Funny how that works no one cares about mechanical except mechanics. Well until u buy a house w ****ty mechanical!!!
Looks like some of our competitors work around here in new construction. We have shown it to the superintendents and builders but they are more concerned with why it takes us longer to get the rough-ins done. As long as it passes inspection most of them couldnt care less, if it was put in right.

Isn't that one of those HIGH VELOCITY systems???? That is what it reminds me of. .
Hey its cheap! Isn't that the best? The ethnic install crew rides around in a 4door flatbed loaded down. They do it in 1 day. And usually they get sold a bigger unit to fix that!

Looks like that in every attic here in Las Vegas. Some may have a bunch of "splitter boxes" as well. Never saw anything like it until I moved here. I get a lot of airflow problem service calls. Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk 2

Let me guess, 11 supply ducts, 1 return?
DIY at its finest!

WAY too much resistance, need hard duct.
