This big loud fucking commercial AC unit is right next to my balcony. It's used for the business located downstairs. Their offices are only open from 9 to 5 on weekdays, yet their A/C runs CONSTANTLY, 24/7, for no reason.

I've spoken to the manager many times on the phone over the last couple of weeks. Each time, I've asked them to program their thermostat so the unit doesn't run on evenings and weekends. They said it could be done, but only by a professional, and he's too busy to come fix it. So I insist a few times, and finally after a few weeks, they tell me the guy came over to fix it, and that the unit would shut down from 7pm to 7am. Great!

Fast forward to 7pm that same evening: NOTHING changed. The guy didn't do jack shit (or they lied and he never came?). So I told them this the next day, and they say they have no idea why it's not fixed.

It's been driving me nuts for a month now.

Wat do, Yea Forums?

Was it there when you moved in?

If dubs op throw eggs innit

It was, but in the previous years it didn't use to run this much. When the tenants changed downstairs, it got worse.

Throw a bucket of water so that it breaks. They'll need to fix it properly.

If when fixed the problem persists, repeat action.

No dubs but 69, nice.

You can't do anything, if you break it they'll know it was you.

Pour liquid ass into it

Hmm. This thing sits outside in the rain, you think WATER would break it?

OP here. Dubs of truth, unfortunately. :-\

They'll need to prove it. And they can't.

I mean, you can try different liquids. Or flooding it.

cum on it till it rusts or clogs up

Yeah but they would still know it was you proof or not. They could easily just replace it and block it off to get revenge. just a guess though, i still wouldnt risk it.

Piss into it every day, eventually it will pump in the smell of your piss, doesn’t help your situation, but there’s a small measure of justice.

I like that idea. Maybe I'll pour it with a glass, just to avoid getting shocked in the dick.

PISS INTO IT EVERY NIGHT UNTIL THEY COMPLY

Quick question. I have an AC unit in my apartment, and it's the regular one you put on your window during summer. It does make some noise when it's on, but do you think the neighbor next door will hear it as much?

that's not how air conditioners work

There’s padding around the edges, piss soaked material is basically forever. Just try to get the filter pads soaked every day.

You sound like such a faggot

if its running 24/7 they are running a grow house. report them anonymously and watch as the cops come with a search warrant to check it out. post vid for lulz

They might hear it even more. Just be courteous and maybe shut it off before going to bed?

AC dude here. They could solve the problem by installing a silencer on that badboy. Should be fairly cheap and solve the problem. Maybe just air out the idea in a nice manner, and hopefully they will agree. I'm sure they dont do it just to piss you off.

You can smell a grow op.

I know, I can't stop sucking dicks and the AC noise is ruining precious my precious BJ time.

Oh man. Oh man. Best reply so far. I like it.

its a split system. there is no filters there is no air ducts.

you people are fucking morons.. go learn how AC works before you come spewing bullshit.

not if they filter the air with a complex filtration system

Build a fat shit inside you, basically dont shit for days. When you're ready, put on some rubber gloves, poke your ass out your window and drop a fucking nuke on that a/c like hiroshima. then use your hands and smear around the shit. do this repeatedly, post pics for lulz

Thanks, I didn't know that existed. But if they can't even get someone to come program it adequately, I doubt they'll wanna invest in a silencer. How much money are we talking about here?

I’ve seen lots of large charcoal filters, none are close to 100%.

Tenants and landowners have the right to the quiet enjoyment of their home property. You could just go to city hall, fill out a noise complaint form and they'll be forced to comply

I don't trust I'll get a speedy reply from my municipality, but I might just try it. Thanks.

Depends on the solution. Having it done right by a professional will obviously cost more, and would require some new installments such as new fans made for newer units, im going to assume thats an old fella you have there.

Other cheap solutions would be soundproofing it with some sound absorbing blankets. Easy to install and usually helps solving the problem for most. The price is somewhat cheap, but im talking Europe pricing, not sure how its done in murica.

if you live in a city where there are occasional brown outs due to heavy AC usage you could see if the local city ordnance is there for you.

also have you considered that MAYBE they have someone living there when they aren't supposed to be?

I dream about doing this. But they'll know it's me. I'm trying to find a way to make it fail discreetly.

holy fuck, obviously Yea Forumstards dont know what a heat pump is. it's only attachment to the inside is a few wires and AC lines, a lot of them both heat and cool. Jamb the fan, that will cause it to shut down, pull out stick later.

