Don't ask me why I fixed this.

Nice repair anyway.

As already stated, some sheet metal over the opening would do wonders.

[jimmyed]

I would have taken some sheet metal and covered that whole section up, I bet all of the air is drawn thru that area and not anywhere else. I bet the head pressure is pretty high too. With 12 Lbs of r22, I would love to see what you charged them!

Charged for the gas and thats it. A real close friend bought the house, been empty 3 years, been up there every night after work fixing tons of problems. Wanting to get through this summer. Then its zone time and redo everything. POS install. 4 ton unit. Just want it to last a couple months tops.

I did block the hole off. Pressures seemed to be pretty normal actually. Lacking in the airflow department inside, but that's due to the morons that think a 5 ton drive will pull thru a 16x25 filter.

Its amazing what piss can do

I've used the expandable builder foam to fill a couple like that but on hot days the pressures werent normal, head was way up.

Took me less than an hour to fix it, pressure test, get vac going, put it back together and wash what was left of the coil. It will probably work the rest of the summer. Worth it...

So what... it had a big hole in it. If I was in your friends shoes I would be really thankful that you are not scared of a little dog piss and could get her going to get me by. And not force me into a new unit. Way to go!

Only for a friend...and a good one at that. Nice work.

Speaking of piss, specifically the amonia therein; I am beginning to see the relationship between the abundance of animal urine in the carpets and in the air (at least I certainly hope it's animal urine...can't be sure with some of the places we go into) and the premature deterioration of indoor coils, ignitors etc.

I'm told I would be surprised if I were to piss in a cup and throw a penny in and let it sit for a few days. I'll take their word for it - my wife is barely tolerant of my work bench in the shop...

Agreed...summer's almost over....

I don't think any dogs been pissing on it for a couple years. House sat empty for 3 years.

You sure it was a dog?

I'm sure they were grateful to get some more use out of it.
