It's bad enough when you've gotta do warranty work on new equipment. It's worse when they send parts that line up like this coil!

Finally get to mostly fix one of the monstrosities!

This not-so-fine install features a Heil indoor setup with an Amana (Goodman) outdoor unit. Why the mismatch? Who knows. Likely just cheaper. Cheaper is always better and Goodman is the cheapest!

The system in question is a 3 ton unit (color me surprised) on a 2 ton house. Luckily they are building on to help offset some of that insanely oversized situation. Only half again too big! Surely will get the best comfort, efficiency, and longevity possible out of that.🤦‍♂️

Full new duct system and reinstall coming!

Another good news/bad news situation on this fine Sunday morning. Bad news is I didn't get to sleep in or enjoy a full day off. Good news is the air conditioning has been restored at your local grocery store!

Pop quiz: Do you know what any refrigeration system's worst enemy is?

We use dry nitrogen, strict procedures, and the tools below to fight it. This is our evacuation kit. A vacuum pump AND a good micron gauge are absolutely essential tools (probably the most important) to do this job correctly. There are all sorts of set-ups out there that work just fine, this happens to be ours. It does the job quickly and provides the verification we need.

Many people think that the vacuum pump is to pull air out of the lines, and they're not wrong. However, that air contains the mystery assailant, moisture! The reaction of modern hydroscopic oils and refrigerants with the water can form acid inside your system and burn your compressor out faster than you can say "At least I saved $$$ on the install!"

The evacuation (even with our super effective set-up) can take up to several hours. It's one of the most frustrating things to just have to wait for that process to work itself out. Holding below 500 microns is the goal! If it doesn't, there's a leak or moisture present. I don't know about you but I like to eliminate future headaches whenever I can. That extra hour is waaaaay cheaper than a new compressor!

You're not buying an appliance; you're buying the installation.

This is the current big kahuna of leak detectors on the market. If leak detectors were cars, this is a big block '69 Mach 1 Mustang.

A good leak detector (backed by nitrogen, soap bubbles, and good refrigeration practices) are essential tools of true HVAC service companies.

If you don't have these, you're not welcome on our race track. Go find a go-cart course and stay in your lane.

Kinda disappointed she'd rather be a nurse than follow in her uncle's footsteps! I'm trying to get over it. Truth be told, the HVAC lifestyle isn't all glitz and glamor like Hollywood portrays it to be.

True story: An older gentleman beat on my front door at 8:00 am one Sunday morning a few years back. It was a ground source heat pump that needed water added to the ground loops and a splash of refrigerant every year. Every. Year. Sunday morning, 8:00 am...

Anyway, congrats to our graduates! Actively pursue the life that you think you want with everything you've got! It's okay if it takes longer than others or you end up taking a different path than intended. Get out there and get it! Also, don't bother people at 8:00 am on a Sunday and expect a pleasant response.

Rare thing occurring Sunday, May 17, 2026. We are fully closed for the day. You'll have to wait till next week. A family member is graduating high school! This requires the boss man's support for one of his favorite nieces! She's also the only applicant, and thusly the only recipient of our annual scholarship for tradespeople. She's the 5th to receive it. Spread the word that it's out there!

Also, I need to bother my sister in ways only a good brother can.

Hard to beat an attic on a warm Saturday morning!... said no one, ever.

I'd like to be on my couch contemplating what things I could be accomplishing or not accomplishing at my own house. Alas, it was not meant to be. I have good, loyal customers that I've made promises to and I'm going to follow through! Also have a few that have called in last night or already this morning that will be getting taken care of. I'm their guy. No calling around to see who will get there first or who is cheaper. Just a known, trusted relationship.

Local people doing business locally is the only thing that keeps small towns alive. Spread the word to those that need to hear it.

This set of Fieldpiece probes is about as handy as a shirt pocket!

We can measure refrigerant pressures, refrigerant temperatures, return & supply air temperatures, return & supply air humidity, total static pressure in the duct, and actual total system capacity; simultaneously and in real time! These probes connect via Bluetooth to a tablet and can monitor what the ENTIRE system is up to in an instant. Unbelievably handy!

We use these for some service calls but mainly they're for commissioning new equipment. We can dial it in perfectly with this set up to help ensure you get many years of quiet, efficient comfort!

I'm not joking at all when I say we do a far better and more thorough job. Every detail, every time.