Next time do some due diligence before you buy/ rent a property you fucking idiot.

Thanks for the first thing.

Second thing, it's a space that's basically all windows. It's a real estate agency that's part of a bigger banner. I'd be surprised if someone lived there.

buy some rodent butter and some rodent. Apply rodent butter to power cables. Apply rodent.

one of the corners will have a line leading to the fan hooked to the top of that grill. They are usually easy to remove with a phillips screw driver or sometimes theres enough of a gap that you could apply rodent without opening anything.

Maybe not, but it's the surest and least troublesome (for you) way to get this shit dealt with. You don't even have to shit on their unit

Expect this idiot had been complaining about the unit so he will be suspect #uno

Yeah, but I need to leave it on for a long time in order for it to reach my room. And I need it the mostly to be able to sleep properly. Damn, I didn't know the regular A/C could be bothering.

Thanks kind sir.

The unit used to run at reasonable hours when I moved in. The tenants downstairs changed and now it sucks.

Sabotage it to break. Be cautious. New quieter unit.

Start pissing into the fan at night when people cant see. Make it a daily routine

Can I just jam the fan temporarily without harming the unit? It'll burn it out, no?

Work harder. Move to a better apartment.

you shouldn't be surprised. Real estate people don't make a whole lot. Also in some places its considered illegal to let people inhabit a commercial property without proper red tape yadda yadda. If that turns out to be the case then they only shot themselves in the foot by pissing you off

Man, who cares? Use your AC and buy some disposable earplugs you can hand to your neighbour if they complain

Look for the A/C recharge valves (see pic) on the side of the unit. Take the caps off with an adjustable wrench. Stand opposite from the Shrader Valves they look like tire valves. Jam a small screwdriver into the same, EXPENSIVE Refrigerant leaks out. Stand clear while it's being vented! do not breathe it in! wait until the hissing ends put caps back on. They'll have a hefty bill to re-charge the unit, but if you really want to fuck them up jam an Ice Pic into one of the coils just don't let the stugff get on you or breathe it in.

Just go outside while it's running so you can hear it. Talk to the neighbor, make friends with em.

Same dude here. Dont do that, unless you want to risk a huge fine, or worst case scenario, itll break and hurt you.

>Start pissing into the fan at night when people cant see. Make it a daily routine

another stupid fuck who doesnt seem to understand this thing is outdoors and gets rained on. also piss wont do shit there is no way for the smell to get inside

My apartment is actually quite nice, well-located, and quite a bargain because I've been here 7 years. So, not right now. But thanks.

those fans break all the time. It just circulates air through the radiator body to exchange heat from the fluid inside. realistically if you dumped a fuck ton of local leaves and dirt into it they would just have to assume it occurred naturally.

You seem to know your shit. I was moving a bunch of old units around in the garage where i work and one of them when kicked leaked out all this red dust and shit all over. I probably breathed it in and touhed it but didnt think anything of it. What was it? Just rust?

Everyone in here is being their typical special selves. Honestly OP, just walk into the business during it's normal hours, walk over to their Thermostat and program it. I bet these guys, just like every dumb fuck in management, has no idea how anything works. You can probably set it up with like 5 buttons. If they stop you, just say you are the AC repair guy. If they question you, tell them the truth and then just bitch up a storm. It doesn't fix, then just keep doing it. No one cares about phone calls, you walk into their office they start getting annoyed, maybe not the manager, but some smart fuck getting paid way too little for his job will eventually get mad enough to fix it.

Actually less costly to keep it running 24/7 then to turn off and on to re-cool. Earplugs. Look for a new apartment. It’s a programmable thermostat. Anyone can look up how to set them. HVAC dudes charge $60/hour to do it.

The power cable is covered by thick metal tubing. But I'll look into it.

Also the thing is high up in the air, it'd be kinda weird for a rodent to end up in there.

Good to know, thanks.

old refrigerant. Probably a higher risk of lung cancer

I fucking like this one. Just walk in and program their shit

rats get into fucking everything looking for food or nesting.

Better hope there isn’t a small camera around. Destruction of property charge and big restitution.

dress up like a negro, bash the hell out of the unit then leave. cops are so used to mentally ill negros fucking stuff up they will just file a report and forget about it.

