    Don't those ERV's need a flex connection for vibration? Great install btw, most people would flex the whole installation. Very clean. Leave it to the pump wire to mess with the fung shwei.

    Maybe someday they will put a 20' retractable cord on them because they are always to long or to short. Unplug it and take a new pic lol. Il say it again though great install!

    Beautiful work man. As someone already said, most guys would have flexed the ERV. We don't do our own ductwork, but we make sure to sub it to a guy that does this quality of work. Glad to see that workmanship isn't totally dead.

    Very nice work. Super clean. Just did a job where the pump wire did the same thing. Bothered me so much I drilled a hole in side of cabinet and ran it through and then sealed. It was just long enough to reach.
    You need to put the phone down and get back to work!

    Nice! Pump cord totally takes a dump all over it! Its amazing that someone paid for this caliber of work in a new construction. Most new construction I see is a rats nest of flex duct, undersized single return and piss-poor air flow done for 10% over material cost

    Looks neat. Next time use a transition on the return like you did on the supply. Except it would be flat on the furnace side, not centered. That way you would pull from the whole bottom of the return duct. looking at the job, you can see you care about what you do. Good work!

    Very, very nice work. Where is this job located? Are you using a copper line for the condensate discharge? We have gone to a yellow high pressure hose from Mc Master Carr for the connection as the clear hose pumps ship is junk. Pumping fau condensate has us routing the yellow hose the entire route as copper line will eat out over time. Fau water is acidic.

    I know your job is a/c condensate only just thought I would mention the fau condensate issues.

    How the hell did you find a new construction job that gives you that much space for mechanical? Around here it's a fight to get an extra 6" just to shoehorn it into a closet! Nice looking job!
    Where are you? Are you done yet? I got ONE more call for you.....

    Looks great. Only thing I would suggest is two sheet metal angles riveted to the floting side of the return, just for added strength. Everything looks great though.
