Everybody complains about Dollar General sites but then leaves sites looking like this and does nothing about the problems they see while they’re there.

Truth is, companies build systems around the effort they get from techs in the field. If guys only do the bare minimum, the client stops expecting more than the bare minimum.

I treat every client like I’m helping out my best friend. I take my readings, check airflow, look for future problems, and communicate what’s coming before it becomes a breakdown. There’s a cottonwood tree about 40 yards away from this unit, so it’s always going to pull some cottonwood into the condenser no matter what. The branches I cut back weren’t cottonwood branches, but they were still restricting airflow around the unit. I’m just trying to do what I can to alleviate future problems and help these systems last as long as possible.

Going the extra mile is what gets clients requesting you by name. It’s what keeps your phone ringing year-round. Good techs don’t just fix what’s broken — they prevent the next problem from happening.

Just care about your job sites. It matters.

Sometimes physics can tell you to screw off. But as professionals we manipulate it. We can add door heaters to bring the door temp above the dew point as a long term fix. 🤙🏼

I don’t know if anybody else does this, I’ve never been shown this in the trade. But I’ve done this now on purpose two times and it has shortened my vacuum times drastically. Typically in my experience, walking coolers/freezers between 18 and 25 pounds take no more than 45 minutes to pull a vacuum, now freezers are a little different. I like to get those down to 300 microns and get as much moisture out of that line set as I can because they get down the negative temperatures. But running nitrogen through the entire parts change out even when I’m putting the filter dryer on the line set has cut down my vacuum times to 25 minutes and even 15 sometimes on those 12 pound systems. The only place that you can go wrong is you have to make sure you have Nilog on your regulator threads to make sure that it’s completely sealed and there’s no ambient air getting inside of there and you have to make sure that you store your nitrogen in the proper temperatures. It all comes back to understanding your job and the more you understand the easier it becomes in the long run and the smoother the job goes. I’d love to hear anybody feedback. 🤙🏼

This is why site maintenance is key!

A clogged condenser doesn’t just reduce efficiency—it starts a cascade that destroys your compressor. When airflow gets blocked, your unit works harder, pulls more amps, and that surge fries your relay and damages your windings. One neglected cleaning turns into a catastrophic failure and a replacement bill you didn’t need. Don’t let that be your system. Schedule your annual commercial maintenance with me and keep your unit running cool. One call now saves thousands later.

Good reminder that the lack of small maintenance like cleaning the coils can turn into bigger problems if they’re ignored.

Walk-in box wasn’t holding temp. Found the evaporator coil completely packed with debris — airflow was heavily restricted. On top of that, the TXV isn’t feeding properly, so that’ll be getting replaced. After cleaning the coil and restoring airflow, we dropped the box temp 6° immediately.

Airflow is critical because the evaporator can’t absorb heat without it. If air isn’t moving across the coil, the refrigerant can’t do its job, and everything starts to fall apart from there.
