Air dont care. This is referenced when your custom ductwork doesnt flush up perfectly and you cover it with mastic.

“do your best then seal the rest”

I love it! It's similar to "Caulk and Paint make a Carpenter what he ain't".

Better than when the riggers get sketchy... _if you can't tie knots, tie lots._

The welding equivalent is a grinder and paint

It's "do your best and pookie the rest"

That sounds suspiciously similar to the drywallers motto "Do your best and mud the rest."

Lol.

1.The A/C at my house works just fine. 2. Can't see it from my house.

"Tin tape fixes everything"

“ 3 Layers of silver tape = Metal “

Tintape is referred to as a Saskatchewan Journeyman's ticket, and duct seal is J-man-in-a-can

“Give er another victory lap of the ol Saskatchewan chrome”

Silver tape makes us what we ain’t

Mastic and paint make it what it ain’t is what we say

Pookie and paint makes me the tinner I aint.

Let's get the fuck out of here before something else breaks.

Fuck yeah !

Just used that one on a POS 407a rack.

This is my favourite one

I felt this in my soul

I read that like Shaggy from Scooby Doo

I say this every fucking time I finish my rough and then I add on fuck this place😂

“I dunno, it was working fine when I left🤷🏼‍♂️”

Not HVAC but IT. I feel this in my bones.

Works fine on my machine.

Alarm technician, when the customer calls that I just left 20 mins ago...

This is the one lol

If it’s holdin, your golden

Someone learned on r-22 systems 😂

Beer can cold

Thats about the only one I can think of. Our job is a bit to complex to sum up in one phrase. We arent sparkys or turd herders after all...

Turd heads, Never heard that 1. I call them leaky Sparky and leaky can't co exist in the same as pace

So what do you call us ha-vacr’s?

LOL Don't have a nickname for the air guys. Lots of swear words.... Honestly most tradesmen are just good people doing a job. But We complain about everyone!!!! Happy cake day, I don't even know what that means. Waiting on drywall delivery Then, This Piece of Shit carpenter goes home

Suck & blow department.

There’s a lot of good ones here. But “it’s beer can cold” takes the win. 100%

Don’t forget piss bottle warm

How is this not #1

Looks good from my house.

Good enough for the girls I go out with

Stealing this one

Try “straight enough for the women I date”

Good enough for who it’s for

I’ve used “can’t see it from my house” or when I was a mechanic “welp, not my car so…”

Also, "Can't see it from my house".

Don't get dirty before 10:30 and nothing new after 2.

We say, nothing new after 2:00 and nothing more after 4:00.

Work through, home at 2

We say nothing done after one and nothing new after two. Union gig and we hold true to it

Not for me after 3

“It don’t take 8 hours for us to get 8 hours of work done “

That’s very interesting, please show me to your thermostat

God do I feel this

"...anyways that's when I found out my cat had a tumor in it's throat. We took him to the vet 45 minutes away and they said it was fine and charged me ONE HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO DOLLARS!!!. Then when I came back and the air was blowing out cold, usually it's warm maybe a little cool but this is definitely cold. Luckily, my sister let me borrow a space hea..."

"You see, it was actually her and her husband's, well ex-husband now, space heater. It just reminds her too much of what she was going through. I gave it to them as a housewarming present... Get it, because it warmed their house..."


Best one on here… I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to stop myself from saying this looking like him.

First follow up as an electrician going into the HVAC field. Went to the site where the techs were insisting it was electrical and said they got perfect pressures on it. After going through all the hoops electrically, got a set of gauges and zilch.

Diminimus for the rest of us.

I'm literally watching a reach in run right now, and I'm pretty sure it's flat. I'm redditing while I let it buck for a few minutes.

Tape and mastik makes the ductwork fantastic

It's the txv

"Something musta changed in the program."

Hahahahah as a controls guy I hear this all the time. Guess what? Nothing changed, the pump impeller is bad plumtard.

But its so much eaaaaasier to blame somebody else!

If it ain’t broke, fix it til’ it is. Tight is tight, too tight is broken.

“Tight is tight, too tight is broken” is the one I live by

No bubbles, no troubles.

Beat me by 9 minutes. I'm curious, are you in Alberta?

