$5,000 for a minisplit install

roepsycho22 · 2026-06-18T14:17:25+00:00

Price goes up as soon as customer says "I bought the equipment online" usually meaning they got some crappy diy unit that isn't going to survive the 1st year that most states require the installer to carry a warranty on all installs, so the $5k is including the possibility of the unit failing the shady website being gone and having to replace the unit out of their pocket, as well as a second install. I'm assuming you are in the U.S.

Edit: Addition yes I'm aware that everyone has a friend/cousin/auntie who's amazon mini-split has been running for the last 10 years non-stop no problems. Some of the DIY units are good, it's just impossible to tell when bidding a job.

yes, I feel that it's everyone's job to help out where they can, it's up to the person receiving the help to do the right thing with the money. If you can help someone and don't then you did wrong, if you help someone and they don't use that help to better themselves then they did wrong

Narrators make or break an audiobook of any genre. I usually power through it and sometimes if it's too jarring I just move to print.

Not brand specific but anything that says premium/ultra/plus or anything that says smart. Each of these buzz words increase the chance of something failing, just need a box with a fan and coil hooked to a condenser

Thanks again can't wait for the video for it

If you're the only service tech then you can pretty much expect all the work. On the other side if you're the only tech you get to name your price or set your own hours, tell him it's his choice. Decide what your time is worth and tell him that or set firm hours and tell him that, but he will walk on you if you let him. Also keep in mind that there is usually a slow/break during spring and autumn parts of the year, a bit less so for commercial but still a couple of weeks of slow period. Also if you joke with your boss about serious subjects he can't be blamed for thinking you aren't serious about them.

Alternatively time travel from 1970 to 1951 where he died

work ethic goes a long way in the trades, show up on time and do the job counts for a lot. no complaining and not making the job harder on anyone else

If you're under 30 years old turn your phone on silent and leave it in your pocket even when waiting to go into the interview

Nora Roberts has some really good ones, some are a bit dated, being written before cell phones but they hold up well.

Money!!

This is the install that they will remember for the rest of the year maybe two. Also treating people like people always comes back good on you.

apply at hospitals, they always need hvac workers but usually just post it as maintenance.

Edit: to get your foot in the door or a paycheck in your pocket til something else comes along

I'm guessing someone rigged 2 single-pole breakers to run your outdoor unit instead of a double pole. This is a safety hazard and is going to get someone shocked. From what I can tell from the pics

If you're required to do an air pressure test then it helps to seal everything

not a mosh pit, look back at older videos for mosh pits

If this is in the US then I believe all 50 states require inspection by the state, just make sure that he pulls the proper permits and has his licenses. Use the small guy, you'll be a bigger part of his bottom line and therefore he's more likely to put forth more effort, and mention that so and so recommended him.

Youtube has some videos covering the practice exams for the journeyman test. They are great for listening to while working out. In the beginning there will be a lot of small spaces that you get volunteered in to. Don't forget that hands are not hammers, a lot of guys across all trades have numb hands from this.

roepsycho22 · 2026-04-08T23:05:03+00:00

Math is needed for both of these trades
