The damage wasn't that great.
But. What drywall company in their right mind is going to cut that ceiling down and let the insulation fall all over the house.

LOL! I don't think too highly of that POS noisy unit either. But I think he showed us the leaks were caused by small things left by the installers.


What part of town was this in Rifter?

Why in the hell would anyone put a RTU on a historic home? Thats just dumb. But than again a RTU on any house is just getto to begin with :D

Probably would have been easier to set a unit at grade and use floor registers, or a split system in attic with secondary pan under AHU. That way any water issues confined to unit.

One time I serviced a house with the condenser on the roof. Was pretty weird if you ask me...:confused:

we have tons with condensers on the roofs here. and i even have serviced a couple with RTU's on the ground beside the house. Ghetto...at best.
