Make me an offer I can't refuse.
Oh, and carpentry is my trade if anyone has any questions. I specialize in reno's.

You cant. Reno's is the ONLY place us tradesmen make money. If your happy with the layout of your system and its a 6hr job, in and out with the air handler you should be under $5K, but I am not sure how big of a unit you need. Plus, I see all the toys you buy your boy! You're loaded Saskabush!ODB wrote:Ok serious question...CFP! wrote:
I'm a HVAC guy, mainly residential if anyone dares to ask a question....
I want to get a new top of the line furnace, air conditioning unit and a HEPA filter system installed. That part is easy! Where things get tricky is... I don't want to pay for any of it! Any ideas? Tips on how to rip off HVAC guys?!?!
Now that depends if I'm drinking during or after the job takes place.Aaronp18 wrote: Exactly how much beer is required to finish a basement??
As for the runs into rooms, you need to know the sq ftg of the rooms to calc the size of heat in the room, thus the size of the pipe/ducting. Depending on the amount of rooms and sq ftg you then make a reccomendation for the size of airhandler/hp to the client, and hopefully they want a quality system otherwise you end up putting a couple of 4" runs in the living room when they should have been 6" etc....RoyalDude wrote:
Yes, 'Forced Air'. Were considering radiant floor heating cause owner was considereing finished concrete flooring but architect talked client out of it. It's a rancher and the mech area will be in the new addition crawl space whereby we will pour a slab. Some parts of the existing crawl has dirt some has concrete. Client wants existing crawl to be all slab. Should be done before HVAC/Plumbing system is started. How many rooms? 6 around there. Do you know costs on the different types 'efficiency levels' that can be used, from best to poor? I know that is an extremely loaded question without looking at plans.
BTW, currently going through my first experience on a build where an Air to Liquid Heat Pump system is being installed. Man, that's a cool system, bloody expensive. It's taking me awhile to wrap my head around how it actually works.
Well I guess that depend on how picky the wife is about straight wallsBOS wrote:Now that depends if I'm drinking during or after the job takes place.Aaronp18 wrote: Exactly how much beer is required to finish a basement??
Seeing as we're dealing with a basement, it will either be a kids room or a Mans room. So she'll either be chasing the rug-rats around or ne'r be allowed to step foot.Aaronp18 wrote:Well I guess that depend on how picky the wife is about straight wallsBOS wrote:Now that depends if I'm drinking during or after the job takes place.Aaronp18 wrote: Exactly how much beer is required to finish a basement??
Might have to get you to quote on this job CFP. The Architect is consulting with a Mechanical Engineer and hopefully we will have a rough idea of what type of system to put in. Architect is also recommending Heat On Demand system for the water. Curious, you ever worked with the locally made product IBC Boilers and Air Handlers, if so, what's your opinion?CFP! wrote:As for the runs into rooms, you need to know the sq ftg of the rooms to calc the size of heat in the room, thus the size of the pipe/ducting.

Effeciency levels I kida talked about in my last post actually. There are rebates available in BC to upgrade for this type of stuff, need more info on what exactly you mean.
As for the Air to water, thats a cool system but it still invloves refridgerant and basically heats/cools the water @ the boiler and then distrubtes through the house. I'm 98% sure there is another exchanger needed to change the water temp to air but I havent actually installed one of those units. As well, I pretty sure you need a boiler AND and heat pump for those systems. So $$$$$ mega.
To me, the most important part is what you serve and the company you keep. Here's my contribution: You supply some Belgian Tripels and i will supply the company. I wouldn't mind a Blonde as well (answer: yes and yes).BCExpat wrote:I'm in the process of designing and building a bar in my basement. I'm looking at something tropical - like a Tiki bar.

Yes - we have 5 or 6 here and although there is a wait in some rooms, it beats having water tanks any day.BOS wrote:Heat on Demand is great if you have a family that goes through a lot of hot water, as its essentially endless hot water. But if you're expecting instant hot water, or reduced water bills, you're mistaken afaIc.

Sorry RD, have no expience with IBS - I mean IBC boilers and air handlers. Their website looks decent and its nice to see the evolution of effiency but I'm more of a straight up air to air, coil, condensor type of guy. Altho I'd love to get into the fridge side ASAP, bcs IMO I'm in a dying trade much like oil furnace guys.RoyalDude wrote: Might have to get you to quote on this job CFP.
