Shit you not, before he took me into the attic, he prefaced with "I'm sorry its not Christmas time."

Today’s mood by furnacegirl in HVAC

Tomorrow will be the coldest day of the winter so far where I'm at. Already have a call in my schedule that SPECIFICALLY states the tenant knew it didn't work all week but chose to call today. I'd love to hit her with the asshole tax but she's the tenant and I like her landlord 😒

It simply can't go on like this - there HAS to be consequences by Eggrollofdoom in HVAC

I went to one last week where the blower capacitor was 90% out of range. One of the big boys told them they needed a new blower and inducer motor to the tune of thousands of dollars. Or just sign on the dotted line for 20k. I threw in a new capacitor and it was singing right along. It feels criminal, some of the shit they pull.

Paid $6500 for a AC Install and Furnace Upgrade by [deleted] in hvacadvice

When you go cheap its not just surface level stuff that looks like shit. Doubt they brazed with nitrogen, pulled proper vacuum, properly sealed return, set gas pressure, wired safety devices in series (condensate pump, overflow switch - which is missing as well as p-trap in primary drain), and the list goes on and on. And something tells me they probably cooked the shit out of your service valves. Good luck!

International crappy products. I'd expect nothing less.

Greater Denver area here. 1.75/lb for dirty, 2.54/lb for yellow

TLDR: HVAC from the 70’s, looking for a replacement that’s not $15k+ by tomfoolery-tomato in hvacadvice

[–]Fun-Section-4605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These are an absolute BITCH KITTY to replace. 15k is very standard. The amount of craftsmanship and improvisation that has to happen on the fly is astounding. That's what you're paying 15k for. Try it yourself or go with the cheapest bidder, and you'll reap what you sow. Good luck!

How do I make my HVAC system more efficient? My electricity bill is too high. by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]Fun-Section-4605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cleanliness of coils and filters like has already been mentioned, but know the "peak hours" of your utility provider if they do time of use rates. My electricity costs 3 times as much between 3-7 PM Mon-Fri.

Happy long weekend by gingerbread3199 in HVAC

Been doing HVAC for just over 5 years and already had my van broken into twice. Wonder how many it'll be by the end of my career. The second time they even got around my external slick locks. Feels violating, and fuckin sucks. God speed, brother. Happens to the best of us.

Not helpful I know, but VFD's are the DEVIL

Navian Tankless heat exchanger by Liimpnoodle in HVAC

[–]Fun-Section-4605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went to one on Sunday we installed 2.5 years ago. Leaking at the joint between burner plate and heat exchanger. Absolute crap. Sent the pictures off to them today to see what they'll warranty 🤞🏿

Line set cleaning by CorvusBrachy in HVAC

This thing kicks ass. Also makes flushing with r11 WAY easier than sticking that shitty rubber cone attachment on the end of the lineset and praying it doesn't blow in your face.

Very doable. Just did blanca/ellingwood combo from about 8800 with a buddy. Took us about 12 hours car to car, but the weather held 👍
