    You should get into pharmaceutical HVAC, some of it's maintenance, ac units, chillers, old / modern ahus, balancing cleanrooms, labs, some c+q, some design consultation, some qualification work on lab stuff, gloveboxes, msc's and whatnot. I'm quite like you, I get bored easily. There's enough variety in what I do to not get bored, so far anyway. Got bored with architecture, got bored of being broke being a barista, pro or otherwise there's no money in it, but this so far is interesting. There'd be less electronics involved which I would like more of but so far Im happy. 6 years in it's the longest career I've had so far.

    I worked on this exact same style of model yesterday. Almost the same issue with only lighting across the first few burners and stopping. Mine ended up having a capacitor directly above them pop and leak it's gel all over the center couple burners and the gel blocked off the burners. Lol

  • @elBusDriverKC
    @elBusDriverKC Před 6 měsíci +1

    I work on tons of those lennox units. I keep a box cutter knife with me as they work great to clear the cross over fins and allow the gas to run all the way to the last burner. Good call on the ignition module. Those old blue boxes are junk. And on the note of the testo manometer, I had a terrible time with my drifting off to infinity. Had to return it. Still have the old UEI EM152. It seems to just keep on going.

  • @BrickTop900

    What is the reasoning behind not using copper for gas in the USA? Is it some protectionist policy to give steel workers jobs?

    • @HVACRSurvival
      @HVACRSurvival  Před 6 měsíci

      Natural gas will make the copper plate and flake then that gets in the gas valve and can causes a potential catastrophic failure. Copper can only use on liquid propane.

    • @BrickTop900
      @BrickTop900 Před 6 měsíci

      This is very interesting as we pretty much only use copper for commercial gas - high rise installs may be 6” + and it’s pretty common on old residential installs with no issues - these have mostly moved to multilayer pex.
