    1) wires not tied back together

    3) compressor on right has been replaced but they left old liquid line drier

    I've noticed that Trane likes to have a gobbly-goo of wires in their condensers, we just have to deal with it! An yes if you cut the wire ties off, it only takes 3 minutes to put a few new ones on!

    They didn't want to get the touch out to change the drier.

    ditto on filter dryer and not wanting to drag out torches. Hopefully it wasnt a burn out. I have a touch of ocd when it comes to trimming wire ties also, but in a bundle that big got to be carefull not to nip a good wire in the process.

    If they didn't want to drag out the torches, they could have cut that dryer out and put in a flare dryer

    I can't justify in my mind any reason the drier wasn't changed. I like to relocate drier outside the condenser so next time unit can be pumped down to change it.

    passive subcooler

    I noticed that as well, I'd insulate it.

    Was always curious with those orange Trane herm compressors. Are they reciprocating?

    Ya, you hear most people refer to them as "tin cans". They are really a pretty good compressor and have a really neat sound to them.
