Air conditioning is civilization in a box. The globalists hate that almost as much as they hate cars https://t.co/7FXA8XTsMa

Listen to my words. I’ve been an HVAC mechanic for a long time. What I’m seeing now VS even ten years ago is a crime. Parts are trash, equipment is too. It was bad during Covid, everything was shut down, it was understandable. But it’s worse now. I get a new part, I cross my fingers that it’s going to work. 75% of the calls I get are on equipment 5yrs old or less. Engineers have stuffed so much superfluous electronics and sensitive parts into these units, supposedly for efficiency, that constantly fail. We’re now mandated to use a new refrigerant, meaning the old equipment is not available any more, and the cost per pound for the new stuff is more than double. If you have one of these old girls at your house, you better hope and pray your compressor stays ok because this is a tank and will run forever. There are 4 parts in this unit. A fan, a capacitor, a contactor, and a compressor. I can get any of these parts (minus the compressor) off any shelf in town. In fact, I carry replacement parts for this unit on my truck. The new unit? Idk how long it might take to get your specific motor or circuit board, or whatever. This is largely due to offshoring and regulation. The parts and equipment are made by corporations, where every person from the janitor to the chairman of the board is an employee drawing a check. The CEO only cares if this quarter’s sales are good. If the company goes under, who cares, he moves on to another CEO job somewhere else. And the regulations? The theory is that we can and should make things more energy efficient. Great, except that the steps it takes to make something energy efficient also make it fragile. Now you can expect to see a service guy every year or two. Just one of the many symptoms of a broken system. A degenerate age. A dying civilization. I’m doing my best on my side of things, but something must be done. It’s a fucking shame that we can’t make anything of quality any more. Greed and corruption on every level.
