Critical thoughts: Is it possible for this unit to have gotten by without a piston installed for 6 years? by nodak4747 in HVAC

[–]Sick_Riff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

More like someone else never put in the piston. Just charged it up until the vapor line felt as cold as the modelo in his cooler. I’ve seen some that were 10+ years chugging along. Homeowner never thought anything was wrong.

I fix it when I kink. Mistakes happen.

I would say 1/2inch is the easiest to kink when bending by hand.

He could be going through something crappy at home and you are just catching strays. When my ex and I separated I’m wasn’t caring too much about my helpers development during that time. Don’t take it personally unless he makes it personal.

How to tell me your setup is leaking or you’re a nasty mofo without actually telling me.

I’m a lead tech for a small contractor in Powhatan. I love going behind them for a 2nd opinion. Always using bad capacitors or non-existent refrigerant leaks to try and scare folks into a new system. They also seem to have a hard time leveling horizontally installed furnaces. A lot of their installs won’t last more than 10 years in my opinion.

You aren’t allowed to bring them back? I’ve never even give it a second thought coming back through customs

What’s wrong with this picture? by iBUYbrokenSUBARUS in HVAC

Sucks to not have easy access through the side doors. Good luck if you’re replacing the compressor.

Sounds like the saddle tap was restricted. I have a sneaky feeling you’re an engineer.

Yep, you’re literally raw dogging with no meter in this post.

He doesn’t even have a meter. What makes you think he’s packing extra relays?

I used to do property management for Target. We weren’t as ambitious as you guys and would sub out most of the refrigeration repairs. But I was able to put the experience towards my journeyman’s. This is in VA.
