I've had this commercial account for 13 yrs.....a few days ago I'm out
there doing maintenance and WTF !! there's another ac company van in
the parking lot, & the tech is working on a 20+ yr old hp. Needs a
new CF motor. I nonchalantly bs with him while he's telling me all
the stuff 'wrong' with this pile of crap, besides needing a new CF
motor. He thinks they need a new unit, so I tell him hell yes, tell
the property manager who sent you out here he needs a new unit.
So he trots off, phones in to the prop mgmr, and thats the last I hear
or see of him. Three days later the phone rings, its the prop mgmr,
calling in a service call...........for the very same suite / ac unit.

so the question is......would YOU bend him over & load him like a
shotgun??? He doesnt know I know about the other company being out
there....

I can fix it for $XXX.xx or replace the old POS for $X,XXX.xx

Let him make the decision, this will let him know YOU can fix it or replace
it.

        Who you gonna load for what ? The PM for choosing what vendor
he wnats to call ? Last I heard that was legal. The other tech for
saying 'Don't dump a bunch of money into a 20 year old HP' ? That's
good advice. Which you don't want to give. So you lie to the PM, and
let him waste his money.

        Who exactly deserves to get loaded like a shotgun ?

Paul you are absolutely right that customer
can call anyone he or she wants.
However the old unit if maintain properly
will probably out last the one you purchase today
and you and I know that, yes I know you are not
going to admited.

        And what SEER do you figure it is ( not was 20 years ago, but
IS today ) ?

        How much life do you figure the compressor has left ? Or do
you recommend replacing compressors in 20 year old units ?
