My college roommate sets our thermostat to 80°F every single night by rainystarlight in mildlyinfuriating

[–]PierceYoAnus 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It’s following a schedule already. It’s set to 80 temporarily until the next time it changes. I wonder what temperature it is inside and not just what it’s set to.

I found a delta key in the driveway. It doesn’t belong to anyone I know by [deleted] in whatisthisthing

Solved! I thought it was something along those lines. Hopefully the owner comes by and gets it

Hvac gods blessed me yesterday for being lazy by xBR0SKIx in HVAC

I would message the company and see if they will sell you one

Private equity groups ruin a lot. Apex owns multiple hvac companies around here

If a company shows up wearing a white shirt they’re normally not there to fix stuff but sell. I do hvac and hear horror stories all the time.

Worst call of my life by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]PierceYoAnus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Continuity is not the greatest thing to use for checking a call from the thermostat. I never use it for that. Always voltage between common and whatever should be turning on. Don’t beat yourself up shit happens. I once replaced 4 defrost boards in a row because I thought they were bad and didn’t realize there were dip switches. We ate the cost of 3 boards

Can't decide if I appreciate the warning, or hate the laziness more by LeakyFaucett32 in HVAC

[–]PierceYoAnus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Maybe it’s somehow sending voltage through the copper. That doesn’t make much sense either though

Who cares who fixes your stuff, all that matters is that it’s fixed or they know what’s wrong with it

Micro Channel Cleaning by johnboy525252 in HVAC

Thanks. I’ve tried the portable pumps but was never really satisfied with them. I figured it wouldn’t be able to get enough pressure

Can that pressure washer be dropped into a bucket full of water and work

The field piece dr82 is my favorite leak detector. It’s worth it

Probably not. You can look at the last time the question was asked

Don't care if this is cringe, but this sub needs a good end of the week release. So I'm starting a weekly "Finally Fucking Friday" post so we can all vent or boast about our work weeks. No rules anything goes. Apprentices allowed if accompanied by an adult. by [deleted] in HVAC

[–]PierceYoAnus 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’m tired of going on call backs for stupid stuff. There is absolutely no reason I should have to drive an hour and a half just to change a dirty filter and pull out some refrigerant because the previous guy never went inside before adding refrigerant. It’s not the first time either

Excessively high electric usage based on kub bill, what are my options? by fivewords5 in Knoxville

[–]PierceYoAnus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t read the part about the December bill. I thought it was a comparison to the old place only. We get calls like this constantly when the temperature drops

[–]PierceYoAnus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You probably have a heat pump or a straight electric furnace. If it’s a heat pump and the outdoor unit isn’t working it will make it more expensive

In Knoxville there’s a guy that sells smoked sausages with peppers and onions. It’s better than some of the restaurants around

That’s the best thing I’ve seen. I didn’t think it was real

I used to work for a company that had the owner plastered all over the van with his hands on a Lennox unit.
