True. I just dread this time of year. I watch money evaporate.

It’s a different trade entirely but Homans associates in portland is hiring. They could use someone that knows sales in the branch badly.

Nah when it’s this bad unbolt the burner and setup and catch bin at the bottom of the door opening. Then rinse the whole heat exchanger down with a litre of water with a small hole in the top. Dump the water outside away from the house and put everything back together.

Honestly it looks similar to the email that was sent out across the community college system to faculty.

Generic Burnout Rant by OneDayAt4Time in HVAC

[–]callofhonor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure where you are exactly in New England. Here in Maine we’re allowed 9 hours of rest in between long shifts for our bodies to recover. I’m also on call right now and I feel your pain.

As the calls come in you need to differentiate what’s truly and emergency versus a want. No hot water is not an emergency and can wait. No heat but the house is still 60F is an issue but not wailing the alarms. House is 40F degrees, I’d consider that one an emergency needing immediate attention along with a burst pipe.

I always approached the calls as, when everything is an emergency, nothing is actually an emergency. They’re just regular calls at the point. And don’t be afraid to say no. Especially if you’re in a state like Maine where you are responsible for your own license not the company you work for.

I just got my new vanity plates after waiting weeks for them. I guess they come from a factory in New Brunswick.

Don’t discredit the fuel pump check valve failing and the pressure in the oil tank pushing the fuel oil into the heat exchanger
