Water Proofing
What a fool. He forgot those two big holes on the top. All kinds of rain is going to get in there. The sad truth is the customer probably paid for this, including sealing the outdoor section, only for the next guy to come along and have to cut all the sealant to get into the unit.

Nice........... Also notice the roof repair where the panel corner probably punctured it.

I don't know when their sticker is from. We took over this customer a couple months back, and the space has been occupied by a few different store chains.

These units had real cheap blower panels and return/coil/filter access panels.When the air flow would get restricted from dirty filters and coil or the Tech would amp up the motor due to poor air flow the blower would suck water in around them when it rained. That does not explain the caulking on the compressor access panels.

wut a yutz
It's a real nice touch that he covered all the screw heads but missed the power disconnect box. And, he probably left the "big holes" on top for the overflow, in case the water got too deep inside.
