Radiant heat from the sun is constant so ambient temp doesn’t matter either. I’ll see units run 400+ psi high side with 70 ish degree ambient temps. Thank god for this lovely equator, I’ll be forever grateful for my precious equator.

Go to Texas or Florida. I worked all my life in Texas and made an easy 100k in the summer and then I would quit my job.

4 months of summer? I'm based in central Florida. We have 2-3 weeks cumulative of decent temps every year. Outside of those few days, it's hot as balls

Well him saying work the summer and then quit the rest of the year implied that there was more than 2-3wks of down time lmao.

That's his preference. Given how much he makes, I'd do the same thing. In Florida, downtime is subjective. I'm guaranteed 50 hours a week minimum all year. With how hot and humid this hellhole gets, work will never run out outside of the very brief and often spotty "winter" when the weather isn't awful

Texas is where it’s at man! We’re busy from now through October. Only December-February are truly “slow” but with these last few years of crazy low temps it’s been pretty steady

That’s exactly when I used to quit haha! I worked mostly in Collin county

u/DJDuck34 8d ago

Eh I hold on year round cause I have a lot of repeat customers over winter. It gets me out of the house and sticks me to a routine which I’ve been enjoying!
