    How critical is sizing AC VFD split systems?

    Suggestions to heat my detached garage during winter storms

    If the ceiling is open and roof has any type of vents, trying to heat the garage will be like peeing in the wind. Your just going to burn a bunch of fuel and achieve nothing. Better off building the cats an enclosure with a heating pad or heated bed in it.

    2018 Transit transmission replacement costs

    My buddy sends me pictures all the time of full size transits that end up at their shop for basic maintenance stuff with crazy high miles. Last one he sent me a picture of had over 800k on it. Factory engine but transmission has been replaced. 3.7 V6 Think it was in for brakes or tires.

    HVAC Insiders- Daikin & Goodman

    They really didn't do anything to improve goodman. Its still crap quality equipment. The sad thing is daikin has put their name tag on some goodman equipment. Actual daikin commercial equipment is good. Daikin residential equipment is just re labeled goodman equipment.

    Oreillys commercial accounts are a joke or at least they were when I worked there 10 years ago. Prices were never much cheaper on anything if they were cheaper at all.
