one sad install

[hvac hero]

I went over today because her previous a/c man kept charging her system up every 2 weeks & wouldnt look for a leak. It didnt take long to find the leak in her condenser. But this is just a sad install.
It doesnt look like the original guy had a hammer drill. lol


To get to the evaporator coil, I had to take the paneling off the wall. It only had a square cut out for the furnace to get combustion air. That big 100,000 btu furnace in a little bitty house.


& if that dont take the cake, the installer had the nerve to run the drain through the bathroom & tie in under the sink. Lord have mercy.


the lady couldnt get approved through my financing company so her daughter is trying to work something out now. I'm wanting to install the Ruud Super Quiet 80 & pipe in outside combustion air. She is going to get her son to frame in a door instead of putting the paneling back over.

That's incredible!

I don't know how some of these hacks sleep at night.

He charged it so much that he even put in a pad for the refrigerant cylinder

That can't possibly be a GOODMAN condensing unit sitting outside, could it? If you've seen the thread going over on the Residential part of HVAC-Talk, some people would like for you to believe that Goodman only sells to reputable dealers. <snicker>

By the looks of some of these wall or shame posts, I think the hacks are sleeping while their doing the install, lol!!

[BigDaddyOhio]

The problem with most hacks is they don't know they are doing it wrong, because they have never seen it done right. Most of them don't want to learn the right way to service or install. It's a shame. The biggest loser is the end user.

Looks just like the Heil in my backyard. ( the unit, not the hack job! )

Looks like a Ducane/ Airflow inside ICP outside to me. What a kwality job

I bet that condensate 90 isn't glued. That way the pipe double as a toilet paper holder.

WoW the installer should have just tied the condensate line into the toilet tank to save on the water bill

Oh my god, your a genius. You should patent that idea.

I like how they assumed that the line set didn't need to be secured to the building, just let it hang and flop around. Amazing they put the filter dryer in the right place.

Funny you should ask that question. Its called "rednecks swapping out work" Her late husband was a siding man. His buddy was a hvac guy. He put siding on the hvac guys house & the hvac installed the equipment.
