The Official Status Update Thread: Part 41 - Tomorrow Never Dies

You do realize what they do for a living... right?

I think they know about Furnaces and AC Units and pry know a lot of other people that do too.


That's like offering advice to John Moses Browning on machine guns

yeah, but you can't go to lowes and buy an A/C compressor. You have to be a licensed refrigeration tech to buy the components. I am and I can. Sorry for asking a few questions and try and help. I guess the can just suffer then.

Westside, I think it was great that you were trying to help.

I didn't realize that you had to have a license to buy A/C parts. Learn something every day on INGO.

Just meant I'm sure they know a few people that can get those parts and probably any parts they might need.


Geez, be a drama queen about it.

It's bout 20 years old.
Daddy's been help'n it along for the last couple years. I think it's pry just time to get a new one

If you know what you want, and want to do the install yourself I can see what I can get and at what prices.

I've just been given permission from my wife to drive our minivan to work tomorrow. I will be SO glad to get a car.

it's because of the refrigerants some systems use are CFC's. so you get a certification to reclaim them from the system for proper disposal. As a result most supply place wont sale you anything unless they have your reclamation certification on file. (well at least the three in indy I buy parts from)

Good news is you take the test once pass it and the certification is good for life.

 

[Westside]

newer systems all use HFC (good for the envioronment) refrigerants. down side is they run at much higher pressures than the CFC's. not really good or bad other than they are not compatible without retrofitting the system.

also the old CFC's are getting expensive to try and force people to the new stuff.

And I was just trying to figure out what part it is and offer my help if they needed it.

you do realize I live less than a mile from where they work so dropping a part of too them on my way home is really easy to do.

Here's something weird. I called my insurance company today to check the rate on the car I want. I was driving a 12 year old pick up truck. The car I want is newer and its a GT with a 6-speed and a sunroof. Turns out the car is actually a few bucks cheaper to insure than the truck.

Sounds like it'll save you all kinds of money

Thanks, I'll let Daddy know.

I had the same thing happen. Not as many years difference between my RAM 1500 and my Mazda, but a LOT cheaper for the newer car.

Congrats

 

[Suprtek]

Its just really surprising that a sporty car is cheaper than an old truck. Especially since I also have two teenagers on my policy.

Maybe they thought that you were racing your truck at the Kentucky Speedway???

my agent told me the cost and availability of parts has an effect on the cost of insurance.

Also, when you look at the top 20 stolen vehicles, there are lots of trucks on that list.

Well it did have a V8 engine, but it had 4 doors and a trailer hitch, not wide tires and a spoiler!
