    Odd condenser location

    Went to a call on a book store today, and saw this. Two condensers in a pit on the roof. The older one has belt driven condenser fans. Old!

    I hate to say it but my smart phone is just as important as any other tool, Us techs have to realize that our customers have bosses too,, so when u send them a pic it makes there job easier. They don't need to be drilled with why questions or what do u mean. A pic says a thousand words. I always try to get something in the back round that they will recognize.

    It`s better to be silent and thought the fool; than speak and remove all doubt.

    it looks good to the worker. they don't wanna see the eqp. i mean they're not esthetically pleasing, they're big rectangular box with giant fan on it. they just wanna know they're comfy and panicking when it's not working.
    Have tools and gauges, will travel.
