    This seems to be happening all the time these days, especially with all the newbies getting into the geothermal portion of the HVAC industry.

    I like the exposed junction under the unit, electrician they were not. Overall it looked like a new(er) unit with a crappy tin job. Not many owners would climb up and inspect the work as long as it blows cold/hot air out. Sad they paid money for that.

    Long story short....I charged her 2 k to fix all that was wrong. It took us twice as long to re-do everything that was screwed up.

    don't even need that, you can rotate them before you even open them up in the viewing software. Right click and rotate clockwise or counter clockwise.
