    I hate these replacements.

    But they turn out ok most of the time.
    Got rid of an old lowboy and a 1964 sears condenser. No pics outside, I didn't feel like going back around to take a pic.

    No the flue is not crooked and yes the plenum is sweating like a mofo. Had the door to the outside open with a squirrel cage blowing air around.

    Old concrete ring from the coal furnace years ago on the floor.

    Very nice. I see you took the time to place a pvc pad underneath the furnace... Not a lot of people will do that. Thats not an insulated plenum I take it.... Its always nice to see good quality work... thx for sharing..


    (I think that water heater should be on a stand though...)

    Sure can see the outline of where the octopus was!

    Nice metal, done on site or in a shop?

    Yeah nice job. Put a note on the condenser so the next guy doesnt add a drier outside and leave the indoor one. Tempstar is a nice Carrier/Sigler alternative.

    Sharp install, like the a/c pad under the furnace, been using blocks we set our L.P. Tanks on under the furnaces here since we have a lot of these blocks. Setting a good example for us to follow, last change out I did was in a mobile home, didnt take any pics, not much to see a furnace in a closet!

    Those are the best, how could you beat a HO who smokes a pack of cigs in your face and cat litter box next to the furnace, good times.

    We use what we call a liturature rack made of sheet metal with our company sticker and phone number on it and screw it into the return air where possible. Customers like it because it holds all the pertinent info (make, model, serial numbers) as well as a short service history.

    Are you allow to do that there??? It isn't a code violation??? Looks Great...
    The BITTERNESS of POOR QUALITY remains long after the SWEETNESS of LOW PRICE is FORGOTTEN.
