11 flex ducts tied to supply plenum, 30" long. Flex runs 30 to40 feet to far side. It's like spaghetti noodles in this attic. Classic

Looks like that in every attic here in Las Vegas. Some may have a bunch of "splitter boxes" as well. Never saw anything like it until I moved here. I get a lot of airflow problem service calls.

What most of the HVAC guys around here would tell them a "variable-speed" blower would solve the airflow problems.

Hey its cheap! Isn't that the best? The ethnic install crew rides around in a 4door flatbed loaded down. They do it in 1 day.
And usually they get sold a bigger unit to fix that!

Isn't that one of those HIGH VELOCITY systems????
That is what it reminds me of.

Looks like what passes for the norm here. Not unusual to find it all just laying on the joists, many times it is too long and they were in too big of a hurry to cut it.
Avatar is a tribute to my Great Grandfather, Andrew Stewart. This pin was one of his advertisements for his heating and plumbing business. I never knew him but must of inherited his love of things mechanical since I am the only blue collar worker in the family

Looks like some of our competitors work around here in new construction. We have shown it to the superintendents and builders but they are more concerned with why it takes us longer to get the rough-ins done. As long as it passes inspection most of them couldnt care less, if it was put in right.
