    I'm thinking that is a 98'. If that were an 88' it would have a different furnace section in it. Thankfully Rheem/Ruud has not changed their basic design in a very long time. With the exception of micro channel coils for the ac system

    Hey Curtis,
    You Work real hard & Try to do a nice job i see But, Spraying down a Evaporator Coil with the POWER ON with a Garden hose is Very Dangerous !!!
    Please have RESPECT FOR ELECTRICITY !!!
    POWER DOWN THE UNIT WHEN USING A GARDEN HOSE ON A UNIT.
    WATER & ELECTRICITY CAN KILL YOU MAN !!!
    43 years in this trade. Respect Electricity or it Will Give You a Reminder one Day !!!
    i have Been Glued to a ice machine being slowly killed until i ripped the wires out of the wall.
    it was Painful !!!
    Electricity , Water & Metal --- Made for a Very painful Learning experience.

    How about putting the cost of repairs after each estimate or repair so I can see how much pain everyone else experiences when they see the bill. 😏 My last bill could have bought me a brand new condenser to replace a $35 part. 😭

    Is there a particular reason why instead of disconnecting from the disconnect you pull the wire off the contactor instead? Is it so doesn’t have to go through the reset process or what’s your reasoning behind it

    I have a warranty question. 5 years ago, I had a new Carrier heatpump installed in my mobile home thru an organization in the state of Kansas for low income seniors. Do I have to call the company that installed it for my warranty to cover, what if they're no longer in business. It's all registered and I checked my warranty is for 10 years. Am I able to contact another HVCA company to service my carrier and still have my 10 year warranty honored?
