Quoted:
My HVAC story. Guy checks it out, runs it up to high head. Then he takes out his clampon ampmeter and puts it on the the compressor leads. Pulls the disconnect and then puts it back in about 2 seconds later. Oh, look! Your unit has high starting amperage! You need a $278 hard start kit!
Um, didn't you just start the pumped up system and show me the locked rotor amp reading. WTF, no thank you.
I've got a better one.
A few weeks ago I come home and check the mail. In the mailbox is a business card of an HVAC company with a note on the back that says "YOUR UNIT IS FREEZING AND IS IN SERIOUS TROUBLE CALL ME"
What stands out about that day is the fact that there was FREEZING RAIN that morning. FREEZING FUCKING RAIN and something outside is ICING UP. NO FUCKING SHIT, how did you ever fucking figure this out o Sherlock Holmes of refrigeration systems?
I was going to call them up and raise hell for trespassing on my property, but the neighbor caught me before I could and told me he was
getting fucked in the ass having some work done that morning and his guy had left the card.
