That is a great idea, no way the copper grabbers are going to work that hard.

This just means the truck it 'fell off of' is stored near by, so they HAD to hide it.

Theft resistant stealth package unit installation.
Requires a PITA surcharge.
That condenser fan motor will be real fun to replace.

Sometimes it pays just being a fat guy.

I would have crapped myself laughing and turned down the job.

Hey! At least it does have a hole for discharge, unlike one I found a few years back -a Goodman package a/c in a basement. installer(yea right) said it would be OK as long as he left the basement window open.

My first thought upon seeing that, would be; you're going to have to get that

thing out of there before I do anything!

Was this just a maintenance call? What was your first thought when you saw it? Lol.

Wow, unbelieveable.

Hello everyone, I am the one that took the picture. This is a heat pump package unit under a mobile home. The box on the right side of the unit is the temperature sensor for the defrost. They pretty much built a deck frame under the mobile home for the home to sit on. But how they got the unit in there is beyond me. The condenser discharge: On the side of the house, there is a large 4' square hole with a screen, and a curved piece of plywood inside to direct the air out the side of the home. Inside the home there is a closet that has a big box where this discharge is. I have no idea WTF they were thinking, except they wanted to hide the POS unit they had installed.

OSHA confined space. Technically, would need to pull a permit to work in there and have a written extrication plan if the tech got injured/ incapacitated. I would also insist my guys wear a 4 gas personal alarm: CO, LEL, O2, H2S

Is that a disconnect on the right side there? or is it a gas pack and that is the exaust?

there would have to be a large PIA charge involved with that friggen' call.

Found the installer!

He said he's busy

Sometimes you just say no I will not fix it . Call the a---hole that put it there.

What'd they do...lower the trailer onto it with a crane?

Installed Under A Home

A tech had to crawl thru a 13" hole to get under this mobile home in order to service.
