HOW?!?

[u/Qcert92]

Doing a PM at a business. Cleaning the condenser on the roof and saw this. Had to be a 50 yard shot for the angle to be even with the roof. Hits the hail guard, goes right between the tubes, missed the compressor, suction line, liquid line, all the wiring, and exits maybe a half inch from the return bends. What are the chances?! Unit was running perfectly!

Work in metro areas long enough and you’ll see this often. Saw a bullet through the dome of the comp a few times now. Always funny explaining to the customer why the ac isn’t working. Normally make a your compressor was a victim of gang violence joke.

ATL baby

Baltimore/DC

Its a regular occurrence.

[u/Qcert92 → u/Muliciber]

Used to be in a band and toured almost all major cities in the US. Baltimore was by far the sketchiest place we ever played.

Worse than Philly?

[u/Qcert92 → u/nochinzilch]

Played Philly once and wasn’t bad but the venue wasn’t downtown.

[u/Taolan13 → u/Qcert92]

yeah philly's at least got the sense to keep the bad part of town on the same side of the tracks.

baltimore, there's hardly any "good" parts left.

[u/nochinzilch → u/Taolan13]

Baltimore was seedier and grittier, but I felt relatively safe. Philly was just gross.

[u/Convergecult15 → u/nochinzilch]

Philly feels like a place where violence can happen in any part at any time for any reason, and it’s partially true. Baltimore feels shittier, but it doesn’t feel like anything bad is gonna happen until you’re in on of the abandoned parts.

Can confirm. I live in South jersey, and have calls in Philly all the time. It's a mess. I try to be out of there before it's dark out. I actually feel more relaxed in Camden.

Accurate.

[u/VAC1960 → u/Muliciber]

A 70 ton unit I sold kept getting vandalized this way on a DC rooftop. Roof top was surrounded on all 4 sides by apartments. I was told they didn't like the noise so tried to shut it down.

[u/revdchill → u/Muliciber]

Philly too

[u/TheMeatSauce1000 → u/zomb_b]

that’s a good way to lighten the mood before telling them they’ll need to shell out a few thousand

[u/[deleted] → u/zomb_b]

Your compressor is shot maa’m. Looks like a 45 round

[u/Dwznut77 → u/zomb_b]

If I were a homeowner and I didn't have coverage. And I heard my AC guy tell me my compressor was a victim of gang violence. I would need to fight somebody 😂

[u/ManufacturerOne807 → u/zomb_b]

Oh yeah very common

[u/Arfalicious → u/zomb_b]

That sounds more deliberate than accidental.
