The duct work is Outstanding, but, I can see problems with the Outdoor unit, as far as clearance for service, free air space for airflow, that dryer vent being right there by the unit, & how did you...

That had to be a Hair Dryer driven on Steroids.

as there any smoke coming from it as it started glowing?

I'm interested in more details about that " I'm full of hot air" Shell. :grin2:

This "Trade War"/Tariff thingy is trickling down to the working Man.

And,... Judging from a lot of Economic Data, ... This is just the "Dust on the tip of the Spear".

LOL! I've seen many Package/Rooftop unit Heat-ex.s rusted out for the same reason Bill.

Dang! How'd that happen? How is it that the "Government Suits"/"Pencil pushers" get by with it, & yet the...

Cheyenne,

In an "AC Only", & In a "AC/ Electric Heat", The Manufacturers & Many Building Departments allow that set-up, even though, the blower motor & KW package is exposed to the moist air. Of...

After finding many "undersized" via the Factory,&mostly having Miller/Intertherm as the "Failed Equip", as well as questioning the HO about the System's performance,... I started doing a Heat...

Load Calculations,or just "Rule of thumb" Super?

Snapper,
Is that throughout the home, or only on one side? If it's one side, then I'd check the cross-over pipe for sagging, ground contact, rotting, etc.

Most of the time, these homes are set...

Uhhhh,....

Out here "In th' Sticks",... a shed is where We keep a push-mower, & A "Barn" is where We keep the tractors, combines, cattle, & at times,... "Th' Ole Lady" when she gets onry.:grin2:

Sub, "if" You want it installed per Code, & Manufacturer's specs, You can not install an evaporator in the return air.

I'm thinking that many of the problems are due to this "Trade War", & all of the Sanctions that are ongoing, as well as Mismanagement of the Manufacturers here, that didn't stock up,.... But Hey!...

What about Bryant, or Payne hvac?

I've been buying Coleman from Wenstel, out there north of the Tri-county Mall, & so far there's not been a problem.

Not sure about Lute, R.E. Michel's,...

:cheers:

Interesting.

:cheers:

You sell Kias & BMWs on the side also? I'm kidding. :grin2:

And, I understand that an HRV, beasts a simple Fresh Air Intake, by Light Years.

:cheers:

If the Customer couldn't afford the HRV, would you offer the Make-up Air?

And please, ... Don't misunderstand me here, .... I'm not trying to "Nit Pick" what You are doing Sir.

There's actually been a few over the years, that that stirred up so much crap, that I packed up my tools, & told them that I was leaving, & I did.

I Appreciate that JB.

Charging double for those 3AM Calls caused many a Customer to realize that they could get by, until I could get there, & the ones that didn't care about the cost, made it...

Adlerberts,

Are there restrictions on installing a simple Make -Up Air, kinda like a Combustion -air, in your area?

:cheers:

What th' Hale!? Where's the Screen door?! :grin2:

:cheers:

I've Missed out on, due to my work:

Holidays/ Sleep/ Eating/ Sex/ Family/ School Events/ Social Events, & more, ...... As I Built My Business up.

Now, ....What brought all of that down to a...

I Agree Oldguy.

I've used many a pre-made whip kit, that never got a Red Tag, in Hamilton & Clermont Counties, Ohio, & Yes,.. They were Inspected.

Judging from the possible heat output of that Fine piece of Technology,........ I'm thinking that the "Case Owner" is going to need at least 20 more tons of Cooling for the building.

:cheers:

That & a Hearing Aide, as well as a good pair of Glasses.

::DD:

:couchhide:

:eek2:

::DD:

Uhhhhhh Yeah. It's been Used in a very hard way.

It's not often that one actually can see were the Condensing unit has been "Used Up". :grin2:

Didn't your Customer think...

Huh?

Which Mechanical Code?

The NEC, doesn't call for UF to be run in liquid -Tite for a CU.

:grin2:

"Silence is Golden", unless of course a motor, fan, valve opening/closing would be considered a reply.

:grin2:

:cheers:

There's been a few jobs, in my past, where in order to vent horizontally, I found that I had to remove several very large stones that made a very large hole, that I had to cut stone down & then...

Condensing Gas, should give far fewer problems than oil. How are you planning to run your PVC, up the old chimney, or horizontal Kanga?

A couple of years back, I installed a Propane Condensing...

Kanga,

I've hung the equipment in 2" x 4" wooden cradles, mounted to the floor joists, that once they were braced off, the platform would easily support me climbing up in it. I've also used...

:cheers:

That looks much better, but , I've got another question, ... How high above the floor of that crawl space is the bottom of that cross-over duct from the floor?

"Horizontal would have been much more difficult." How so?

You couldn't put in a Horizontal Unit? And, was more R/A added than what appears to be that 7"? 8"? Round? Belay that,... with the Filter Rack, at the top,... is this pulling from a Floor Return?

Isn't that designed where in the horizontal position, the 3/4" PVC supports the Unit? :grin2:

pctech,

If You had a Roof jack, then the Combustion Air came from it. I understand the Snow problem, but Coleman & Nordyne/Miller/Whatever had & have Roof Jack Extensions that can be added to...

:eek2:

:cheers:

When You spend all of this time, re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-etc., etc.- Checking,.... Are You Charging by the Hour/Minute?

And they have no issues Pec?

Apply for Pro Status, & regarding ARP,,....... Walk carefully through it, ... At times it's like a Cow Field at Bob Evan's Farms. :grin2:

Does it have a roof-jack, from the Manufacturer?

The "Condensate Pump", would be determined by whether a gravity drain can't be installed, or isn't wanted.

"Fall" is required for a "Condensate Drain" to properly work, & if "it"/"They" are...

Ac,... I've not installed/serviced, any Mini-Splits, nor VRFs.

So, I'm showing my lack of experience by asking, ... How is it that some of them don't have a Filter Drier?
