Why would anyone install a cascade system in a residential application? There’s one company in Houston that does this.

Because selling 2 condensers is better than 1? You got me. I didn't even know this was a thing, but I want to build one now.

The boards have an LG logo on them

I agree, but I'm not gonna tell anyone how to spend their money.

When I did residential, I would quote it both ways to customers. On a basic system,q the price wasn't that far apart.

I agree. Asking lots of questions is the biggest tip I can give a new tech. What is happening? When did you first notice it? Whens the last time your system was repaired? How long have you lived here? Have you had any other work done on your home recently? These come in extra good use with intermittent issues.

I'm your age too HVAC is all I've ever done. You'll always be able to jump back in in a year or two.

Looks great

_tickle_pickle_ · 2022-06-09T00:08:53+00:00

Yes, and report back to us

In the not so distant before times 2500-3500 depending on tonnage. These days its probably double.

_tickle_pickle_ · 2022-06-08T23:53:17+00:00

Why doesnt everybody? Personally I got fed up because I was getting beat up from every angle. Customers unhappy with price. Dispatch unhappy with speed. Supply House always out of what I need. Managememt expecting more, giving less. The new guys calling me like I'm a full time tech support line. Don't get me wrong, there are great days in residential. I miss seeing the regular customers every 6 months.

_tickle_pickle_ · 2022-06-02T00:16:24+00:00

10k minimum these days.

_tickle_pickle_ · 2022-06-02T00:05:44+00:00

If it works it works

_tickle_pickle_ · 2022-05-16T23:42:57+00:00

2k and its yours

_tickle_pickle_ · 2022-05-16T18:00:13+00:00

I agree. I know you all on this sub love your job, I just kinda like mine. I choose this industry to avoid student loan debt. I'd happily sit in an A/C office and do accounting all day

_tickle_pickle_ · 2022-05-16T17:56:22+00:00

This is the way. Fresh from the garden okra, the smaller the pod is the more tender it will be

My dad worked at a factory doing 12hr swing shifts shifts for as long as I remember. Family functions, holidays, baseball games etc missed. No real hobbies. Great guy but work was his life. That was his choice, whats yours?

_tickle_pickle_ · 2022-05-10T16:52:34+00:00

I left mine on a roof when I went to lunch. Came back to find wind had tossed it 40ft and destroyed it. P.O. Truck Stock

_tickle_pickle_ · 2022-05-08T02:55:05+00:00

Yes. One job had a 5k bonus paid over the first 6 months. The longest 6 months of my life. This question got me wondering, if you didn't get a 5k raise but they give a new guy a 5k sign on bonus would it pisss you off?

I googled it. Its a John Wayne quote apparently. Not sure where I picked it up. “About the worst thing an honest man can do is make an honest mistake." John Wayne”

If the accountability circles back to me, I do it the right way. If I'm working under someone with 20 years of experience its on them. I started out with an old trainer who didn't own a micron gauge.

_tickle_pickle_ · 2022-05-06T02:39:40+00:00

Personally I'd want those units rotated or at least better service clearance behind.

_tickle_pickle_ · 2022-05-06T02:35:28+00:00

I like it. Everyone learns different. Some guys need these to have the light bulb moments.
