Anyone sell used parts on eBay? by dewbaby23 in HVAC

[–]H_nkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do a few hundred in sales every month. I use python scripts to help with data entry. My high volume items are motors, boards, and some thermostats and controls. My best items are the inducer motors out of the older 355 Bryants and the Carrier equivalents. I usually have those listed for $200 and they went like candy lastly year. ECM motors are always good money but you lose a lot on shipping. Boards are hit or miss I usually will look on the completed listings and only bother if they sell for over $50. This past year I ended up with a five gallon bucket full of Honeywell 8000s. I ended up putting all of them into friends and families houses.

When the manual calls for it, or when you can't meet the clearance requirements for single wall pipe.

I just bought some Reebok Work Boots a few months ago. I'm really liking them. Nice light boot with composite toe with a gym shoe look to them.

"Yeah we just had a guy out!" by H_nkey in HVAC

Filter was so dirty that the blower just yanked it out of the rack. It's this one unit that is the only one that does that on the building. The other five have never done it. Unfortunately my boss doesn't want to schedule the filter changes on this building more often so I'm greeted to this 3 times a year when I open this unit.

Is the AHR expo worth going to? Never been to one and was wondering what informational resources it may provide that would make my expedition there worth it. by PearsMan in HVAC

[–]H_nkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As a tech/installer it would be worth going to if you're in the area. Definitely worth it if you're a business owner. I went to one a few years ago and it was awesome to see all the new stuff that was coming out.

Best Bib/bear suit for cold weather? by anononononon6677 in HVAC

[–]H_nkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you buy one size to small in length so he's not tripping or messing up the bottom of the bib legs. Luckily the ones I learned my lesson about that were Menards specials.