Lovely. It was really small amount and short duration. Is it pretty potent as a carcinogen?

nothing any more potent than you're exposed to daily anyway. Its just a type of oil under pressure.

OP here, thanks for the info. Are the caps the hexagonal things?

Also you mention coils. These are inside, right? Or could I stab an ice pick into the copper tubing that's outside the unit?

ahahaha youre gonna die dude

Cinderblock

that line goes into the building to circulate the cooled fluid. The coils are the radiator that surrounds the fan.

I might try that. It's just that I work on the other side of town during their exact business hours, and I was hoping I wouldn't have to waste a vacation day on these fucks. But now I think I'm at that point.

i dare you to knock on their doors after hours. that would probably answer your question as to whether someone is living there or not

FUCK OFF!!

They're closed all weekend. It's most costly to let the shit run from Friday PM to Monday AM while the space is empty than to shut it off?

Buy some blue coveralls with a patch on it that just says "Dave". Have a small toolbox with you. Stride into the office, nobody will pay attention. Repairmen are as invisible as japanese tourists.

True, I just found one in my ass right now!

Ooga booga I like this idea

life is not Hitman. Stop trying to get OP put in jail

They will call the police on you. I used to have this “I’m gonna do what I want” attitude when younger. Life doesn’t work like that son.

It's a small office, 8-10 people max. I think they'll notice me.

Possibly. Is the unit loud as in it’s an old pos?

take action , firebomb the place

This. I went from working security (everyone fucking looks and talks to you) to working maintenance. Cant even describe how much people just let you do shit when you have a couple tools with you. You can get them to open up doors and they'll always be scared that they're in your way or interrupting your work. Its funny lol

put a piece of cardboard with something heavy over it, it will shut off due to high temp/pressures and they will figure out something.

could also be loud because they wont turn it the fuck off to defrost

good idea but the shopowner is Jewish

Cut that wire and solder a switch into it so you can turn it off yourself

hes not a very thrifty jew if he's letting the ghosts have all the AC they want.

YOU go do this.

OP don't do this as it will most definitely fucking kill you

This nigga got the real answer right here.

If it does frost over then the coolant is not balanced and charged. All well-running units, compressors and coils inside should not frost over.

I looked up the model number and it's discontinued. My guess is it's from 2004, when the building was built. Is that "old"?

I guarantee you if OP goes down there and opens the access panel on the side of the ac then posts pics in a new thread some ACfag will walk him through it step by step.

Thanks. I probably won't end up breaking anything, unless I lose my mind which I'd say is about 50/50 chance right now.

Here's what you do, call up an A/C repair company and bill it to the company. its very likely there's something wrong with the unit so they will get a huge quote. Call them from a businesses phone though.

why are you warning him not to do it. fuck you cuck

I was thinking of putting a heavy blanket overnight on it, then take it off in the morning. Would that do anything?

Not ancient, but kinda. Parts in the unit can be replaced and it can be charged. You can get sometimes 25+ years out of a unit.

you don't need an AC specialist to tell you how much fucking juice is flowing through an air con unit. Its an international answer

a fucking lot

33! Freemason dubs!

findsex.club

reduce the efficiency with a small risk of fire

I have a feeling that if they put in a brand new Rheem it would still bother op.

Yeah, even though dubs (nice), I can't shut the power down. So I don't wanna work on an active unit knowmsayin?

Holy fuck. Idiots in here. Its a basic split system. Highly doubtful hes growing drugs. Humidification, reheat,dehum, are all needed, and that shitty condensor isnt made for process cooling. If anything it has low ambient on it, for year round cooling.

It's close to my apartment, not gonna risk dat. Thanks.

If user puts on a coverall and carries a toolbox he can absolutely do this and they will direct him to the thermostat.

A/C fag here.

Go take off the cover and disconnect the 24v coil wire going to the contractor. Keep doing that everyday until they get the picture.

Report a grow op to the police. Anonymous tips, bro.

Contactor fucking auto correct

OP lives in an apartment on top of a business. His life took a left turn somewhere and he's really just screaming at the sky, making the excuse of a noisy a/c unit for his pathetic meaningless existence.

I’ll do it. Easy as shit.

very low risk of fire, it has thermal shutoffs built into the unit to keep it from catching fire for this very reason. A blanket would do the trick, but it needs to be held down with something heavy or else it will just fall off.

