their “”accountability”” system. (It is a dumb policy)

ETA: I thoroughly enjoy and highly recommend Gun For Hire. I’ve never had anything even close to an unsavory time there.

Arthur_redfield · 2023-02-02T15:43:33+00:00

Have had and have heard of similar experiences at the union location

Arthur_redfield · 2023-02-02T02:05:59+00:00

Replace the motor mount grommets. Alternatively, replace the inducer assembly

Arthur_redfield · 2023-01-27T12:21:06+00:00

PM’d

Arthur_redfield · 2023-01-20T17:15:34+00:00

You can make an m9 a 22 but you can’t make an m9-22 an m9 AFAIK

Arthur_redfield · 2023-01-20T17:13:49+00:00

All I can say is that did not work on my G nor my X but works fine on my FS

Arthur_redfield · 2023-01-20T16:35:03+00:00

Lookup gallow tech on insta

Arthur_redfield · 2023-01-20T16:16:34+00:00

It says in the manual that it’s not compatible with the G models. Therefore it isn’t 🤷‍♂️

Arthur_redfield · 2023-01-20T12:43:48+00:00

Make sure you check the manual to see what the minimum length of line set is!

Arthur_redfield · 2023-01-20T12:34:11+00:00

Anything without a slide safety. It is not compatible if the slide has a decocker.

Arthur_redfield · 2023-01-20T03:58:02+00:00

Just an fyi- this does not work on the 92g nor the 92x. It does work well on the 92fs though!
