Drain for a sink on the deck?
Is it a heat pump?

It looks like the heating man just up and left before completing the job.I would hope this is not the finished product!

I think its a good looken unit but i would just worry about headpressure in the summer and premature freezing in the winter,airflow would have to be comprimized a bit but other than that i like it.
There are three signs of old age.
The first is your loss of memory,
the other two I forget.

This is A/C only .
The PVC is the Furnace Exhaust on a Lennox Furnace.
Intake is up under the deck where the PVC comes down.

I am not sure when it was installed. I didn't take a pix inside since ther was a few people around in the basement. Looks pretty new, so I don't know if it has been fired off last winter or not.Originally posted by BaldLoonie

Geeze I'm dissapointed in you guys!
All you gotta do if that pipe freezes up is turn the A/C on for a bit, it'll thaw, you're good to go!"If you call that hard work, a koalas life would look heroic."

Pipe slopped wrong as well. Im guessing that the deck wasn't there before, it was added after the frurnace was put in.

The deck was put in long before the furnace.
What do you mean slopped wrong? It's going the right way, you want the water to drain away.

I had a call for a straight cool A/C maintenance. Found two condensers in the crawl space under the house. The crawl space was about 10' high on one side and the ground sloped to meet the house on the other side. The house was built completely open underneath. At some point, someone had closed it in making it an unvented crawl space. When the HO opened the door to the crawl space to show me the condensers I thought this will never work. HO said it had been that way for years and had been working fine. I was there in mid summer and the only problem was a noisy condenser fan motor. The space was faily cool. Apparently the closed crawl space was big enough that the heat was absorbed by the ground.
