    Nice to see an AlliedAir install... that is my primary brand.

    We have the AirEase... which IMO is a hokey name...
    Wish we had ArmstrongAir...

    So... is it a VS furnace... most of mine are...

    Looks ok. A few things I likely would've done different but overall pretty good.

    We have a serious humidity issue here in HOTlanta...

    Once folks experience a VS furnace... they never go back.

    Figured the location below the meter was one of those: no other choice... things.

    Would not pass inspection here...

    If you pulled an electrical permit you are going to fail inspection. You blocked off the access to the electrical panel it must have 30" of clearance.

    the line with the line dryer in it is way to close to the exhaust flue.
    and the out side unit would be red tagged and shut down in Maine no access to the panel behind the unit.
    other wise looks nice

    I would of ran my lineset in some slim duct to the left and put it I front of that bump out that has siding on it. Or it's an external chimney. Either way that would not of been an expensive add on to get it out of that corner with more room to work on it.

    Used to be a couple of ArmstrongAir suppliers in the area... they seem to be drying up (or I do not know who carries the brand now).
    There are a handful of small suppliers who handle Ducane or Concord. One of them is thinking to take on ArmstrongAir again (again, as they used to handle it).

    My main supplier, CC Dickson, was bought by U/R...
    While UR 'says' they are gonna continue to handle AlliedAir...
    IMO (and others opinion also)...
    UR already handles ICP and ThermalZone (Rheem)...
    They will figure out a way to phase out AlliedAir.

    I am looking around now...
    Not sure if I will stick with AlliedAir,
    Or switch.

    A local Mom/Pop shop... is an ICP shop...
    EXCELLENT customer service! ! ! ! !
    May well go that route...
    Rheem is in the running also... but they are costly!

    CHANGE seems to be in the air... we will see.

    One name that is NOT in the running: Ruud.
    The local supply house let go my local branch manager... for questionable reasons.

    I am one that deals with the manager... not the shop...
    And now that he is gone... that shop is not somewhere I want to deal with.

    Don't like the condensate drain being tied into a smaller copper line. Wouldn't of ran lineset in front of coil and exhaust piping. Condenser completely blocks off all service are for electrical panels. Would love to hear the electrician who gets called out there.
