I'm just an extra regular guy who loves the outdoors, sports, and not doing anything. I push the like button too much.

Ok, here’s my corporate greed call-out of the day.

I was dispatched today for a no-cool call. The indoor unit was running, but the outdoor unit wasn’t.

The system was a 10-year-old Bryant Evolution high-end variable-capacity inverter system. After running the factory diagnostics, I found Code 77, indicating the inverter board was detecting excessive compressor startup current.

Following the manufacturer’s diagnostic procedure, I disconnected the compressor leads to determine whether the fault was in the compressor or the inverter board. The results confirmed the inverter board had failed. The system is only 8 months out of warranty.

At that point, I started preparing myself to tell the customer the repair would probably be around $1,500–$1,900. I figured the board would cost somewhere in the $800–$1,000 range. After all, it’s just a printed circuit board.

Before giving the estimate, I called Carrier Enterprise for pricing.

$8,900.

Not for the entire outdoor unit.

Not for a complete system.

Just the inverter board.

That’s not a typo. $8,900.

In my opinion, this is the definition of engineered obsolescence. There is no reasonable justification for a replacement circuit board on a 10-year-old residential HVAC system to cost nearly nine thousand dollars. At that price, you’re essentially forcing the homeowner to replace the entire system instead of repairing it.

This is exactly why I’ll never sell Carrier equipment. They make decent equipment, but pricing replacement parts like this turns a repairable system into a disposable one. Homeowners deserve better than that.

Carrier Carrier Enterprise or anyone that’s sells this shit, care to elaborate why this board is so expensive?

See this is why Ross Douhat is on 60 Minutes and I’m not because he sits there and listens respectfully and asks thoughtful questions instead of taking off his shirt and beating this man senseless.

Girls are welcome to play with the boys if they’re good enough. Boys are not welcome to pretend to be girls to play with them. Wildly different things.

What a legend this guy is. Master trainer. Absolutely no nonsense. Says all the facts succinctly, no sugarcoating, no BS. If we lived in an honest society where more of these type of guys could be allowed to speak the truth in their fields the entire world would be different.

“Don’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining”: Stern, paternal, no bullshit, knocks the receiver off balance.

“Don’t piss on my back and tell me it’s raining”: Just 5% too weird and kinky, why are you imagining this scenario, you are the fool.

The #1 basketball recruit in the country arrived on campus at Ohio State last month and is ready to help make a run at the national title.

Greg Oden out of Indianapolis is expected to be one of the best big men in the country try this season and has Ohio State as one of the top contenders for the national title.

He is also joined by high school teammate Mike Conley Jr who could get some good minutes for the buckeyes as well
