I was sent here from one of the "girls in skirts" to do a SURVEY of equipment.

After I meet with the mngmnt and get to talking. He's talking about the unit NOT COOLING.

Wait a sec... I'm there only for a SURVEY.
I asked if he wanted it diagnosed. And if the girl let him know the CHARGES?

He said "...no. She said it was no charge to check them out." And that another co had replaced the compressor (again) and it was not cooling like 1 week after the last compressor.

WTF??????? So I said I'd pull the panels and do a VISUAL check (a survey) and see if that gives me any ideas. I had a feeling deep down that a VISUAL would all be that's needed to get an idea...

So first things first. There's is only the BEST up here. A GOODMAN and this GOETTL that should be put to sleep.

Not too mention the 6/12 roof pitch in a area that NEVER snows :(

Yup. Brand stinkin new compressor.

-No filter dryer. What so ever.

-No schrader caps to be found.


I told him the unit was well worn. And that first thing would be a recovery of the refer the HACK left in there. Installing a FILTER/DRYER.
A DEEP vacuum. I figure there is no way he had the care to pull a vacuum if he didn't install a filter.

OH yeah. A piece of inso was sucked up to the blower. It probably froze up.

There was also NO filters on either system. I told him it would need chemical coil cleanings too.

Gave him quotes for what he said he'd need to give to the OWNER of the building.


Doubt I'll be back. But if I do get called back. They better NOT have me only do half of the repairs. And our office better NOT give them coupons for repairs or cut down my quotes. I HATE that shit!


No one seems to get it when I say to BID HIGH or WALK from piece of shit accounts!!! DAMN!






 
you got to love that.. you write up a quote and your boss changes the labor times so you get half the time.........hey that looks like an AC truck pulling out of the lot, what'd you chase him away ?

AC Truck

As I grabbed my Camera. I noticed him sitting there.

It wouldn't surprise me if they just had another guy there. Getting FREE inspections when he should have PAID for me looking at that POS. I didn't even throw on my gauges tho. No more freebee stuff when I can almost be sure I'm wasting my time as it is.
 
That has got to be the biggest disconnect I've ever seen on the end of that building. Looks as big as the rtus.

Maybe the no cooling was a dead horse stuck in the disconnect?

not yet been in the 30's a couple nights. Finishing up our oil pm's starting to get a little busy..... I see much hasnt changed there.
Don't forget to post sxome pix of you digging through the snow :)


And yeah, shit still the same. But finally getting off at around 5PM at the latest this last week. Holy crap. ALmost down to 40 hrs.

But they STILL never say "Go Home" when they are done with us. They say "Stand By incase something comes in".

That always makes me cringe. Why can't they just say, "See you tomorrow"? I'd like to THINK I have a life outside of their co... :p
 
Yeah where im at now they give me all my calls in the morning along with any parts i need. When im done i go home. Its nice sitting at home after work when the sun is still up. I just got a camera... Im putting in a boiler next week...will take some Wall of Pride pics for ya... later

Right on. In Payson I got all my calls in the morning as well. Was nice.

Oh yeah. WalMart has the Kodak for $97 now. Very good camera for the price.
 
Why are you complaining, you can just repel down from the rtu to order lunch. Man you guys got it made!
