furnace question for HVAC guru's....

No, because he's making $25 plus an hour (with no headaches). LOL

What parts would you like to see?

The whole install.

Sheet metal work Utility hook ups Vent terminations

Chop, chop, lets get this ball a rolling.

That job was inspected?????????

By who? Pee Wee Herman?

The list of code violations is long! And you didn't even show the complete installation.

"Holesaw? Hell naw! We got one-um dare Saw's-All's!" :-)

-zero

Hook, Line and sink :)

Here are the real pics

A used van is

For one guy?

Remember my sample only represents 15 service calls and 3 installs per month and an average of 8 working days. Imagine if the guy worked full time or installed more than 3/month

In all fairness I can appreciate the costs associated with a shop and several employees.

Try about 11mpg. And do you figure 1 trip for each furnace install? All of the equipment and misc materials just show up?

$1200 annually doesn't begin to cover replacement and new acquisitions for a single tech.

Huh? So you're talking about a moonlighter. I thought you were talking about someone in business. My mistake.

Most of the costs exist whether you have one or several employees. In fact, the per man hour OH costs are GREATER with one person than several. The base on which to spread the OH over is much smaller.

for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet he didn't even get a reach around.

Work like that has got to make a guy proud.

He will be lucky if the one-man hacker doesn't see these pics on the world wide web and file a libel/slander suit against him for displaying this work.

That's not much better:

Used old gas c*ck No required drip leg Union is installed wrong PVC hangers, they add a nice touch :-( Did he rub half of them in the mud before installing them? Cuts stud to run condensate, true sign of a hack! What's up with the vent terminations? Sheet metal must look like s*it, the aluminum pressure tape sure does. :-(

Do I need to go on? I think not, come back in a few months when it breaks down so we can say "we told ya so" LOL

So a one man band isn't supposed to get sick, or have holidays or retirement or medical/dental??? Don't forget that the one man band pays 28% of his income to the feds and another 3 - 5% to the state. Gee that $15/hr just turned into less than $10/hr.

Drain trap?? we don' need no steenkin trap.

guru's is the posessive form. Guru's what? Guru's dog? Guru's computer program?

gurus is the plural form. More than one guru.

Anyhow, I did have a glance at that slide show. My sense is that install wasn't really done in accorance with the instructions. I saw a couple things wrong, and I'm sure other folks will see more than I saw.

Christopher A. Young You can't shout down a troll. You have to starve them. .

I don't doubt that for one minute! LOL

Yes, I want to hear it all

Thanks for the comments, see mine in your text

Nothing seriously wrong though.
