This is how you have to do it

by Batman
(gothlam city)

I had an estimate for 2300 for just the outside unit so i said i'll think about it mean while i went online to get my epa certification.

It only cost 25 dollars for tech 1 and that is good for less than 5 pds freon units so i bought my unit from ebay 1000 and the pump, recovery tank gauges the hole 9 yards total i have in it is 1400 installed in 1 day.

they wanted 800 for just labor this is a rip off market in the hvac world. Any fool can pass that test and do the work themselves you have to because the idiots in this field think they have one over on you and charge you thousands for a days labor.. ill never call an hvac dude again no thanks charge someone else a thousand for sitting in a chair waiting for a vacuum pump to do its thing..

Idiot (Batman)
by: Amazed

People like you make me think of the hicks my husband saw at the four wheeler trip to Texas where then men had a 50k truck and a $15,000 wheeler and where proud of the $1200 trail they bought to live in.

The smart person hires this work out to someone that actually knows what they are doing. Then use that person for all heating, air ect.... My husband is a major do it yourselfer but the safety of his family comes first not saving a buck.

I have a feeling one day someone will find you in your home with carb poisoning do to something you did yourself and did wrong because you did not have all the facts or training it takes to do the job.

I bet when he was asked about the superheat, His mouth fell open & he hasn't got it closed yet. Sad part about this is that there are a lot of people out there that will listen to his B/S

So....how big is your trailer anyway? Typical dumbass attitude about a/c work.....obviously you are a Walmart shopper with that "how cheap can it get" mentality. No doubt with you training, you will get your monies worth. If I lived near you, I would have busted your ass for not recovering your freon and no permit. By the way, that's a federal offense and a $10,000 fine. Are you still laughing now?

This is not the way to do it

Wait till it breaks or compressor dies , then he will find out that he has NO WARRANTY lol,,, Can't tell you how many folks we get calls on there unit "not cooling" only 6 months old and should be in warranty, till you run the model and serial number and then they fess up and said they bought it on the Internet , and had a "buddy " put it in lol, so you saved 800 bucks , ha ha so you should have no problem paying 1200 bucks for your new compressor that also has NO WARRANTY !!!! Don't do this people!! You will only cost you more in the long run !!

I never cease to be amazed by people who will make decisions only based on how cheap they are and not the facts.

The fact is there are idiots in every field if you just look for them, but the hvac industry is full of highly qualified, hard working individuals who unfortunately as a part of their jobs get to deal with folks just like Mr. "This is how you have to do it".

His comments are spoken truly like someone who has never had to make a payroll, recruit and train people, deal with the public, deal with the local and federal regulations, etc. By the way this is not the way you have to do it.

This is the way to do a really poor installation, put the hvac co. who will have to eventually straighten this out in an awkward position due to the fact that equipment bought online normally has no warranty from the manufacturers,etc.etc,etc.

No need to go on. If this how "you" do it, I'm O.K. with that, but please don't attempt to drag others down that path. As a 30 year hvac professional, I resent the fact that you can go online and get an EPA certification just because you have $25.

This may allow you to buy refrigerant and refrigerant bearing equipment, but it doesn't qualify you to carry my tool pouch.
