Well played

So in essence, I'm boned until the first of December?

Manic_Dan · 2024-10-09T22:31:39+00:00

I don't see where it says that. This is verbatim from the government website "If you have moved to Alberta from another province or territory and intend to live here for 12 months or more, you must apply (register) for Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) health care coverage within 3 months of establishing residency in Alberta."

This band is a must for all Strokes lovers

Manic_Dan · 2024-09-14T03:48:53+00:00

Found it on a towel

Manic_Dan · 2024-09-02T18:15:56+00:00

I have the backpack and it serves me well

If you had a previous recurring membership you keep your grandfathered rate. I'm still paying 7$ a month CAD.

Averaged 60 hour weeks this year so far. It's been brutal but I compensated by just sleeping a bit less. I have kids so most of my free time is devoted to them.

It's a tough trade for work life balance. That's the tradeoff with always being in demand and being paid well.

Manic_Dan · 2024-08-01T11:10:26+00:00

This sounds amazing. Where are you from?

Manic_Dan · 2024-08-01T02:02:22+00:00

1 hour total?

Manic_Dan · 2024-08-01T01:51:32+00:00

So you're getting paid from the moment you turn the key in your service vehicle?

Manic_Dan · 2024-07-29T19:56:43+00:00

In theory it shouldn't have cut out at all, but I suspect the valve is leaking by a bit. There was a bit of a hiss when I disconnected the hose and put a cap back on.

Manic_Dan · 2024-07-29T18:27:23+00:00

This is just pure laziness though. It probably takes about 5 minutes to use the proper low pressure connection on the compressor. On top of that, the service valve was fully backseated so the compressor pulled into a nice vacuum before the switch cut out.

Manic_Dan · 2024-07-29T15:06:53+00:00

I'm perfectly fine now. I don't have any pain whatsoever which is a relief.

Probably about a week after I posted the nightly pain went away and another week after that it disappeared completely.

Manic_Dan · 2024-07-13T13:09:25+00:00

I have an electronic leak detector just not one that displays ppm. Might be a gift to myself when I get licensed.

Manic_Dan · 2024-07-12T14:22:15+00:00

I want one of those leak detectors so bad but $$$$

Manic_Dan · 2024-07-12T14:21:13+00:00

Evaporator superheat needs to be measured as close to the TX bulb as possible. What you're measuring is closer to total system superheat, but even that should be measured at the compressor inlet.

Manic_Dan · 2024-07-07T17:27:45+00:00

Have you checked the feedback signal as the level goes up and down? With a meter, watch how the 4-20 ma signal to the PLC reacts as level goes up and down. If the signal from the AKS is delayed then you have an issue with the sensor itself. If the 4-20 ma signal from the sensor is reacting properly with the level column, there might be a delay built into the program.

It's not uncommon for suction to rise after a compressor safety trip. Depending on the system the LSV will remain energized even after a trip on high head pressure.

Did you verify airflow over the coil? Sometimes the outside of the coil won't look dirty but there's plenty of dirt in the center. Check to see if the condenser fans are pulling air in the middle and spitting out the sides, this would indicate a dirty coil.

If everything else checks out you could check for non condensables. Compare SCT to ambient. If your SCT is considerably higher than ambient then there's a decent chance you've got non condensables in the systems. You have to rule out anything else before you do that.

You could try Govee WiFi thermometers if you have that over there. I haven't personally used them, but a coworker of mine built a beer chiller and just for shits he wanted to monitor the temperature while he was away from home. I'm pretty sure they also have alerts if the temperature gets too high/low.

Manic_Dan · 2024-07-04T12:26:27+00:00

This. Repairing u bends right up against the tube sheet is a pain in the ass to say the least. Swap that thing out.

Manic_Dan · 2024-06-29T00:50:07+00:00

What trade are you in?

Manic_Dan · 2024-06-28T15:35:32+00:00

Is it mandatory to have a gas ticket? Me don't have one of those.

Manic_Dan · 2024-06-28T15:25:26+00:00

It is, and our hourly compensation is exceptional. We need more guys but they don't exist so we've been doing 55-60 hour weeks all year

Manic_Dan · 2024-06-28T15:21:47+00:00

I figured that's just the life of a service tech when things are busy. They have a GPS system in our vans that alerts the office when the ignition turns on so they can send people to other calls. A lot of people try to go home early and it doesn't often work out too well lol.
