This company pay This is a photo slide show of some very hacked installs and repairs done by a local Phoenix, AZ HVAC company. 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 …

Tell us what you think!

    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.

  4. d16king Says:

    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?

  6. BGreenHVAC Says:

    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.

    The schools in AZ are not that great, it wouldnt suprise me if they were graduates.

    This is some jacked up stuff. No p trap on the primary drain, no float switch in the pan, no supply plenumn on the one unit just flex tied on near the heat exchanger.I can see a no cooling call now because the txv will not open.

  11. windoes98se Says:

    do you mean that the airconditioner will fail with out the capasitor?

  12. windoes98se Says:

    can an air conditioner run without a capasitor?

  13. hackfreehvac Says:

    Thanks. Seems that hacks make it everywhere. We are just blessed with a epidemic of them here in phoenix.

    Nice video, I think i might start snapping some pics of the hack jobs I see daily here in Bakersfield.

  15. dan2135 Says:

    well is what i ment was i run into these types off residential Hacks on commercial jobs posing as journeymen sheetmetal workers, they buy there Union Card and go right to work hack slash hack slash its gross and insulting to Real Craftsman.

  16. hackfreehvac Says:

    I’m in the Union now. But it has less than 1% of the HVAC force within it.
    The current company actually does good at getting hours to do **** right. And the techs are trained.
    That sounds crazy how those guys had that Applebees wired.

  17. hackfreehvac Says:

    Cards?
    Most of these guys have no training except a little on the job.
    The company can take a tech, train him how to SELL hard starts, t-stats and filter. Then send him out on jobs (mostly residential) and never have to prove to anyone that they know what they are doing. They can touch refer, electrical AND plumbing here. Every once in a while a distributor might want to make sure you have an EPA card. And $30 and a little test gets you that.

  18. hackfreehvac Says:

    I didn’t stay there long enough after this stuff to see what happened.
    I was already there trying to make it work when they just installed this.
    They had a half dozen goofy commercial accounts that would drive a tech insane because of the bad access alone.

  19. dan2135 Says:

    fuck man these fucks all payed for there Cards and now install on commercial union jobs man hahah fucken card buyers hahah and the companies love this shit

  20. thebacon1lb Says:

    company just took there money.

    I just can believe people would think half that stuff would work. Packaged unit in an attic? ha, i laughed. No way it will be able to keep up in the Summer. Plus, how much moisture did it create up there? Did mold grow?

  21. thebacon1lb Says:

    Does Arizona have any hvac unions? Here in Chicago that would NEVER pass. I strictly do commercial/industrial hvac/r. My company just took over all 39 Applebees in the Chicagoland area. It took us 2 months to get everything up and running normally. The old company would bypass all the safties. They wired the compress to come on first then when the blower motor came on, the condesor fans came on. I like walking into accounts like this because i get hours and I can prove the customer that the last

  22. hackfreehvac Says:

    Please do. Attach it as a video reply. That would be great from a home owners perspective.

  23. acthetech Says:

    look i currently have an 14 year old carrier 3 ton air conditioner. 3 years ago the old fan motor died and some hackers came. they changed the run cap and the fan and i discovered they left the wires hangin on the fan grill and also the capacitor hangin i will upload my first video soon.

    … And that was done to a historic church in central Phoenix!
