This one I have been holding on for a while,this is around the ECU campus area.Typical slum lord rental property,rentors called us because of our ad in the YP (we are an AS dealer)
Get to the call and I go to the door and I talk to the renter and get the gist of the call.Turn the t-stat to heat and walk to where they told me the unit was.I was under the impression that it was a package system,boy was I wrong on this one.

The problem of this unit is that the gas line was never inspected,prob cause the whole job would not have passed code.I am guessing this had a furnace here before and who ever put the AS here should have been drugged out in the street and shot.How would you like to work on the blower?
I have seen many threads about Goodmans hacked in,but this is the worst I have seen in person.

Wow. Heat 'Em & Cheat 'Em at their very best. I love the screw into the B-vent. I can't quite make out the gas line though. Is that a copper line feeding into the ball valve? Copper's legal in our state and used extensively on propane. But though it's legal, no one uses it on natural gas. I especially like the nice neat access panel cut-outs. What's the required distance to the front of the unit on those? But you gotta love those 40-inch furnaces. Yessiree, you can squeeze them in almost anywhere. Look, there's the proof.
If YOU want change, YOU have to first change.
If you are waiting for the 'other guy' to change first, just remember, you're the 'other guy's' other guy. To continue to expect real change when you keep acting the same way as always, is folly. Won't happen. Real change will only happen when a majority of the people change the way they vote!

It is legal to use copper here as well,but the utillties co has an rule around here if the gas has been turned off for over 6 months,you have to have the gas line pressure tested and inspected.If they had done that,the inspector would have caught them that they had installed an new furnace outside WITHOUT a permit.I am not sure if you can see from my pictures,the I guess for a lack of a word to describe it doghouse covering this unit is about completely rotted.Score one for the Heat'em and Cheat'um clan.Originally Posted by skippedover

Before we work on artificial intelligence why don't we do something about natural stupidity?

if he pays- don't run him off!! thats good income man!! yeah its all junk, but junks falls apart. repair it until not repairable! than let his hackers put in a new one and make money on fixing that one because they won't come back!! when i was at J&S we did that all the time to the landlords. most of them came around and just used us soley for eveything and then it was all good

I wish the slum lords around here would purchase high end equipment such as Trane and AS. Most install Aire-Pro (a CHEAP offbrand Coleman, which is sold through an appliance parts store, which is why only hacks and apartment maintenance idiots trade there). You're doing good if you are able to talk them into buying a Ducane or Weatherking.

Holy crap.
It does look like the installer co. had the same mentality as my last residential job!
And that is not spending an extra 30 minutes to make the job better for future service!
How long could that have taken to cut the entire front piece off and made a hinged or removable access cover? We sued to do that stuff all of the time in the Payson area on old homes, cabins, crawl spaces, etc!
But of course, we had something called a PERMIT to pull and code to pass. Kinda makes you do it right, or not at all!!!
I noticed that you mention my name LOL!
Is that because you notice I've dealt with stupidity? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pidene7qa88
