Guy in Rochester NY caught on Cam causing thousands in damage ripping out $20 worth of copper from an AC unit.
I am once again showing off the silly stuff I've made for my apprentices. This time it's a reclaim/charging/evac hookup practice kit
I do not “weigh” in the charge, I do not “slowly” add liquid to the suction line. I do not check superheat and subcooling. I RAWDOG IT!! I open my valves and blow in refrigerant until l have a 40° coil! If it doesn’t cool off, I simply put away my tools and leave!!
Resident called the police on me..
The dreaded diagnosis: lobster
my view at work yesterday
First time
New employee acquired!
Customers just lost their privilege to watch me work
My tech just got busted.
