> Danny, the warranty is a fair mark-up on price and a livable labor rate. It
is great when you can couple it with a PM contract.

Yes. Doing the startup end for a commercial HVAC contractor gets me some
sweet PM contracts. 8)

The warranty is originally assigned to the contractor that purchased it. If
you are unhappyt with that contractor, you can have it transferred to
another Trane Contractor for $25

Sure. RCBA048 Coil. RAND048JAZ 4 ton, 13 SEER condenser.

I hardly believe they'll be going belly up any time soon. They've been in
business here for over 35 years. (or is it 40. Don't remember but either
way they are one of the most respected outfits here in town). Just what
sort of labor rates are you using anyway?

There was a hurricane last year in his area....very easy to get good fortune
mixed up with business savvy.

That and with his apparently always pressuring folks about the possible
unavailability of 22 gas or a drop-in by say the year 2015 or somesuch, then
appears he's maybe currently selling them things like hotcakes.

( Prolly still mostly if not all items sold are still running r-22.)

--Don't like it all then suggest start your own fucking hvac business.

OK.... you did get bent over.....
13 SEER condenser with a 10 SEER coil... the coil should have been an
RCHJ-48A2 or an RCFJ-AU4821AC to actually get 13 SEER

My labor rates have not changed in almost 2 years, but your right, I do need
to raise my rates due to the rising costs of parts, materials. fuel,
insurance, utilities, groceries, etc.
