dont you hate it when you loose a job to somebody else, then you come back to see some crap like this : /


and it doesnt keep up above 95 degrees,
and that is the filter access side of the lennox next to it /facepalm

the original was a York, if they'd of got another York, or at least something that sat the same direction it would've been ok. but the Carrier sits sideways on the old footprint. and for me, the York and the Carrier was almost the exact same price. maybe this guy does more business with Carrier and gets a "better Price."

looks like the stuff the co i USED to work for does...

Almost as bad as this one. I took pics and turned it in to the building dept. That electrial wiring is special, along witht the open gas line.

I think the worst thing invented was the adapter curb. What is the big deal of removing the old curb and installing a new one? It's not like these things don't leak and cause all manner of problems. Or maybe the same brand of equipment could be installed on the curb?

I am a Lennox dealer, but if the price has to be close, I will install a Carrier or a York to match the existing curb if it matches up.

When built and installed properly there is nothing wrong with a curb adapter. You are truly going to cut the roof up and install a new curb for a new unit? Re tarring a large area if necessary? or cutting a rubber roof and inviting a leak? It could add another 1K to the price in some cases. What if the tenate is responsible for the replacement and the building owner will not allow any modifications to the roof?

Well if you gowith the original maufacture you may still need
An adapter curb. But it will be less drastic

Love the disconnects, pretty ace work there. Will be fun for the guy that will have to work on the old unit too. Am I missing the sealtite connector going into the new unit or is it actually just shoved in there?

[VAV616]

/agree
it annoys me when people wont spend the extra $200 some-odd bucks
to get a new Fused disconnect.
what you barely see is the #10 green wire reaching over to connect to the frame of the lennox as the "ground"

the original york unit had the electrical coming up through the curb into
the bottom of the unit, another thing that annoys me even though its
designed to be that way. (hate to think i have to connect the wires with
the crane hanging the unit over me while i reach under it.)
So this fella just drilled a hole out the side of the adapter curb and looped
it to one side for the old disconnect and then back to the other side of the
unit where the power connects. just sort of tucked into the gap side of the curb adapter.
