This company pays the techs COMMISSION based on the “revenue” they bring in. That’s why these “salestechs” would just do the quickest and sloppiest work you will ever see! AND they will sell the customer a bunch of USELESS junk like Surge Supressors and Zerol Ice and have NO CLUE how to properly diagnose the REAL problems! The Inistallers are NOT paid by the hour. They are paid “Piece Work”! That means they got a fixed price to change out HVAC equipment! Do you think they will take the time to do the job properly? To code? Heck. The installers were not even TRAINED to install much of the equipment that the company was selling! The commercial work was completely out of their league. Yet the company would take commercial jobs just to go after the almighty dollar! During regular meetings and training. The techs at this company were never given any real TECHNICAL training to properly diagnose and repair the HVAC equipment. Nope! They were only TRAINED in “How to talk to the customer” so that they could sell Zerol Ice and other “Gimmicks”! This company is also being featured in a local Arizona HVAC/R newspaper for the “BBB Ethics Award”! What a crock of shit! The BBB is as worthless to a customer as Zerol Ice is for your Air Conditioner!
im glad ill be using swamp cooling when i move to AZ!
This is sad but true. I will share this with all.
well i have to agree with all of the scewed up installs there except 1.The one about the comp. bolts missing…If you would have took the time to read so manuals u would see that the comp bolts are just there for shipment and that if u have a noise issue can be removed to get the noise level down if the vibration is coming from them…..
Have had to repair or replace equiptment in the same shape alot
I have seen quite a few nightmares myself and my cell phone is filled with pictures and videos!
Don’t worry folks. With the future of this business going geothermal and mini split, there will be a lot less of a need for shoddy repair and installation work. Just remember that there is so much low EER equipment and laughable installations that we are really in a great industry for the comming “green” bubble. Enjoy!
of course! there HAD to be the idiotic comment like always,thanks for the tip ignoramus
that was hilarious
aint nohing wrong with using cable ties to put on a tx valve bulb just as long as you use 2 and do them tight.
I have seen some shady work from Union workers. Yes I think its better to be union but doesnt always mean your getting better work.
Yeah I am an installer of twelve years. I’ve been off since july. Thats why I am going to school, cause I am tired of sittin on my ass. I didn’t want to give up the 12 yrs. I am gonna add to it.
prepare to work about 75 percent of the time cause its so slow I’ve never seen it this bad, and your job placement counselor doesnt know about the real hvac world , your just a person they want to get out the door, look in the paper,online see how many are hiring this field is saturated with service techs, installers good luck
I am going to Vatterott, thanks for the pointers on the the dont’s.
you cant say just cause they smoked weed in, , , whait, what was i talking about?
I’ve had to clean up several TXVs the installers left the sensing bulbs attached the coil while brazing. It would have taken a minute to take it off and put it back on, but instead it takes me about an hour and a half to replace it.
when i was goin to school ..most of the techs students were smoking weed and crack in class and not paying atention in learning ..thats what happen when u put them in a job …
This what happen when you don’t use UNION workers you get a bunch of wetback Mexicans installing your a/c and stealing your jobs…..Buy American Buy Union because the job you save might be your own!
holy shit @ 1:45
are you kidding?
Great stuff…my only suggestion would be to remember us old guys who can’t read so fast…
Excellent soundtrack.
BGreenHVAC He clearly said it was a mistake.BTW…it’s some of the many issues,NOT…some or the many issues.
Do you people go around the internet,waiting for some one to slip up,and use bad grammar???Most people type so fast they don’t really think about it.If you are such a good speller,join a spelling bee.
I started out laughing,but by the end of the video I was very upset.The 90′s installed on all the drain pans had to be the best though.LMAO Could you imagine all the units that have been changed out due to these hacks misdiagnosing compressors?
Good show about showing some or the many issues out there. But I find it ironic that you mock the uneducated while misusing words.
Piece work not Peace work. There is an enormous difference.
he installs here are as bad. sorry i can’t get videos with my camera to work on movie maker but i will get a new camera soon
holy shit i thought las vegas was bad.
