  • Articulate

    Been listening for a long time. 19 years in the industry in northwest Florida. Find myself not only learning new things but finding new ways to articulate things I’ve always known to my employees. Very interesting and informative.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

EPRs and Rack Refrigeration w/ Matthew Taylor
Q: Does the EPR opening and closing affect the TXV or whatever metering device you have on regulating superheat?
The EPR changing pressure will change the PT chart in relation to that superheat, but that superheat will settle to exactly the same setting it was.
EPRs and Rack Refrigeration w/ Matthew Taylor
Q: How often do you change the oil?
It's as needed, not on a regular schedule but should be checked at least once a year.

Q: What issues do you see during cold snaps?
Installation problems often show themselves, particularly undersized ductwork and poor duct design.
HVAC In the Northeast w/ Leo & Paul Sharkey

We are primarily a heat pump company, but often need a fuel-based backup for older homes.
