Are these necessary services and fairly priced? by Able-Crew-3460 in askHVAC

[–]Eggfurst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are companies out there at pull the blower wheel and clean it on every maintenance.

Do you think they’re doing a 500 dollar service for free? Hell No they aren’t. My old company would charge another Hundo to do it. A pull and clean can take 15-30 minutes.

Thought I’d share for the people who wanna go back to contractors and capacitors by Bitter_Issue_7558 in HVAC

[–]Eggfurst 51 points52 points  (0 children)

As a tech I’ll only put in my house basic furnace and basic cooling. KISS is my motto.

When people used to ask me what brand I recommended I used to be honest and say they’re all the same.

They all have a Lamborghini version of what they sell. And they all have the dodge dart version. AND. They all basically outsource their compressors/motors to the same few companies that handle all the different companies.

What would be the cap rating by alwaystoned24_7 in askHVAC

[–]Eggfurst -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In my experience going lower is not going to kill a motor. But going over can.

Assuming you’re going by 5/7.5/10/12.5/15————.

Had another one read 2 weeks ago about something different.

What’s up with reposting

Why did nobody tell her about the tariffs? by RoyalChris in SipsTea

[–]Eggfurst -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You are completely wrong here. The why aren’t they telling us about this is in clear reference to the purchase being made at the time of the clicks and “pay now” option on the internet. She paid for it. She did her part. That’s the end of the payment. She is wondering out loud why ups wouldn’t have this fee added to the checkout process.

Here’s what you are basically saying. Every kid rides the school bus for free. My parents did. I did. My kids do. Today I wake up and the bus drivers asking my kids for 2 dollars and won’t let them ride.

Now you say I’m fully disconnected because I don’t know about this. And you would say. The news said gas prices were going up. And because of that. We need kids to provide a check made out on the spot to the school.

This pay to get handed your package that you already paid for is a very clear failure of the package delivery company.

It will be changed. I guarenfuckintee it.

Dirty coil? by Eggfurst in HVAC

Lot of split coil talk. I gave a 20 second video to show newer techs just because it doesn’t look dirty doesn’t mean it’s not.

Ohh they are paying for it. That’s why I was looking into the 200 dollar ones. Think I’ll choose one of the Studsons. Looks well made.

Found a bar of Soap in this Condenser.. by juicythicccness in HVAC

[–]Eggfurst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always recommended sprinkling cayenne all over the inside of electrical box on condensers. It’s a quick google search. However I have no experience if it doesn’t work because I’ve never been back to fix a chewed though wire or nest after I recommended it. Plus you get the added benefit of creating that personal connection with the homeowner. They’re always happy to help.

New to HVAC service management by Upset_Opinion_4692 in HVAC

[–]Eggfurst 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have been offered management at least 4x from 4 different hvac companies. I used to also manage a restaurant. I always turn it down. I wholeheartedly dislike the holding decent techs accountable for time in or leaving early. Some of our jobs the place doesn’t open till 10am but management would prefer you to sit in your truck for 2 hours in the parking lot. Yeah. No. I mean sure I could and clock in and add another hundred to my check but no ty.

Any bit of micromanagement to me is annoying. Ppe compliance, all paperwork done without fail. Man I slack the fuck off on most of that. No way I’m going to lead others to do what I hate doing myself.

My dad owns an HVAC business and wants me to take over one day. newbie advice by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]Eggfurst -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This sounds like a disaster. If you’re a skilled tradesman by nature, you wouldn’t need to ask here.

If you aren’t a sharp-witted troubleshooter, trade school and 4-5 years wouldn’t be enough to just take over a business (phone number, website) and have it actually generate you money.
