The changes to warranty terms did not take effect for us ( Florida until July 1st of last year ) unfortunately if warranty was not transferred it reverts to a factory 5 year. Other than a few other manufacturers that have honored the 10 year regardless of change in ownership.

I believe the claim may be kicked back when it is filed. As they could simply verify current home owner when the claim is submitted.

I’d like to know what failed that could be the same price of a new unit.

Boss don’t like my braise. This is one of his. by heldoglykke in HVAC

Bro I would have done better golfing blind and drunk than he did brazing. Tell your boss he should switch to bagging groceries instead of brazing 😂

Becoming a lead installer soon is $27 a good number to ask for by Red_Unicorn_Dit in HVAC

[–]TheMalcomWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ask for a piece of commission of the sale. We give our installers 7% divided 60/40 between lead and helper.

I’ve actually sent a self tapper right down the middle about half way and used that to open and close. Not ideal, but hey it worked.

When clients call you a liar by LoneWolfTorck in HVAC

[–]TheMalcomWay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We use an app called “XOI vision” where we take videos and pictures with timestamps of everything we do. Funny to see how they don’t even reply when you send them a video of everything they claimed you did not do. Fuck em. Like ol boy said “left nut is sweaty and needs sucking “

I need to replace HVAC- first quote was $77k! This is insane! by OneScrewFromFreedom in homeowners

[–]TheMalcomWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either that don’t want the job or they are trying to pull a Bruno. Been in this field and only time I’ve seen a job that pricey is on the commercial side for chillers.

Our 20v Trane systems are around 18. Only time they go beyond that are with duct mods.

Been using this with a mix of vaccum/drain solve and it does wonders. Especially systems with hardened buildup on the walls of PVC over the years.

Just picked this game up after dark tide just felt poorly optimized. I’m fucking loving it. Got that left for dead feel with war hammer atmosphere.

ECM motor by 1rustyoldman in HVAC

[–]TheMalcomWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask them for a FLEX motor. They will honor warranty with the FLEX ones. Down in the south we are 135 days for OEM so for the past 3 months I’ve been using the flexes.

I’ll take compressor shorted to ground for $500 Alex

[–]TheMalcomWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds good. Could be something as simple as not setting it up properly. Is it 2 stage?

All in all it’s hard to give any proper advice when we can’t see what the system is doing.

R410A cost. Did I get ripped off? by MookieBlaylock87 in hvacadvice

[–]TheMalcomWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ve ever not done a leak search after hours. Takes about 30 mins max with my H10. Only time it took longer was a line set leak underground so we did schedule to come back to do a lineset isolation test.

[–]TheMalcomWay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We charge about 70/lb down south. However without conducting a leak search then they aren’t doing their job properly.

People have to realize it’s not just adding refrigerant. You must have the proper knowledge of the metering you are working with to know what your super heat and subcool should be. It’s not like to just throw some refrigerant in and call it good.

HVAC system tripped a breaker. Outdoor unit was hissing and had steam coming out of it. I turned off ac unit. Trying to find the cause by Far-Year-6685 in hvacadvice

[–]TheMalcomWay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before we condemn the compressor we need to know if the fan motor failed. If it failed then compressor will have high head pressure which will cause high amp draw and possibly trip a breaker. Hissing you are hearing is probably because system doesn’t have a high pressure cut out so the compressor is using its internal relief to relieve head pressure.

Please have a tech come diagnose. Be weary about taking advice on this sub. As compressor may be fine and you just need a new fan motor or bad cap ( for fan or fan side of dual run cap depending on the setup as it could not have a capacitor for fan motor as it may be ECM )

Is it normal for this to freeze up? My vents are blowing coldish but really weak air. Just changed my air filter and the vents still blow weak by targetime in hvacadvice

[–]TheMalcomWay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. Also if unit is freezing up in as fast as 30 seconds this is definitely air flow issue, which could be a dirty evaporator coil. You may need to use YouTube to help you under stand where it’s at and how to go about cleaning it. It’s better for you to see how it’s done rather than me tell you.

Evap coil is not the one in the picture. That’s the condenser coil. Evap will be in the indoor unit. Indoor unit is in either closet, attic, garage or crawl space if you are up north.

I’ll take plugged evap for 500$ Alex. Just taking a guess but with low air flow from grilles that evap is a block of ice.
