Nice!! Lets see if I can talk the boss into it.

I dunno what C card, B card or X card are and dont really care , we dont operate that way up here. whats your point? Lennox is non-union and they will slam doors before going union.

Lennox Nas does not work in residential equipment, they are rooftop jockeys.

I use Milwaukee m12 and m28, I'm kind of sold on them till something better comes along.
liked DeWalts till few years back the quality went down hill.

My guess would be to keep the heat away from the blower motor and the airflow over the evaporator surface nice and even as being draw from the fan inlet, it would take more room and materials too. ...

Happy new year to you!!! and I'm interested in copying your two pieces of sheet metal rig, where and how you position them? could you post dimensions? thanks!!!

Thank Jim, I didnt know cold temperatures was bad for the sensors, I leave my analyzer in the truck all the time.
Are the Testo O2 sensors also made in the UK?

I was wondering if anyone know tricks to extend the life of the O2 sensor, I thought about removing it from the analyzer and place it in storage when not in use.
My Bacharach eats them like cupcakes.

I have replaced more Yorks HX than any other brand, Carrier makes it a breeze to change it, done 48TJ's by myself in 3 hours, older York RTU's are a pain especially the largest ones with dual...
