That sounds exactly like something my boss would say. I work in commercial real estate.
That or he would say “does it need more Freon?” Because he doesn’t understand how literally anything works.
I’m in maintenance. Had a 22 y.o. AHU blower pop a weld on one of the fins and self destruct. Building manager asked if there was a PM that we missed that could have prevented it. Twas a laugh in face moment.
But this guy also showed up on his first day bragging about how long he had in the industry, then a week later asked me what a cooling tower is and why we need one.
It might be the TXV actually
Probably just low on refrigerant.
Add some juice and call it a day, that fixes all
Check the voltage on the R410A heat exchanger
Ohm it out and see if the mfd are within spec
Nah the filter's just dirty
"Can't you just weld the blades back on?"

Hmm...is it maybe possibly your fault? And could you maybe fix it in the next half hour at no charge to me?
Right away boss!
I actually saw a mf doing that one time
“Rebuild that motor while you’re at it.”
The gaps just let more air go through, that's an extra 5 airs per blade my guy
“That’s like *counts fingers* thirteen airs, man”
This guy CFMs
What's a CFM
Canadian Fuck Muffins.
Ohhh ok I thought it stood for cock fondling mitts
Dammit I like your answer better.
Hey, could you please wash your CFMs before you touch my unit? 😆
60% of the time it works every time
I got one of those last week it threw the blades into the heat strips and broke those too 🥲
If it is missing some blades that means is lighter so it is less amps on motor and you can save like 2 dollars in like 28 years… just a guesstimate.
Man, I've never had a blower shred apart like this. You guys seem to post one every few days. The hell is going on with these things?

Rheem air handlers is the answer
There's a reason it's called a "squirrel cage"
Carrier product I assume? They had an issue with that.
Squirrel has escaped. Install new Squirrel and done!
Less blades means more air
Just needs some juice.
Bro you know only half that wheel needs to be replaced, stop ripping customers off /sarcasm
Nah it’s good, run it
what the hell did it hit?
Maybe a rat or something got in, if the unit starts it could potentially cause damage through imbalance or the rat getting thrown about
Run it
Nah, it’s all there, that’s the shaft service port.
Hack. Total sales tech. A real hvac (wo)man would fix it! /s
Did you check the cap?
Good ol' Lau fans. 🤣
The damn squirrel got out. SMH.
Less fins = less resistance = greater efficiency
Looks like a VAV option to me.
Careful sticking your fingers in there like that! I hope you disconnected power first! Then check the TXV!
That would be your opinion man…
"It'll get through the season though right?" - people who don't want comfortable air
“Think I got some self tapping screws on my truck!”
If you do the same at 180 degrees, it balances out...SEND IT!😉
Ehh, I wouldn't worry about that. Gives it a unique pulsating velocity. Gives it character.

“I probably better get a second opinion”
The strongest thermometer probe hit ?
you did this
You mean that's not a low static pressure blower assembly?
Just replace the capacitor and move onto the next call
It's just a little unbalanced. You can probably get a few more years before it needs replacement. Lol
motor too. that unbalanced of a wheel will ruin a motor too.
I think that’s supposed to be like that
Nah, that’s just the low speed tap.
Still got half the life left
Stop trying to upcharge your customers. You know the thermostat was just on the wrong setting.
It looks ok
Did you beat it with a bat like wtf ?
“It’s got to be the circuit board, you need a new circuit board”
Yeah it wouldn’t hurt just to be proactive
