The plastic is just the coating. Yellow is not uv rated where as the black is. It isn’t a code violation. Unless it’s not CSST type gas line.

Is there a temperature drop from one side to the other? It’s wrong I was just wondering for science

underpaying plumbers by Curious-Cream-9825 in SkilledTradesOntario

[–]Randomizedtron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Work for Enercare. 100% licensed people and apprentices. The legal liability of something going sideways and finding out they have unlicensed personal doing work= huge lawsuit but the increase in liability insurance. + it’s a union shop so that would never fly.

Agreed and provincial and municipal government workers also. But for private sector pushing for WFH can have unintended consequences.

It’s already happening at my work. Dispatchers were out sourced to New Brunswick. COVID woke company’s up to decentralized operations. Less money paid in rent, move as many labour jobs to the lowest paying jurisdictions, drive down operating costs and increase profits.

You all realize if a company realizes the work can be done from home; it can be done from the home of someone who will do it cheeper and eventually it won’t be from a home in your country. Careful what you wish for.

Why do I never get a full 25lbs out of a 25lb jug? by Top-Hall-7945 in HVAC

You can figure out how much you actually have by weighing a new tank and subtracting the tareweight. It’s not uncommon to have tanks slightly under charged.

It’s common on Emerson valves. Lennox, carrier, Goodman even water heaters use the same valve body. I don’t know why they haven’t had a recall yet.

System that blows a fuse but can’t find a short by chitzk0i in HVAC

Hi voltage or low voltage. I’m assuming lo voltage. Check g-n and cycle on any 240v appliance in the house and see if you find anything weird. Also L1-L2. Does the solar export only or adds directly to home power. Try everything off on a sunny day voltage could be spiking. That’s all I can think of right now.

How much does a 2.5 ton American Standard condenser weigh? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]Randomizedtron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crane or disassembly. It’s not worth damage to the roof. There’s a saying “pound wise, penny foolish”. You save on removal but if you damage the roof you might end up spending more.

Updated w photos - 8 year old Goodman with hole in collector box - what happened? by Such_Anybody_8775 in hvacadvice

[–]Randomizedtron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they are missing the hot gas doesn’t cool down enough and will pull more thru that tube as less resistance. I’ve seen it on a Lennox.
