    why not get the frunace a little higher off the floor, doesn't look like there was a space issue?

    from the pic, is the side of ODU toward gas meter going to be below grade


    all in all looks good

    No need to get the furnace any higher. Dry basement. Its actually all finished now into a bar with a pool table, tile floors, a bathroom, etc.
    Yard is now landscaped and the cement pad I built is above grade more than it needed to be. The pictures are before the homes was even done.

    Looks good, the only thing i dont like in that picture is that condensate pump discharge line appears to be going up over the electrical panel. Also don't like seeing the condensate pump discharge being ziptied to that armorflex conduit, as that flex conduit isnt water tight. Otherwise, it looks great!

    These vents are a lot nicer than have two pieces of PVC sticking out of the house (the plumber put the PVC vent for the water heater). They only cost about $25.00.

    ...and yes, 1" filter...never on commercial though!

    Why on resi but not commercial?




    If you're putting in all new duct anyway why not just throw in a 4" filter rack?

    refrigerant piping is nice, drier will be a rust ball in a few years being outside, and there could be a better fitting for the return or some turning vanes in there and I dont like the roll strap on the pvc, I like a strap that is made for it like a j hook or a clevis hanger or a autogrip hanger or snap rod hangers or a trapeze and strut clamps, I know roll strap is easy, just one of my pet peeves. I dont even have a roll on my truck I hate that stuff. Also do you guys always wrap the duct when its in conditioned space? If finished basement I dont think its necessary, not that it will hurt anything. Also The electric would have look alot better with hard conduit, that was probably the electricians, I bought 50' of conduit today for $9, cheaper to buy conduit and wire than it is to use flex and it looks a whole lot better.

    whats wrong with that? not everybody wants a 4" or 5" filter, the 1" filters aren't bad. they cost a buck, change them monthly.

    looks nice, you guys always insulate your ductwork? is it worth the cost to the homeowner?

    The pictures show that you have pride in your work.
    My father always told me it only takes a little longer to do the job right.
    Well done. (I would only suggest moving the liquid line drier inside).

    nice looking job However I have to disagree with using 1" filters period.... Put in 3ms best filter and do a static preassure test. Once I became NCI certified I never installed a 1" again. condinsate pump have saftey switch?