You might also consider just pinching off one of the copper lines coming from the unit as well, that will do the same thing. only you wont need to set something on top of it. However if you wanted it to shut off from 7-7am/pm just put a piece of cardboard with something heavy on top of it to keep air from flowing, it will shut off every 3 minutes or so and stay off for 15ish and eventually blow the compressor.

Can I really take off the cover WHILE it's running? No risk of shock there?

On second though get an adjustable wrench and a set of Allen keys and go close the service valves. It won’t last long if you do that.

Nah, the previous business knew how to run things. It's these new guys that are assholes.

what this guy said

I would but I do shit like that everyday. Probably 5/16 head screws.

Thats the condenser, it only cycles the coolant your fucking idiots.

Pour piss in the top

Aight, thanks for all this info.

Do I do this by turning the hexagonal caps? (Also can you tell, I don't know shit about AC.)

you can disassemble most things while they are energized and running. Its just ill advised to fuck with the wiring. The risk of shock on AC units can be enormous due to related factors

Of just got hit the fucking disconnect.

He could put a garbage bag or tarp over it. That will kill it eventually.

This is kind of fun.

Drop a cinderblock from high distance straight on top of it. That'll get off their asses and fix the damn thing.

Attached: 8320228334.jpg (1866x1620, 192K)

AC systems are actually pretty common sense if you think about it.

The hex caps are usually covering a valve where the refrigerant is pumped in.

OP here. Thanks to everyone in this thread.

In typical Yea Forums fashion, I got a mix of actual great advice, hilarious advice, and dumb advice.

I'm gonna tell them I'm about to file a complaint to city hall and see what they say.

I'm also considering taking a vacation day from my work so I can go see for myself how hard it is to program their thermostat (my guess = not very).

Last option is to start fucking with the unit either with the cardboard and heavy thing, or mess with the caps.

I'm off, good night Yea Forums.

yeah but thats almost guaranteed to get legal attention.

honestly OP i bet if you physically went and spoke to the people they would probably be less apt to just brush you off.

Yeah those hexagon caps will have valves inside. You put Allen keys into them and turn them clockwise to shut them off.

Also to the dumb fuck saying you’re gonna get shocked....I was suggesting you remove a wire off the 24v side of the coil. 24v isn’t shit. You won’t even feel it. The line side of the contact will have 240v if you go line to line. If you go to ground (which is what you are “grounded”) it will be no more than what you’d get out of a household plug which isn’t really fuck all either.

There's going to be an electrical disconnect on balcony somewhere. Do you have access to it?

OP here, thanks for the precision! Gotta go.

No problem jerk. Good luck. Also you could take a cordless drill to the condenser (radiator looking part). If you hit it in enough spots that’ll guarantee a new unit. Just don’t get caught haha.

True, thanks.

Just fucking pinch the line with some pliers. Do the skinny line. Unit kicks off on high head, or trips thermal on compressor.

Looks like the feed goes straight through the wall.

projecting this hard on such an unrelated thing

It may be attached to the unit. If you're in the US, the NEC requires it within eyesight if the unit.

you need northwestern tech 10 month hvac program to get a jumpstart on a your new career

Yeah same in Canada. Must be within sight.

HVAC guy here. Larger buildings require cooling constantly, not just during business hours. It does more than just a standard household AC unit, so it isn't possible to just shut it off. It regulates humidity, etc etc.

That being said, tossing shit into it would be the quickest way to shut it down, but odds are high that they'll have someone out to fix it relatively quickly.

Get something pourable like paint or glue. Dump it down in there.
You're screwed now anyway, they will know it's you no matter what.
Just move.

I know your type.

>HVAC guy here.
>throw some heavy shit into the fan

I could say start fucking with refrigerant lines, but why bother. Too complicated for something that'd be fixed in less than a week

Get into the unit. Install wireless relay in between the coil voltage conductor firing the firing the main contactor. Enjoy

Well if you hadn't already called and bothered them a million times like a fucking idiot, I would tell you to just break it, but if you do that now they'll immediately know who did it, so...