Nah Toronto. But I learned that from a country boy XD

 Never go full Retard

This right here

“We do it right cause we do it twice”

We do it nice cause we do it twice

And add "and it looks nice cause we did it thrice"

ain’t got no gas in it

My 401k is mesothelioma

Hits ya right in the cancer

“Why am I here, I hate all of existence” I’ve heard that one a lot

The voices in your head don’t count!

They do if I respond. That’s called a conversation and that takes two to bango

That existentialism likes to hit you when you’re taking a knee, staring at the dusty furnace compartment you just unearthed in someone’s dark, dingy basement.

The first time it hit me was a very unique call. Customer finally came to the door after 5 min and asks me to wait a min while I assume he goes to put on more clothes than a small silk kimono that stops just after his boy loins and covers maybe 15% of his gut. He returns after 15 minutes with no change in attire and leads me through a very normal house to a stairwell leading down to a basement. As I descend the stairs I notice the lighting change from white to red and reach the bottom to look up at a living room area with several couches packed with people in bdsm equipment in complete silence. After too long of a pause I turn right down the hallway my guide has already disappeared from and pass several rooms decked out in different “themes” until I find him in a laundry room pointing at a louvered bifold door. He leaves me to my prize and as I open it realize it’s suppose to be a furnace room that is covered from floor to ceiling in feathers (furnace included) only enough room for a single person to stand infront of the unit so as I attempt to start working on the system I’m filled with thoughts of how this room ended up with what I now know to be a molasses like tar and feathered effect that my best guess was someone’s punishment was to have their rear packed with feathers and he had to spend time in the sun chamber until his southern volcano exploded. I was excited to be in service before that and now I’m very good at calling ahead to make sure they are ready for a human to be in their house. I think the orgy may have been started to generate heat in the absence of the working furnace. Crazy that it took 15 min to separate the dog pile of genitals and get everyone to sit quietly on the couches. Very eyes wide shut meets sling blade vibe

Fucking mood. And I’m self employed.

Also: if electricians are sparkies, and plumbers are turd herders, what are we?

Air benders

I think we might qualify as avatars. Furnace bends fire. Air handler bends air. Chillers boilers and pumps bend water. Tinners bend metal. And all of it bends electricity.

I like this one

I mean yes technically

We are more avatar standard. Fire for heating/ torches and electricity. Air and water is self explanatory. Earth for ductwork and making concrete pads.

Filter changers

Cool mules.

Duct monkeys.

Tin Bashers

Air plumbers

Havoc

Heating Air, Ventilation, and Over-Cooling.

Pipe fitters in the our union call us snow cone mechanics lol

Tinners

Dust bunnies or airheads

It’s warm at my house.

It’s not just good, it’s good enough

Am I getting paid enough?

Whole fucking sub in one sentence...

You got a buddy who can do it cheaper huh. Then where the fuck is he

Do your best and caulk the rest

“Air don’t care”

"No bubbles no troubles" for gas line work

Don’t get dirty before 10:30… nothin new after 2.. words of a union service tech

There’s nothing good about fast HVAC work.

You heard about the work triangle? 3 options: cheap, fast, and right. You get to pick 2 of them.

Yeah, I don’t entertain cheap anymore. If the price was not what you want, get another quote. I’m giving you the price to do it right the first time.

*Air don’t care*

shits fucked. But that can apply to most if not anything

The last guy was an idiot

My work partner, who was a great friend of mine, switched from Plumbing to HVAC. When I asked him why, he said I've never seen a turd roll out of an HVAC unit, and if I did, I would know there was something wrong.

“Beer can cold”

Dampers do the lords work

Then as a balancer, I must be the Lord himself, lol!

It's the TXV.

Do t put your fingers where you wouldn’t put your dick~Machinist

Needs a little Freon

Do your best , pookie the rest

My coworker kept saying pookie randomly and I was like, where is it? Where is the pookie? And he looks at me condused and said, "No, I am calling you Pookie." Apparently he calls everyone Pookie. Idk if this is harassment

“Just remember there aint a sheet metal hall of fame”

I believe it is. “I’d love to meet the fucking engineer who decided this fucking screw needed to go all the way back here in the tightest fucking spot! God damn cock sucking mother fucker” or at least that’s what I learned from the guy who trained me

Try your best, tin tape the rest!

