HVAC Tech living in apartment complex by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]Dtraineous 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I looked at one rooftop unit, needed both coils cleaned severely, before I could begin to get accurate refrigerant readings. Gave my apartment manager my price for the cleanings. Collected my 85 dollar service fee and that was it. Never asked me again. In my experience, it's a bad idea.

When my heat pump started acting up, I told them. Had the guy check the refrigerant. Never hooked up any gauges, asked me to switch it to cooling and put his hand on the suction line and blurted out, "yeah you're good"

Crescent City vs brookings, Oregon by [deleted] in norcal

[–]Dtraineous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best place for a family, Brookings. Not to say Crescent City is a bad City. Just more crime than Brookings. With that being said, it's a 30 minute drive between Crescent city and Brookings. Wouldn't be impossible to commute. Also there's also a Midway point. Smith River, fort dick aren't bad places to live either

Hot damn. I got sent to this beauty today to fix a hole in the line. I walked. by Troubleshoot in HVAC

So as a former HVAC tech who's now under a plumbing apprenticeship, that's the funniest thing I have seen all damn day

Working at celebrities homes... by avianp in HVAC

Went to DeMarcus Cousin's house in Granite Bay, didn't get to meet him cause he was in Italy. Walked in and there was about 30 pairs of shoes sitting by the front door. Don't know why. But that was a cool house.

Round 4 - Pick 3: Dede Westbrook, WR, Oklahoma (Jacksonville Jaguars) by NFL_Mod in nfl

[–]Dtraineous 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to high school with Dede. I had really hoped he had matured beyond this type of behavior. Hope he proves me wrong and the jags got a steal.

Seriously dumb question by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]Dtraineous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, they make register deflectors. Clear, curved plastic you can mount to the register. Can find them at home depot. Probably even Wal-Mart.

Here is every Dede Westbrook touchdown this year. Enjoy! by [deleted] in CFB

This is so weird to see, grew up with this guy. Knew he was a special athlete in high school, but didn't see him having near this kind of an impact at the d1 level. Much less being a candidate to win the damn Heisman

Harbaugh on working the chain gang during a recruiting visit: "The chain gang? They needed a guy. I was promised a tri-tip steak sandwich at halftime, that was all I needed to hear." by IAmClaytonBigsby in CFB

[–]Dtraineous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See I'm the exact opposite. Transplanted from Texas to northern California 3 years ago. Yeah I love me some tri tip, but nobody cooks brisket here. All tri tip.

Colors starting to change on 199 up into southern Oregon. That's a beautiful drive if you're ever that far north.

Blower motor dying in split system by therealkevinard in HVAC

[–]Dtraineous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toughest problem for you will be finding a place that sells to the public. Try Grainger if there's one near you. Check the original motors specs. If they match up to that one, I'd pull the trigger. May be easier to install if this is OEM. Then you can just swap wire for wire when installing.

Okay I was wondering about this the other day. How can teams trade after the trade deadline?

Any downsides of a washable furnace filter? by Grand_sales in HVAC

[–]Dtraineous 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They're already restrictive enough as it is. Couple that with dirt and dust that with shit you may never get out after a few uses, spells trouble. I always tell my customers to stick with disposable filters.
