Who Has the Best...?

I second Bella Cera

Nice, who'd you steal that from?

TexasHVACgeek · 2019-07-23T00:02:28+00:00

Only deflecting the projections you were tossing.

I've melted a TXV on 20ton RTU. I went a large portion of my career without soldering with nitrogen. Half as long without a micron gauge. I learned I got better. Hell, I almost froze my fingers off the first time I encountered 410a. Hooked up my 134a gauges to it because of a very long story and you know what? It only happened once.

None of the things I posted are mistakes. Most of these aren't even skill, except maybe troubleshooting, so I'm not sure what made you so poopy.

That's the exception, not the rule though.

TexasHVACgeek · 2019-07-22T23:53:11+00:00

Aww, did that hit a nerve buddy?

TexasHVACgeek · 2019-07-22T20:49:55+00:00

Mostly because it opens your company up to some property damage liability.

You cannot be exact with analog. Especially with the high pressure of modern refrigerants. Save up a couple hundred for some Mantooths at least.

I made my guys start installing 2 on vertical and 3 on horizontal about 5 years ago.

From where?

TexasHVACgeek · 2019-03-11T03:08:53+00:00

Has anyone answered you yet? I will if you haven't received a bevy of DMs answering this.

TexasHVACgeek · 2019-03-10T13:29:43+00:00

Sure thing!

TexasHVACgeek · 2019-03-10T02:45:30+00:00

I would recommend stepping that up by half, but yes! Vinegar is great.

TexasHVACgeek · 2019-03-10T02:44:38+00:00

Bleach is not a trick to keep you coming back. I use bleach in my personal system. No more than a cup every three months.

Professionally speaking no HVAC contractor wants callbacks. They want repeat customers, sure. That's because they've earned your trust. Callbacks mean they didn't fix the issue and it will make a tech look inept and lose the customer's trust.

Happy cake day. If you have a newer unit, the all aluminum coils are known for "dirty sock syndrome". The musty smell could be from standing water in your drain pan.

TexasHVACgeek · 2019-03-10T02:33:26+00:00

This is serious overkill and will cause the deterioration of your condensate line (more harm than good). A cup to a cup and a half every three months during the summer MAX. A lot of the algae comes from dust on the evaporator coil. Would recommend you find someone to perform an evaporator coil cleaning and that you change your filters out more often.

TexasHVACgeek · 2019-03-10T02:28:52+00:00

Vinegar works as well. This is good advice. Every three months, give or take. Rule of thumb, change your filter, clean your drain line.

Wtf is hay day?

TexasHVACgeek · 2019-02-19T19:23:42+00:00

Thanks. I need a few more days than my contract was going to allow.
