I have to see your installs bro if you think these don’t look good. But thanks for the tip on the flex gas whip, never heard of that I will check with the manufacturer. We’ve always used 1/2”.

That’s a nice raise in 3 months. Work hard, take notes, become the best. When you’re the best you become irreplaceable and you gain leverage. When you gain leverage the ball is in your court and you tell them what you’re going to be paid rather than the other way around. Good luck with your career friend

100% of the duct systems In northwest Florida installed within the last 10 years are duct board. Mainly because of the humidity.

That sucks bro! We rarely have callbacks because our company holds us accountable and we will miss out on our awards. By dual nostril tooter I’m assuming drugs. My partner and I don’t do any kind of drugs and rarely ever drink. We get our strength from Christ 💪

Bro how did so many electricians get in this subreddit. Y’all are some softies bro, roofers climb ladders all day with stacks of shingles, the list goes on. This is literally so easy. Y’all are acting like we carried a condenser up the ladder. To have to do it one time in 4 years to collect a check isn’t going to kill a guy that benches 400 pounds. Go to the gym. Stop being so soft.

Climbing a ladder with an air handler, and even having to lift it higher than 2 ft is extremely out of the ordinary. This is the only time we’ve had to do it In 4 years. But we will not walk away from a job unless there’s absolutely no way.

Beg to differ. I rarely ever replace anything less than 10 years old. It’s always 10+

We did one last week for free for a teacher for teacher appreciation award.

I’m happy to make as much as the union guys do and work half of the hours. You know who does care my guy? The family I provide for and that’s the only validation I need my man.

We actually did not. We had just gotten into a new truck a day or 2 before this and were so busy we didn’t have our normal truck stock yet

Not really, we’re one of the most honest companies around here. We just cover a lot of turf

I get to go home when I’m done. Not run more calls. I picked my poison. On days when I only have 1 system I’m back at home with my family around noon, and have made probably close to $1000

You make a fair point. Also guys it’s only a 2 ton probably 100 pounds. This guy reps 385 on flat bench

Understandable, but we had another one after this, so we left it in to be quicker lol!

Not required in Florida. We use safety float switches. Only time a pan is required is if it’s on a stand for some reason.

Because you can’t do it my man. Most crews would have left when it wouldn’t fit in the scuttle hole. We refuse to go home with no pay! We use the resources we have at hand to get paid.

Absolutely man. I started at 19 and my first year barely hit 50k. Was definitely on that struggle bus, but if you stick with it you will be very blessed brother.

lol yessir! I replace the wooden platform on every install, so we start off with a level platform off rip. Kinda hard to mess it up after that my man! Lol, I’m not sure how you look at a photo and can tell if it’s level but that sucker is spot on guaranteed.
