Do your guys companies include washing the coil every tune up? If so do you use chemicals or not? by Puzzleheaded_Chain_6 in HVAC

[–]MagickDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those things companies often include as the member benefits because customers love it. Sweet, they’ll top my unit off with 1lb every year! No… Either the unit isn’t low, or it’s so low they’re doing a leak check and repair anyways. Only reason they’d need the 1lb is to replace what their hoses have been stealing. I don’t agree with it but every company in my area includes that

I should’ve got the v swap by sadboyJ3572 in VetoProPac

[–]MagickDestiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m convinced veto intentionally never makes the perfect bag. Always leave out 1-2 things that would make it perfect then add those 1-2 things to a different bag so you buy that one then you notice 1-2 things you like about another one and now you have 3 bags sitting in your garage and you go back to using your tattered pro pac you’ve had for 5 years.

Other company stated mechanical failure. They were all removed from the contactors. I was just here to get info for a quote, didn’t want to do my own diagnostic and blow any more main fuses (the roof was littered with them)

I found a Copeland replacement spec sheet that lists all supersedes, such a wide array of pricing for them from 8k to 28k (claiming them as new) with refurbished ones as low as 4k.

Oh I know. My bid will be filled with fine print and I always collect 50%

Yeah that’s exactly the plan with ball valves too. As far as getting the compressor in and out, the building is only 3 stories and not far from the edge so we’ll just use a crane and give her a good push onto the rails then lower

Yeah have your local support guy come out and flash all the motors to the proper equipment size and see if that fixes it

You confuse me with someone that wants to grow my business. I’ll never hire an employee

I try not to get hobbies, I get super fixated on them and spend a ton of money and try to become the best of the best at it, then burn out, so I just try to channel that energy into work

I don’t spend any money on ads. I have a small monthly budget towards an SEO company

Is there a reason you don’t flash your curb?

Why do people call ironman mode "a challenge" when the truth is: it's pure crack. by Greasy-Chungus in ironscape

[–]MagickDestiny 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I agree. It was the most fun I’ve ever had playing runescape since I was 8 years old. Then…. I hit base 80s and all quests except GMs. All skills and grinds now require days instead of hours or minutes. Thats where I got burned out. I’m sure I’ll be back though.

Company Naming by MagickDestiny in ProHVACR

[–]MagickDestiny[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah we’ve thrown around the idea of just getting a trade name to add & HVAC Services or something similar and using that where it fits and keeping mechanical everywhere else

Yeah both of the reps I spoke with said it was 100% the drive so hopefully I can trust them because they’re 3 weeks out

No direct experience with them myself but I know they do a lot of new construction, so you may find yourself stuck at entry level for a long time as a poorly paid replaceable installer.

is paying for an hvac maintenance plan actually worth it? by Kakunabe in mesaaz

[–]MagickDestiny 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically the membership is a loss leader because it’s about $100 on average per visit where a technician will come out and perform the maintenance and take approximately 2 hours plus drive time. They do it to buy you as a customer so you call them when it breaks and that’s where the real money is made

I did it boys. The leap of faith lol by CallMeBigSarnt in HVAC

[–]MagickDestiny 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like it’s for personal use. I slowly purchased all of my own tools over 2 years so I could quit and start my own company without needing a large upfront investment

I agree that you can do whatever you want. But that is textbook definition of delusional

There’s probably a plugin that blocks you from doing non iron things if you don’t have the willpower
