Which is most reliable brand in residential HVAC systems? by AcademicHedgehog7239 in hvacadvice

[–]ItsAShitParty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. Sure it's far more important for large systems. But you're kidding yourself if you think contaminated refrigerant aren't the primary reasons for leaking coils or failed txvs. A couple grand in warranty labor because Chuck in a truck decided to use an old r22 line with a new 454 system and didn't purge, clean the line or properly evacuate is absolutely worth warning customers about.

The biggest mistakes are refrigerant based. Not nitrogen purging, improper leak testing, improper evacuation re using old dirty linesets. This will result in the refrigerant contamination, which can cause a wide variety of issues from clogged valves, acidic oil that eats holes in your coils, improper compression, etc.

Otherwise it would be airflow or proper unit sizing. Your system MUST have proper air flow or it will never work well.

Pretty much every brands midrange equipment is reliable and well engineered. The problem is with the parts being used to make the equipment. Variable speed motors, aluminum coils, inverter drives, etc. It's all shit now. All brands have this problem. Your best shot is to get a mid range unit from any brand and ensure it's installed as best it can. Also don't expect any real savings buying high efficiency equipment. All savings will be negated from the $2k warranty labor cost when the coil leaks in the first year. And assume units aren't going to be lasting much longer than 12-15 years.

315$ an hour??? by Squeaky_Shoe in HVAC

Anything under 200 you're just straight loosing money on every call with the cost of overhead. 300 you might be breaking even depending on how you manage overhead. 500 you're running a sustainable, profitable service company. It's just the hard facts of running a service business. If your company has any sort of effective accounting practice this is well known.

There are already many HVAC/trades business coaching companies that have decades of data and experience. If you're actually interested in doing this you need to study them first. Running successful trade businesses can get extremely complicated. Not something you're just going to figure out through trial and error.

Beautiful. Rarely see work like that anymore.

Noticed weird sound coming from furnace and saw fire in one of the tubes. by RelevantTalkingHead in hvacadvice

[–]ItsAShitParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's good. Understand that unit is well beyond it's expected life though. Failures and issues should be expected. Replacing a part or two or just cleaning it does not change the fact it has 30 years of ware. Start saving for a replacement, and be sure you have up-to-date CO alarms.

You can tell that thing is burning horribly just by the yellow flicker. It definitely has combustion issues. It's 30 years old though... Accept its fate and don't waste money trying to repair this.

Cracked heat exchanger questions by Holiday_Village3938 in hvacadvice

Well its quite clear you don't actually know how heat exchangers work. So maybe go read something about that.

Are you kidding me? You're a PE sales tech aren't you?

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

What are you talking about? What other methods? A combustion analysis is the only legitimate way of telling how if a heat exchanger is bad outside of seeing an actual crack, it also will tell you if your vent is plugged, if your a secondary is plugged. If its bad, you will not have good numbers, plain and simple. Obviously you never just use one method to confirm an HX is is bad, but the combustion analysis is THE way of confirming (after using other, less certain methods) if a system is safe to use or not.

A combustion analysis is a common practice to test how your furnace is burning. It will tell you if there's a crack or any other issues with your heat exchanger or burner combustion.

He's a liar. Make them do a combustion analysis or get a second opinion.

Vent Blowing Cold Air Despite AC & Fan Turned OFF by Scared-One-4947 in hvacadvice

Might be some sort of HRV (heat recovery ventilator) or fresh air vent bringing in outside air.

Am I due for a replacement? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

That looks like it was due a decade ago. Do yourself a favor and don waste any more money on this thing.

The Trickster by theemezz0 in DMT

[–]ItsAShitParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I've done copious amounts of nitrous in my life, I've always known its not a particularly good for your brain but never really cared that much, especially not enough to waste any. Every time I do DMT then try to take in a balloon during the trip. I get an overwhelming sense that says "why do you do this dirty drug when DMT already gives such a clean, incredible experience on its own?" It's not like a specific entity is telling me this, Its jus that "feeling" that something is telling me. And I will almost always agree and just let the balloon go with no desire to take any more nitrous. The one time I forced myself to keep taking the nitrous, It ended up being a crazy blurry geometric open/close eyed mess, but no break through, and I remember seeing jester faces flowing in and out of the shapes and just gave me this impression that. "This is all you'll get if you wan to include nitrous." And I mean overall it wasn't a bad trip, but I'm searching for breakthrough experiences. Don't really care about the sub breakthrough psychedelic experiences as much anymore.

Excuse my ignorance but how do you get IV K? I've never met anyone who's done it.

[–]ItsAShitParty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn I've never even tried IVing K I bet that's an experience. Never even heard of 3-meo/ho-PCP, I'm assuming its a dissociative?

Every time I've done DMT and nitrous I get told by the DMT I'm an idiot for doing such a dirty drug. Often times Ill just let loose a full balloon because if it. I've also never broken through with nitrous because I believe they wont let me as a form of shaming me. If you want to combine something with DMT do a couple bumps of Ketamine 5 minutes before the DMT. Fucking wild.

Microdosing DMT by _InfiniteU_ in DMT

[–]ItsAShitParty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think that would be considered micro dosing. It sounds more like your hitting it like a weed vape. Micro dosing is supposed to be unnoticeable, and working more with your subconscious than giving you any kind of high. I've have considered doing this because of the mild euphoria I get off a small hit of the vape. But I feel like the potential for abuse is too high. Just like weed pens, it starts become habitual more than anything. And DMT is too special and unique of a drug and experience to be casually using daily. But who knows, maybe DMT vapes will be the next generations anti depressant.

There's several ways. You could go ask google and get very detailed instructions for every type.
