1-Gas supported to appliance.....
2-condensate breather for proper pressure and flow..
3-is that armour flex joining the evap drain and furnace condensate?
4-I perfer to put in-take outside for better efficiency...
5-clean the electrical wires up...{from the old t-stat wires join the new}
6-the dryer vent is to close to the condenser for my liking....nothing like plugging the condenser up with lint....
thats just to name a few things......

those IDIOTS used armour flex to keep the floor from getting wet when the drain sweats. furnaces have positive pressure drains, therefore p-traps are not needed. they do need to be capped.
the Dude stated in an earlier post that the furnace drain and the a/c drain need to be seperate, He's 100% right.

We don't do a lot of furnaces,the only thing I'd change is the way each return enters the furnace.May not be an issue ,but lower static would be gained,but may not be needed,can't tell from here.
Have the static checked,is the best advice .

Or at least an air gap after the condensate trap. Surprised no one has focused on that as it's a safety hazard. It's a direct connection between the heat exchanger and the supply air.

If it wasn't on a positive pressure drain, and ran further then it does, it would be a concern.

So it's not really a concern?
And what is this armour flex they speak of? Is that the black pipe insulation on the trap?
Thanks.

O so we can we chalk that up as a good thing about the install?
I know I am terrible I try to find some of the good things in life.

Yes, maybe your right and depending on what he paid for the job the garden hose might be hooked up to a tank of KY.
O man I did not really say that did I?

BAD EMAIL ADDRESS PLEASE FIX
Sloppy unproffesional job. Wiring issues, line set looks like ass, gas line not well supported, duct looks way too small, no filter access outside the unit the list could go on. Was this a Home Depot sale ? Also, the venting on the old Rheem, Was that plastic ??

Not a home depot sale. And before anyone suggest it was a low bid, it absolutely was NOT. The old furnace vent was the recalled plastic.Was this a Home Depot sale ? Also, the venting on the old Rheem, Was that plastic ??
12 1/2 inches. I guess this one is on me as I did the block pad. I told the installer that the plastic pad didn't need to be centered on blocks and to move it as far away from the wall as need be. He said it was okay how it was. It could be moved another 2 or 3 inches away from wall if needed.

Keep in mind.
That some people did their first install text book perfect, and evey install since has also been text book perfect.
So they expect everything to be text book perfect.
