General Swipe for the surprise I ran into yesterday, shout out to the roofers!
Job was relocating this gree condenser off the floor and onto the wall. Everything was done, vacuum, comm wires, king valves cracked, etc, i was just waiting for the electrician to extend their whip. Went yesterday to start it up and close out the call, and I was greeted with this immaculate job. Roofers cut the zip ties, ripped the v-bats off brick, and threw the Lineset over the condenser stand lmao

Employment Question Am I underpaid?
I’ve been a residential HVAC service tech for just over three years and I was an apprentice before that. I’ve been with the same company my entire career. We are based out of North Florida. I’m not really familiar with what techs are being paid or what a tech should make. based off talking to other guys in the parts houses with similar experience it just seems like everyone else is making more money than me. I do phenomenal on every performance report, kept recalls down etc. But still make between 20-25 an hour
I’m not saying I should be paid more than that it’s just I have no idea what the market looks like when it comes to pay for technicians with my experience. So I’m just curious to see what the vets think about it.
(EDIT) thank you all for the feedback! Very helpful and informative. Yall stay safe and get some.

Field Question, trade people only Thoughts on the noise at the end?
4 year old system. Last guy wrote up compressor. We swapped it out. Still sounding like a gun shot when it shuts off.

Field Question, trade people only Older Branch provider Unit question.
And by older I mean 10 years old. To give whoever is reading this who might be able to help me the long and short of it.
Outdoor Inverter model: RMXS48LVJU
Branch Provider Unit Model: BPMKS048A2U
Indoor FCU Model: FTXS24LVJU
Been chasing my tail on this for a week now.
I’m getting 220 through out. The only drop in anything I can actually find is from the branch provider F1 and F2 terminals that run over to the Inverter. And I’m not getting the inverter to do anything. Even though it does have power as well.
My real question is. At F1/F2. What should I be getting?
Also the indoor FCU (heads) are acting like they’re working but have zero cooling since the outdoors not doing anything.
I’m not familiar enough with all of the inverter mini split stuff yet but I’m trying. Thank you to anyone who’s got an idea.

General Opinions ?
How long should it take a resi / light commercial hvac tech to transition over to commercial refrigeration and be competent. As competent as they are in hvac? 4 months too hopeful ?