Can someone explain why i see this pic everywhere?

get salty or find a new place

There is an air intake, piss in that if you can find it, but it will probably be some kind of protected vent

I second this

Looks like an old Armstrong, it's likely R-22 so dumping the refrigerant might make them replace the unit with a new and quieter 410 unit.

this. lookup corporate penetration test, tips and tricks. break in assume identity get the job done without harming their business

It's bot spam for some shitty porn site.

just a small handful of sand.

It will break and not look like sabotage.

No, there really isnt

Sand will not damage it.

Few things.

First OP, this is your landlords problem not yours. Get them involved.

Second. Fucking call an AC guy yourself have him come out. Quote the silencer and tell landlord its eother coming out of your rent or the buisnesses wallet. Either way landlord can pick as I assume he owns both properties.

Lastly. Stop being a fucking faggot. This shit isnt that hard to address on your own.

All noises are vibrations. Also I do HVAC for a living. Put "Isolation pads" underneath it, its corkboard and rubber and cheap and muffles the metal shaking. Put bricks on top of it and it also stops the vibration, just dont put it on top of the fan or it will break and they will remove the bricks.

this

These are heat pumps they exchange liquid coolant with a radiator coil. No air is exchanged.
Exposing it to water will not have any affect either.
You can cut its liquid exchange hoses if they happen to run above the roof rather than straight down to the attic crawl space. But generally the only thing to do to quiet them? Is build an enclosure or as you tried; get them to limit the operation times.

You need to micro pinch one of the pipes that circulates the refrigerant between the outside and inside unit or, preferrably, one of the pipes making up the radiators from the outside unit. All you need is a tiny needle sized holes. Soon after the refrigerant will leak and evaporate. The unit will run but it won't cool. Refilling with refrigerant is expensive but they'll try. If the hole is small enough they won't see a pressure drop but in a few days it won't work again. Nobody pays to have the unit serviced because it's much too expensive vs just buying new a one.

anything he will poke or damage will be outside the unit and easily found. theyll also suspect him and report it to the police when the repair man sees an obvious crimp or damage mark and not rust or oxidization

It's it what you know it's what you can prove

OP is retarded and doesn't realize there a grow happening there which is why they won't set the timer to turn off overnight.

Or hooars.

Drop a potted tree on it. Blame the wind, like they said the guy came and fixed it when he didn't. You can't be held responsible for acts of God

don't worry about it, if it's a window unit it isn't loud enough to hear, every apartment in my building has one running right now and I can't hear shit, and there's only a wall separating the closest one from me.

Get some mdf panels and make a custom cover for it. Sound will be reduced and you may even get lucky and cause it to overheat and burn out

I believe that one day it rains, they can be flooded with a bucket or irrigation hose

If you spray the center of the fan unit with bleach every so often, it will eventually oxidize and rust. Making it look like a natural breakdown.

The A/C fan will over heat and shut down if the fan doesn't spin.

Ok I will help.

Over the weekend you cover the intake.
Get some heavy duty plastic sheeting and attach some fishing line to it.
Lower the sheet over the intake and leave it there until the unit burns out.
When it over heats just pull the plastic back up

It will look like it just broke and no blame can be passed onto you.

Your welcome..

I wish you weren't so retarded. If you weren't, you'd know how air conditioners work.

that "pro" doesn't know what he's talking about. Old coolant was highly cancerous, like asbestos, that's why they phased it out. You probably won't die but if you ever notice any lung problems get checked ASAP.

This is a A/C breaker box. Pull the breaker out to shut off the power to the air conditionor. No damages. Plug it back in before anyone shows up in the morning.

So your brilliant input is to lower a kite (basically)? How do you keep the plastic from flying away? Sorry but this is a really stupid idea

Old AC coolant was a CFC (Chlorofluorocarbon)
dangerous to the ozone. It might cause higher exposure to UV thus cause cancer but not on its own.

Fuck that, this something they need to address. I shouldn't have to get up early and change up my life for some common decency on their part to simply fix this shit.

>Real estate people don't make a whole lot

What are you smoking?
Brokers get a 6% commission selling homes. They only need to sell 1 home to make between $5000-9000 in 1 month.

If you're a property manager, you get a 10% commission from EACH home you manage per month. So a single home will earn $100 at minimum dependant on how much rent is. The more homes/business property they manage, the more money, and 15 days out of the month, they just sit on their asses not doing shit but hiring guys to mow the lawn.

On the intake side. The fishing line is so you can drag it out without having to climb back down to the unit.