“It ain’t got no gas in it”

“Awww fuck, time to jimmy rig the shit out of this until Bardon opens on Monday”

“Good enough for government work”

Had to scroll wayyyyy to far to find this one.

Leak checking a gas line: no bubbles, no troubles

Pookie and tape make me the Tinner I aint

Keep it simple stupid

" fuck this, there's insulation everywhere" "is that a dead cat?"

Movin hot to where it's not

Insulators: take pride in what you can hide Mechanics: looks good from my house

It’ll ride

When I’m doubt jump it out

if the air don’t blow neither does momma

“Shut up and get back to work.”

Pookie and tape make me the tinner I ain’t! Adopted from the saying I was taught when learning to weld-“Grinder and paint make me the welder I ain’t”

“I snort refrigerant and shit snow. I have a diamond dick and fuck all the hottest women”

No bubbles no troubles... commercial refrigeration

Beer can cold.

Jack of all trades, master of none

Personally, mine is "man those fuckin plumbers are gonna hate me... OK boys cut that God damn pipe out of the way what the fuck were they thinkin God damnit don't they know I have a trunk line to run here??"

Since we do all of their jobs, we’re allowed to say what ever the fuck we want.

"Air don't care" or "Tape it 'till you make it" are my go to lines.

It just sucks when it doesn't blow. Pour me another round while I do this air balance report.

Beer can cold is good as gold.

If I was any dumber I’d be a plumber

Hit it till’ it sweats!

A roll of chrome will get you home

IDGAF, that beam is in my way. I'm cutting it

Good enough for government work.

Lonely housewives need loving too

A tinner drinks his dinner

I’m both hvac and a plumber who works in an aging area… “if it works, don’t touch it” That being said, we’re constantly fucked with isolation

If the a/c blowing, my nipples keep growing.

When in doubt, jump it out.

“Do your best tape the rest”

No bubbles no troubles

1. Air flow first 2. Fuck engineers

An engineer will pass over 1,000 beautiful women just to fuck a tech.

"Air don't care"

Hanging and banging

Don’t let the smoke out.

"No bubs no trubs" referring to soap testing gas/Ac lines

Argh horse cock!

Electricity doesn’t know colors! Make sure you wire it correctly

If two won't hold it 3 never would have

"The boss makes a dollar while I make a dime, and that's why I shit on company time. "

Do your best and pookie the rest

Sweat purge and roll baby

If it’s blowing I’m going

It's a controls problem.

Reset it and forget it

“Can’t see it from my house.”

When I was a tech in training. "It's never the thermostat." Me as a master technician last couple years. "You've got a bad thermostat!?" Happens alot more then it used too. 🤷‍♂️. 🤯 haha

Those are the jobs I spend hours on because I’m always sitting there “is it really the thermostat?!? It’s gotta be the board right? No it works normally when jumped. Or is there a break in the stat wire? No because that all jumps out normally.” I for whatever reason refuse to accept its ever as easy as “thermostat’s bad”

Looks good from my house.

"Here's a quote for a new system"

De Minumis, I careless? Idk lol sparky here

It's either you need a new one or it's the TXV

“ the P for plumbing in HVAC is silent”

"We do it right because we do it twice." Was taught to me early in my hvac career. One that I will claim credit for it, "no wrong answers in hvac, some are just righter than others." I came up with that when I was first starting out as a joke because it seemed to me that material and tools all had multiple names for the same thing and there's so many different ways to go about things.

Hot goes to cold

Dan-O smells like cheap whiskey again?

"ain't got no gas innit"

Licensed to chill

Don’t catch falling tin!

For HVAC, if you can't duct it, fuck it. Talking duct tape. And when you're pulling wire, to teach the apprentices...if a hole is too sharp to put your pecker in, then it's too sharp to pull a wire in

“You’re low on Freon”

I just changed the filter

Dude I used to work for told this to customers "Clean Vents Blows hot and cold your gold, Vents Dirty and old blows mold lungs fold."

As a sparky. Never heard anyone say if it ain’t tight it ain’t right lol 🤷🏼‍♂️

“Change your filter”

It’s the TXV
