    In that temp enviro, how could ANY of those units last???
    The head room alone would limit heat dissapation.
    There should be a LARGE fan or blower at one end to remove some of the heat build up....

    Are top-discharge units what was originally there? I can see a location like that with horizontal discharge units (like ye' ol' Armstrongs), but top-discharge doesn't make sense.

    Most of these buildings were built in the early-mid eightys, before my time, most of them with original air handers are either GE or Carrier, so they must have been top discharge.

    Must be at least an ounce of aluminum left on those coils...
    Some of those rich beachfront owners cheap on on this kinda stuff. They would rather pay huge electric bills than properly install and maintain the equipment.
    If that was a Saturday night call, I hope you brought your swimming trunks.
