I got at least the last year out of it with a series of mismatched fan motors, and a really original cowl sorta thig to compensate for the different sized fan. I would never do that on anyone else's property, but with a bunch of half-burnt motors lying around, and no one else's money involved, why not?
newb question.. where is the return?
Why do we only see residential RTU in Arizona ? In the East coast i've never seen one ....
It looks like an air handler I have never seen a RTU with no condenser coil.

Looks like that setup has been there a long time, gonna take a guess and say 10-15 years? Bet it worked fine all this time.
Were is the condenser section of the old package unit? You sure that's just not an old outdoor ahu? Sure looks like it's been that way for awhile.
Those things are built tough. Over seas, they run them non-stop full tilt and they still keep going.
Most interesting tid bit is that the home owner bought the house under a year ago and the units were like that when he bought the home. How the heck did that pass inspection?? LOL
Hmmm, think the coil matches? Definitely thinking... ....outside the BOX.
I wonder how much cheaper that was then just replacing the compressor or the whole unit.
that's just sad didn't realize Phoenix had a hood
I'm surprised they didn't put the condensing unit on top of the other unit.
Isuzu NPR. Awesome truck!
What kind of rig are you driving?
Seems like more work than it was worth!! Went out on an estimate the other day to replace a customer's unit. When I spoke to him on the phone he told me, "I have two units but not really, or at least that's what I've been told so far." It's an older home in Phoenix (built in 1947 ish) so what I was expecting to find was a furnace and a straight cool packaged unit on the roof. Lo and behold, I found something far more interesting! The compressor in the packaged unit had died so they tied in a 5 ton condenser into the packaged unit!!! I love the tape job on the side panel of the packaged unit. Class act. Only in Phoenix!
