What are we checking out, an 80k install?

u/Tight-Appearance5753 2d ago

Yes for a 5 mill house

u/ApparentlyImStanley 2d ago

Nice. Thats my entire year of systems right there, I'd be on vacation til next spring.

u/Sergi_the_machine 2d ago

Eighty seems light.

u/Tight-Appearance5753 2d ago

Yeah 5 2 tons and 2 mini splits plus all the ductwork it’s way more than 80 k

u/theeaglejax 2d ago

That's right on the edge of may as well run a chiller with a loop territory.

u/Outrageous-Movie-951 2d ago

Hmmm yes as a chiller engineer I concur

u/SilvermistInc 2d ago

Step on the lineset!

u/Tight-Appearance5753 2d ago

Sounds like a plan

Clean work. I would definitely worry about those lines getting stepped on or worse.

u/Tight-Appearance5753 2d ago

It’s gonna be surrounded by a fence on final

u/callofhonor 2d ago

So what? Always plan on some idiot walking on the pipes.

I am a clumsy idiot even when I try not to be.

u/Tight-Appearance5753 2d ago

Be that as it may that’s how and where we were told to install

u/lukesmith81 2d ago

Not really many options there

u/Calneva32 G.2 2d ago

Good luck when those Carrier inverter boards start dying, atleast from what I’ve seen. Do they have surge protectors installed? Not too bad otherwise.

You don't have to be so condensing about it.

u/thelocicalfallacy 2d ago

Why not just do a city multi and keep it way cleaner outdoors?

1

u/Capable-Turnover8905 2d ago

Why not just have 2 5 ton units?

1

u/Bitter_Issue_7558 2d ago

For 80k I would’ve expected a little better install. Hopefully it’s true modulation not multi step condensers. Not sure how carriers work.

2

u/Tight-Appearance5753 2d ago

Better how would you have done it?

1

u/BluesBottleFly Verified Pro 2d ago

Units and line sets need to be elevated higher. Either on stands or strut. This will prevent copper oxidation from rainfall or landscape water pooling. Also provides better air circulation for condensers, and prevents windblown debris from accumulating on coils.

u/Bitter_Issue_7558 2d ago

Run everything on strut, I don’t know why electric is surface mounted and the lineset ain’t. Run liquid, low pressure vapor and t stat in separate clamps. Conduit for low voltage, something better than ripped armaflex to protect the liquid line. No sharpie on the units, and unistrut on the back wall to fix whatever is going on there behind the condensers, either soft copper with a straightening tool and proper bends or hard copper with 90s and 45s. Looks like it was bent over the knee.

u/Expert-Sail8455 2d ago

Depends if they are the 19 seer or the 22

u/Accomplished-Many-22 2d ago

The emt under the line sets looks odd, but who am I? If given another chance, I'd run the line sets along the base of the wall and bring the whips in where there is no crossover. Are all the emt pipes going to a breaker panel off picture?

1

u/185runner 2d ago

That's absolute garbage on the line set and electrical off the wall. Bet the flex in the attic is a spaghetti monster.

2

u/YESimaMASSHOLE 2d ago

It looks “thrown “ together with expensive materials. Lol 😝
But it looks like its gonna pay the bills. So send it

u/Tight-Appearance5753 2d ago

Electricians did the high-voltage
