Oh yea I forgot to put the picture of the roof hatch to that unit. Attachment 342641 I think I remember Indiana Jones crawling through this in one of those movies. 360 degrees of screws sticking out at least an inch.

It doesn't hold moisture like the factory ones... seems to keep them from corroding at Mach 5 in gasket areas.

We have around 12 heaters, I tell them to use different circuits if they can, and tell them they will over load and pop breaker or fuse if they have to many running. My bedroom is on a crawl, I made the mistake of putting on in there for my wife to temper the room, now it just runs all night. She is one of them people that are freezing while your sweating!

I guess... well never mind... that would be an ARP comment... That's good. I want a signature also. The last one the lady still wanted to run it, being a pulse they are positive pressure I wasn't to thrilled. I told her she could die or get sick, she told me well I've lived with it this long. She signed the paper but I found out later she ran it. We put a new trane xv95 in within a few days.

I had a not so dependable 92 the other day 2 of the hx tubes were so perforated the crawl was warmer than the house. homeowner gave me a ration about cutting off his heat told him it was for his own protection. The wife spoke up and said can that be why I'm having these headaches?
It's that time of year again!!! Already condemned 5 Tranes, 2 Carriers and 3 Yorks--all within the past 2 weeks. Shut off gas valves, and set units so they would not operate in heat, yet people couldn't understand why I had to disable them!!! "Have you had any headaches lately?"
