This one can be vented to the side. The installer was just too stupid to do it. Running it up over the blower motor is sometimes a necessity in tight spaces, but obviously this is not a tight space.

well, it's working right? that's all that matters
I think he realised what he did and ran outta there so fast, he left his coffee and water jug behind!
The furnace is fine. They just built the house wrong. They put the floor on the wrong end.
There was a time when Lennox made counter flow furnaces with stainless exchangers and that application was acceptable. But that ain't one of em.

The vent pipe, while annoying, is run "correctly". There is a full cover for the front of the furnace that has appropriate knockouts for the vent pipe.
Actually, you can install those furnaces upside down, as per the manual. I've done it once. Mine didn't look like that though....

I just don't understand the level of stupidity in some people!!
Just like a gas-pack...

Am I really seeing what I think I'm seeing??

I was thinking that the down flow unit was installed up side down.

maybe the coil is attached correctly just the ducts are ran wrong?
The installer was thinking of the future....the future sale of a heat exchanger
