Derek Cole runs his family's HVAC company, operating since 1953 and franchised with 1-Hour Heating & Cooling since 2009. He and his brother split residential and commercial work under their father's majority ownership. They discuss why flared connections beat brazing to protect compressors and proper refrigerant line installation.
Yeah, this business has been here since 1953. We joined the 1 Hour franchise late in 2009, so we've been doing that for a while now. Me and myself, I've been here 14 years, and it'll be 15 years in May. So we've been around for a while. It is, it is my favorite My father owns a majority and me and my brother own the rest. I run the residential side, he runs the commercial side, and Dad's in between. A lot more elbows though. I think you got that bottom, you going to choke it off too much. Well, we running right across the top of all that right there, so we should be good coming out the bottom. Just put the elbow, it shouldn't choke it as long as we above your— definitely. But you cannot— there's something if you Looking— do not braze line. I don't know. The only connection they want, if you got to add on anything, is flares. That don't make sense to me. They don't— I think they don't want the chances of, you know, those compressors, they run so efficient, and I don't think they want a chance of taking any flaking down that line because it could do a lot more damage to that compressor than anything else. Oh, okay. Okay. So mostly they don't want no soot. That's right. And then we'll start moving all these filters over there to that ship, clearing out. Say you're sorry. Say you're sorry, you love us, and everything's perfect. If it wouldn't have been for him looking, we would have never even known it wasn't here. For who? If it wouldn't have been for you coming back here saying y'all knew this Saturday, it wouldn't have.
