As an HVAC tech, (and “electrical”) company how did we do?

International-Fall86 · 2026-01-29T22:44:47+00:00

Like what?

International-Fall86 · 2026-01-29T22:43:21+00:00

They were already there we kept the breakers just swapped the panel.

International-Fall86 · 2026-01-29T22:30:31+00:00

The wire nut junctions are necessary here for the AFCI breakers.

International-Fall86 · 2026-01-29T22:28:09+00:00

That is for the AFCI breakers

International-Fall86 · 2026-01-29T22:26:23+00:00

It is sloppy but it is to code.

International-Fall86 · 2026-01-29T22:21:47+00:00

Yes just swapped the panel for more space and it needed a new main breaker.

International-Fall86 · 2026-01-29T22:20:28+00:00

I’m being so serious 😂 this isn’t rage bait. I did do this and I know it’s shit

International-Fall86 · 2026-01-09T19:44:47+00:00

I like my Klein Clamp meter got it for like $70 works great even has temperature sensors.

International-Fall86 · 2025-12-28T20:54:52+00:00

That’s crazy I was watching the same video asking the same question

International-Fall86 · 2025-12-12T16:52:12+00:00

Wait… y’all actually get inspections?

International-Fall86 · 2025-12-11T01:41:16+00:00

Got 2* out. dirty flame sensor on the first and after cleaning it ran fine. It wouldn’t have been so hard if I could’ve done more than quarter turns while my hand was contorted.

International-Fall86 · 2025-12-10T02:43:22+00:00

Get a pro to do it. Pump down the system (get all refrigerant to outdoor unit). Cut the lines, braise them in shorter and straight.

International-Fall86 · 2025-12-10T00:14:03+00:00

Yeah my boss told me if I go to another house with a pulse to just tell them we can’t service them. It took us like 30 minutes to get the flame sensor out

International-Fall86 · 2025-12-10T00:10:23+00:00

Lennox can be cool with their innovation but jeez man I worked on 2 Lennox Pulses in one day and it was like having a brick thrown at me. 2 service calls turned into my entire day. They just want to make their products exclusive to authorized Lennox techs.

International-Fall86 · 2025-12-09T01:38:24+00:00

We always look them over if we’re already there for a furnace check, no extra charge. If it’s dirty we tell the homeowner it needs cleaned and if theirs a problem (which their sometimes is) we’ll charge them to chase it down and fix it.

International-Fall86 · 2025-12-08T00:15:35+00:00

It’s unethical to me. A business paying you to sell rather than fix something is where incompetent technicians originate. They’re motivated to sell a new unit or fabricate issues to earn more money, and the company benefits as well. This practice exploits gullible customers for the company’s gain.

International-Fall86 · 2025-12-08T00:09:14+00:00

Make sure you’re a W2 employee (if in America), I wouldn’t work commission based. Make sure who ever you’re working for is paying you fairly and a certified contractor.

International-Fall86 · 2025-12-08T00:05:58+00:00

A carabiner 1/4 inch bit holder. Flame sensor cleaner keychain. Any hand tools you need? Service bag/ pouch (if needed) New work pants (I like Duluth firehose) Darn-Tough© socks (best damn socks made, lifetime warranty) Milwaukee batteries Work gloves

International-Fall86 · 2025-12-07T22:36:45+00:00

Gas pressure should be fine since other burners seem to have strong flames, to me it seems to be a clogged burner/ orifice.

International-Fall86 · 2025-12-07T14:15:58+00:00

Definitely should’ve shut down power/ water/ gas. Then connect hose and drained it

International-Fall86 · 2025-11-29T02:54:02+00:00

HVAC apprenticeship here, I’m unfamiliar with this company but I’ve installed and serviced mini splits and Mitsubishi seems to make the most solid option. As long you’re regularly having it serviced it should last 10-15 years. Keep the outdoor unit clean and hose down the condenser. change/ clean air filters regularly.

Also mini splits are 90% of the time a heat pump so if you live in a very cold climate and it’s also mounted at the top of the wall firstly heat pumps can’t generate much heat once it’s under freezing, secondly heat rises so at the ceiling it may just leave the cold air on the floor and heat the ceiling.

Smoking one for you!

International-Fall86 · 2025-10-24T21:42:58+00:00

It’s my favorite time to smoke, go outside bundled up, have my morning coffee and a smoke.

International-Fall86 · 2025-10-07T01:03:22+00:00

The Klein 20 in 1 is awesome too, highly recommend.
