    Maybe those are non-combustible baskets.

    That is exactly how I feel about it.

    Don't tell the original installer what the heat gain is. They might try to put a couple more systems on this poor little furnace!

    Undersized A coil? Is this in Houston

    You're right. It is a flower shop.

    Copper gas line



    sloppy work/tape job is typical,

    forgot

    Forgot to mention that this was at a business and not a home.

    Please tell me I am going crazy. Tell me this isn't real. Aside the fact that it really doesn't look that great but it has a 3 ton condensing unit, 2 1/2 ton evaporator coil, and a furnace moving 4 tons of air.







    Hold on to your pants. That wasn't the worst part. I did a load calc because the original complaint is that it does not cool at all.
    Heat gain - 113,704 btu's
    Heat loss - 87,162 btu's
    System is less than 1 year old.
