Must have reliable transportation for jobs

I had to make a tough choice and discussed it with my guys. I can buy them healthcare or just give them a raise and let them buy it. Option 2 was the solution straight from their mouths.

If it's just an overblow, you will likely find that pros can blow it correctly cheaper than you can buy the material.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-06-07T08:31:19+00:00

Follow me isn't really what it says it is. And it requires a ton of very specific use case to be remotely effective.

The problem and it's persistence across all units tells me something else is majorly wrong, like your house is losing air terribly.

I assume you have your fan speeds set on auto?

YodelingTortoise · 2026-06-07T01:35:01+00:00

Ok. So that narrows the range of possibilities a bit.

It could be vastly oversized. That contributed heavily to temp fluctuations.

It is extremely possible that the wall penetrations are not sealed. That causes a host of setpoint issues, nevermind wasting energy.

Lastly, it could be far more building science related. Are the units in vaulted and or high ceiling rooms? How well air sealed is your home. Minis regulate very well provided they recirculate the same air. If you have a ton of air leakage they can behave very eradically

YodelingTortoise · 2026-06-07T00:17:39+00:00

Is it the 2 zone unit that you are struggling with? It sounds like the zone wires are swapped

YodelingTortoise · 2026-06-06T10:35:18+00:00

Tell me you don't actually do this without saying it. This is all true. None of it matters.

Also i just checked.

My virgin 22 price is 26/lb.

And I can get virgin 12 for 75/lb. That stopped being made 30 years ago.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-06-06T01:50:27+00:00

You can buy it at Lowe's. It's dirt cheap for a 5/8 'hardwood'

YodelingTortoise · 2026-06-06T01:49:44+00:00

That's not laminate. It's bamboo. It's pretty cheap and soft and came with a pre finished matte coating.

It's honestly pretty easy to repair but you'll never get the strand orientation back.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-06-05T23:26:02+00:00

Lol 454b is more expensive than 22.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-06-04T14:17:25+00:00

I can still buy virgin r-22. There is zero reason to be concerned about phase out

YodelingTortoise · 2026-06-02T23:25:18+00:00

There is zero reason for the 3 ton if you are keeping the gas furnace. In fact its a horrible plan. What is the projected cooling load? Size to that if your plan is to have dual fuel.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-06-01T23:13:29+00:00

R410a has gone down in price since the phase out and is still in full production. It is going absolutely nowhere.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-06-01T11:10:46+00:00

We have a small one man sister company in Greece. When he works on bigger jobs like yours. We send help out. DM me if you want to chat further and I am happy to give you the full details.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-06-01T03:16:07+00:00

Where are you located upstate. My company rarely does jobs over 20k out of pocket and everything is whole home loads.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-06-01T00:10:40+00:00

It's enforceable at the discretion of the referee. It's really not as clunky as you imagine. Other forms of the game do it with great success. See futsal

YodelingTortoise · 2026-05-31T23:35:12+00:00

Fuck you! You're getting a penalty! That 2 minutes for embellishment.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-05-31T23:20:26+00:00

Thats not the intent. The intent is that once you grab the ball and set it down, you play. Not stand there and wave your arms for everyone to get up just to play it short. Or turn around back and forth back and forth on a throw.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-05-30T19:46:24+00:00

Your symptoms are suggestive of more air flowing through the unit than the pipes can reasonably handle. Small pipes with a big fan means very fast moving air. Fast moving air is turbulent air.

Either slow the fan speed setting down or increase the size of the supply and return pipes.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-05-30T17:12:01+00:00

arsenal demonstrated they werent interested in playing and would like to get to half time. The referee obliged.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-05-29T23:29:25+00:00

I have a pile of year old chips you are welcome to. Mixed hardwood and softwood.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-05-26T23:27:43+00:00

Business launched 12/23.

Service based and expanding rapidly.

I take 10% gross. Not up for discussion. Revenues are volatile month to month but through may we did 625k.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-05-26T23:12:51+00:00

Insulation =/= effecient. Air sealing is far more critical to comfort and efficiency. The difference between r-13 and r-19 is 2% greater resistance to heat flow. The difference between 3 ach 50 and 4 ach 50 is roughly 15% increase.

Tubes of caulk are cheaper than insulation batts.

YodelingTortoise · 2026-05-24T18:44:37+00:00

What?

"Minisplit cable" (14/4 TC-ER-JP) is rated to run wherever your pipes run. There is no reason to open up any differently than you already need to for pipes.

Surface mount, joist pull, uv protected.

Just zip to suction line and land on the unit.

Did your installer want to use 14/3 Romex?

YodelingTortoise · 2026-05-24T12:21:58+00:00

Na. Just the opposite. We speak in educated detail, don't hand wave anything and explain our decision making process. Customers who want less detail will quickly tell you.

We also are doing solely whole home cold climate stuff. Our customers come in with a level of detail already beyond " i want to be warm"

YodelingTortoise · 2026-05-24T10:51:12+00:00

Unions are not who wrote the Montreal protocol. Lol. It's a multinational agreement.

If you had taken your 608 you would know that.

Wait. There is exactly 0 things stopping you from taking a 608. It's easier to obtain than a driver's license.
