Not finished. It got too hot up there this afternoon. I'll snap a few pics tomorrow morning when I finish up.

Nice work area. It would be a pleasure to service it...in the winter.
That's my home brew air conditioner.
Waiting on someone to call it hackish for hanging the AH with metal plumbing strap...

I was going to ask but figured it was temporary just to get it supported. But h ey atleast you leveled it

It's permanent.
Probably 130-140, not exactly sure but felt about like that.
If it was a furnace/evap I would use blocks or all thread/unistrut but AHs are light and it's pretty sturdy. Doors go on easy so it's square (at least for now it is).
The 4 and 5 ton air handlers tend to have problems when they're not properly supported. Those coils are effing heavy!

I agree. The aluminum coil helps though. This one is a 2 ton ah. It's a baby.

Nah. That's when I get my best sleep. Attics really don't bother me that much, I think of it as sort of like a sauna at a health club. Now if it's 20 degrees or less outside I'm virtually useless because I'm frozen solid.
The unit will fail before the strap does, it's not 1975 anymore.
The plumbing strap industry hasn't figured out planned obsolescence yet.
