No carpet here, I guess I could have some wet concrete to deal with. Attic, they get a overflow pan, but not this. On second thought, we very rarely put one in an attic. Furnaces don't belong in an attic.

Combining the coil and fau drain without a trap and vent for the coil puts a positive pressure in the fau drain line when the blower is running. This was not designed to happen or tested by the factory. Hopefully fau drains ok.
I always add a safety overflow switch for reasons stated.
Nice work.

The furnace drains into the same drain. Just a 1/2" cpvc fitting slid inside the 3/4" sdr21.
Plenty of room for pressure to blow by. Plus if the drain stops up I won't have any acidic water getting to the coil.

Very nice install.
+1 on the forming of the lineset. Very clean looking.
As for the condensate float, the inspector flagged my 1st floor unit (downdraft) for not having a coil pan float... Upstairs unit is in the attic and has a secondary float switch. Inspectors vary in what they deem code. Otherwise, AWESOME install.

CONSERVATION - turning your thermostat back and being uncomfortable. Maybe saving 5-10%
ENERGY EFFICIENCY - leaving your thermostat where everyone is comfortable. Saving 30-70%
DO THE NUMBERS! Step on a HOMESCALE.
What is comfort? Well, it AIN'T just TEMPERATURE!
Energy Obese? An audit is the next step - go to BPI.org, or RESNET, and find an auditor near you.
