I remember the young guys that I helped, explained how things work, and seeing them become a good tech. I was a supervisor for a respected refrigeration contractor in the New York city area. I have had guys call me thanking me for teaching them.......What a great feeling to have someone do that. I did not expect that, but still, it makes your heart feel good. Doing refrigeration service in Manhattan is a rough adventure . water towers in rooms in the basement or 5 floors up on the roof, I remember working in a supermarket, and had to go into the water tower room. I opened the door and walked in. I noticed something moved, I looked at it. It was a rat, almost big as a cat! I screamed like a girl, ran out of the room and slammed the door. I am so thankful that I retired with a decent pension.

You wont really need defost time clock if you have low employee traffic in and out, if your temps are set at 38-39(in comparison to 34-35 for beer cooler when you evap coil tend to run colder and accumulates more frost), so if your walk-in is set at 38-39 with doors closed and tight door gasket during the night time and you have good hydraulic door closer then you wont have any issues with defrost. But for example if its a 24/7 convenience store, its a beer cooler, people run in and out, your gaskets are messed up and people often forget to close that door then yes, defrost is a must. I know what customer is this, we service them regularly, in our are they closed at 10pm and open at 8am, 10 hours usually more than enough for defrost.

I hate those cheap crimp connectors. I would rather use a piece of 1/4 soft copper and drill a hole in it. I know it takes longer but they never fail. But a bare crimp with a little solder is still better than just the crimp it and leave it.
