First Install since starting school

[Stayte]

Started Sept 9th and have already been out on full installs. This is my first project. 2 systems. Please remember I am still in school and am only "part" of the whole. This project isn't all my workmanship. Many others contributed.

A Good one and a Goodman!

What's with the 2 brands? Deluxe A/C next to a builder A/C that doesn't even appear on their website!

Looks nice and clean, taking time to keep things strait, no purple cleaner all over the PVC, installed a plug/switch on the unit....kudos!

We will use whatever choice the homeowner makes in equipment. Sometimes it is like this I am told. No matter to me, I am getting my feet wet no matter what

Thank you very much for the encouragement. We have several more jobs right now we are getting ready to start. One is a full install with trunk, duct, furnace and heat pump. Another is furnace and heat pump, homeowner is installing his own plenum, trunk and "flex". Also have a new boiler to install in couple weeks as well. I am not paid for this work it takes the place of my classroom time, and to be honest I would rather be out doing this anyhow.

Looks good and you are in a good program. My program had a work placement portion to and its where you pretty much learn everything, ended up landing full time work 4 weeks after finishing school (no 'connections') which definitely would not have happened had I not emphasized my experience in co-op placement. Been there 6 months and the learning never ends.

Is that an operable window above the concentric vent?

[Mike Doran]

nice job but I would have put that concentric out a little further and why no purple cleaner here in mass required just asking

Everything looks good but this ^^ jumped out at me too. That concentric looks a little to close to that old wood window that probably leaks air like a sieve.

Yes, it is an operable window. However; the chances of someone operating are non existent. Early 30's couple that will utilize the climate control system rather than mother nature

BTW we can use clear cleaner here, so we do

That was my question and around here it doesn’t matter if operable 3’ from windows and doors 3’ above grade for snow.

Over all 2 thumbs up

Ducts don't appear to be sealed
No fireblocking at ceiling penetration
Concentric vent discharging into that corner may be problematic and aimed at condenser (frosting it over)

I like the unit sitting in a pan

Some idiot painted the brick outside! Not your fault but never paint masonry!

Rest looks really nice!
