Thanks for the offer of help. I do appreciate it.
That said I am over 50 years in the trade with experience in all areas of HVAC-R.
Not bragging just putting out what I have seen.
Yes, the hacks are everywhere. For lack of other well paying positions the service trucks are filled with those who can barely use a multi-meter let alone properly diagnose a sick system.
I find the new pumps to be far more efficient than to older R-22 based systems. Comfort levels are much higher. Reliability is still a question. There is so much more to fail in a pump.
I hate working on one in the dead of winter.
I come across more issues with pumps failing early in their duty cycle than furnaces. Just personal experience.
I have cut way back on our involvement in the field in the last few years as I reach out to retirement. I consider myself semi-retired but until I change my cell number it rings endlessly. We have 2 small outfits staffed with people I trained or just trust that I send out when needed. Still servicing good customers with quality techs.
We operate totally on word of mouth these days. Not all of the folks out there want a quality install or service. They are looking for a quick/cheap fix. We just do not do that.
