    I saw one in a basement one time but it was a 3 ton. It was in a hospital and i guess the in-house guys took a cue from the refrigeration in the kitchen.

    I'm sure he thought the factory forgot to put one on there.

    Thats AWESOME!! The only thing that would have made it better would have been if he cut the deck pan to put a gooseneck piece of duct in to vent it to the outside. She must run Hot up thier.

    I worked at a site that has one installed above a ceiling right behind the open return of a 7.5 ton air handler.

    Hmmm, I bet he (the maintenance guy) tried to charge it based on thinking those were high and low lines...

    Your comfort, Your way, Everyday!

    GA's basic rules of home heating and AC upgrades:
    *Installation is more important than the brand of equipment
    *The duct system keeps the house comfortable; the equipment only heats and cools (and dehumidifies)
    *The value of comfort, over the long term; leave economic choices behind!
    Choose your contractor wisely!
