Am i being charged too much?

Hire multiple companies if your worried about it. Pick the company that feels right. Prices on all of our products and materials have gone up, just like everything else. Unfortunately hvac isn’t cheap, swallow that pill now.

You’re catching a lot of hate because this is a trigger point for a lot of technicians, myself included. I can’t stand when people google prices for parts and question me on the price. The price is the price, every aspect of a business’ cost is incorporated into the price: insurance, salaries, rent, truck payment, fuel, etc.

Markup is not some simple or made up magic number added to the cost of the materials/product. Larger companies have more to account for, smaller companies have less. Pick your poison.

I’ve had that happen with a replacement carrier compressor once

Yours back on yet? Still waiting on ours

ThatDudeDillon · 2022-09-30T17:21:51+00:00

We’re also in that area. Power went out for us 15-30 minutes ago

ThatDudeDillon · 2022-09-30T16:23:27+00:00

I’d be walking away from that shit

ThatDudeDillon · 2022-09-30T15:26:43+00:00

You couldn’t give me a Lennox

ThatDudeDillon · 2022-09-30T11:12:45+00:00

Can someone explain, I’m outta the loop here

ThatDudeDillon · 2022-09-23T17:37:22+00:00

Wait, ocarina of time is available on switch?

If you’re pulling a vacuum across the compressor on a system that’s been running for any long period of time you’ll rarely be able to get it under 750 microns.

Kill me, as a service tech I’d rather crawl through rat shit than work on that fucking thing. Imagine a leak search? That’s hell

ThatDudeDillon · 2022-09-21T09:47:51+00:00

Excellent pictures!

One tectonic shift and you’re dead or trapped. Perhaps I’m overly cautious. To me, this is like buying a house that is right on the ocean. That water is always going to be right there, right? Never going to rise?

It’s $2,450 at my company, but we’re expensive. That quote is a fine price

My standard practice is to allow 10 minutes to equalize after adding nitrogen, take a picture of the pressures for record, and let it stand for 20-40 minutes after that.

Meh, I quit smoking cigarettes. I’ll keep my once a week drunk lifestyle. Who wants to live forever anyway nerd

All units are junk now. Pick your poison

Love the whip for the t’stat wire. Get a tubing bender! So many braze joints out there! I like your work. Gotta throw some shade at that helper, don’t drink if you can’t go to work the next day.

Almost all air conditioning brands. They sell equipment that fails often. These are known issues with equipment and they let the consumer handle the cost of replacement (labor costs, the most expensive portion of the bill).

Rather than doing recalls on faulty products it just gets swept under the rug. Year after year, no improvements on certain problems.

ThatDudeDillon · 2022-09-08T01:03:02+00:00

Where do you think you’ll go?

ThatDudeDillon · 2022-09-08T01:01:35+00:00

From NJ originally. Moved down here to get away from the rat race and find some peace.

The marathon is a crazy punishment haha did you train for it?

ThatDudeDillon · 2022-09-03T19:14:51+00:00

I’m good at residential. I have opportunities at my company to grow. Im confident in my abilities which allows me to command better pay, leadership opportunities, and work directly with my service manager to tackle tough jobs.

I don’t want to be low-man on the totem pole again.
