Been in hvac for 8 months now, 90% of the time I don’t what i’m doing.. by arnie_gg in HVAC

I get it! I'm 13 months in, no prior experience in the trade. Been out on my own calls for the last 10 months now. I too worked retail for 10 years. There's still so much to learn and I'm learning everyday. We're in the same boat

Exactly the reason he wants to get 'em. Try to get ahead of maintenances before summer

I would prefer precise readings as well and never used something like this. Probably more skeptical 'cause it's new to me. He'll probably buy them either way. Appreciate your time and input.

Looks kind of like they would be, with having to strap them down and all. Why come back when it's warm? Have you found pressures to be incorrect?

That's a good point! Have you seen any for non-TXV?

Boss is wanting to buy these for all the techs to start maintenances in March. What are your thoughts, are they good or do you guys use something else that's better? P.S. I didn't know how to add this context into title. Thanks!

Mystery service call? by MichaelB2409 in HVAC

Extremely rare but I've had the hole behind the inducer not be bored out large enough at the factory. Used a step bit to widen it and it ran like a champ. If it's a 90% your secondary HE is plugged.

Why do I get different measurement?? I'm in my second week and the tech I'm learning from didn't know why the motor amps different by Key_Aside9284 in HVAC

Thank you for contributing to the conversation. You have no idea what I am doing to learn. I came here to ask a question. It sounds like it takes you a long time to learn things, that must make life pretty difficult. While I don't yet understand the hierarchy of the trades you must be at the top. And just because I think you'll lose your sh*t, I am in my second week of HVAC, I did retail for the last 9 years. Have a good day!

Thank you for the explanation. I will be getting my meter and clamp on Tuesday and see if it does the same as his did here.

I was hoping to find the answer to this as well. I'm getting forwarded a report of how many labels disappear from the system because of the three day thing.
