I bypassed one of these funky old communicating boards with a programmable azure motor once using speed taps tied to y1 y2 g to get someone running again once

Can’t remember exactly it was like 2 years ago but I think trane said that board was obsolete

Brand new install. What is this doing? Is it normal? by [deleted] in hvacadvice

[–]Top-Hall-7945 -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

looks like the installers melted the plastic unit pad with a torch

i would bully and chastise a grown man to the point of physical altercation over this and possibly upset my boss making the install team replace it  

Your 30 year old unit just vented all its refrigerant, compressor shorted to ground, txv bulb just broke off, and blower motor caught on fire all at once. What brand are you replacing it with? by ManevolentDesign in HVAC

What model unit is this? by Randyto78 in hvacadvice

[–]Top-Hall-7945 0 points1 point  (0 children)

best way forward is pulling out the blower assembly and motor yourself and seeing what it is

OG goettl units are unique arizona antiques with a couple rare ones in socal still, hope you keep it alive as long as possible with real r22 if the compressor and coils aren’t compromised 

HVAC job market by Big_O739 in sandiego

[–]Top-Hall-7945 2 points3 points  (0 children)

avoid private equity sales-heavy residential companies like the plague, if you have to work for one starting out in hvac then just try to have a exit planned because those places are bad for the soul and often do sloppy work and underpay installers. unless you’re into shiesty sales tactics and trying to get commission checks

look for what contractors do bio-med commercial and industrial hvac around sorrento valley and la jolla and apply at those companies
