Me neither
That’s why I’ve avoided the hvac half of meche like the plague

 

@turboTacoMonkey heres a pretty big data center i worked on awhile back rebuilding towers and pumps

 

The comfort cooling side guys seem ok but when a comfort cooling guy trys to do process cooling it gets ugly

 

the TA had to literally hold my hand to try to help me stick weld; we were also only allowed to use dark helmets for that so I think if I'd had an auto mask or something I could partially see I could figure it out. Have not tried since.

sweeeeet. You'd easily be able to work on most of our stuff; one of our better guys game from TRANE years ago; just a bunch of big ass chillers, cooling towers, pumps, and well, mechanical things.

 

oh fuck yah!!! SOOOO BA!! Those chillers are big em boi's -- LOVE IT!!!

 

shit

i dont want it to go to your head but these are better than some fucking parts ive ordered from big names in the 4x4 world

 

I just took a class on Trane tracer and symbio that an ex trane guy at my company taught at our training center

 

I still wouldn’t trust them on a truck unless it was cosmetic but thats just a personal thing for me probably

 

They honestly don't look bad I've seen worse on the hull of a ship

 

Random work photos

 

This is not what I was expecting when I heard you talking about HVAC… Cool shit man!

 

ive seen shit on trail rigs that would probably make you feel like picasso





yes some of the welds im talking about are mine

 

It definitely is one of those things people dont really know how it works. You take it for granted when you can walk into a nice air conditioned space or get ice cold beer at a store. But everything that it takes for that to work and maintain it is insane

 

Baltimore Aircoil Company

They're out of Madera and make these big ass setups for refrigeration and more

I actually went out their and took their weld tests and passed them - was offered a job as a welder with great pay but passed because I didn't want to commute

 

i had a hvac guy out and asked if he wanted to quote me a replacement for my trane central air setup from 2000~

he laughed and told me anything newer was a waste of time and money reliability wise

 

They are an 'employee owned' company and all - great facility to work at for sure

They even do their own water tests to make sure their welded parts are good to go before sending them off

 

I mean new stuff can be just as reliable and save a ton on your energy bill. But i mean if it aint broke dont fix it i guess. Atleast tge guy was honest, ive heard of plenty of horror stories about residential guys up selling customers

 

Yeah they make alot. I like their towers compared to some other brands. I’ve installed and overhauled alot of them
