I wonder if the gardener installed it.

 

GGRRRRAAWWWWRRR...looks like a monster with tentacles out his head...but ive been drinking also

 

Unreal looks like most of the track house stuff around here.

 

what happens when someone needs to get to the valve or burners. For us old guys with bi-focals...I hate working where I can't get my head in close enough to read or see the crap I'm working on.

 

that trane might be stopped

 

I like going to open houses on nice new neighborhoods. The models tend to have the same hack jobs as the rest of the homes.

 

At least it has plenty of RA

 

I think I like the custom gas line the most.

 

it's got a drip legileon:
that install is an abortion that went bad!

 

I bet they have 12K in counter tops.........

 

At least $10k for countertops...out of sight out of mind??

 

on your mark, get set, go 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 i'm done. i'll see you guys next door

 

Looks like the typical job for a track home HVAC co around here.Infact it actually looks better than most.The last one I went to was a 2 zone system for a one story with a frog and they had a 1 1/2" by 1 1/4" black iron reducer holding the bypass damper close.Supply was a nightmare and return was not better.

 

A frog??:eek2:

What`s that supposed to mean?

 

Finished
Room
Over
Garage

 

It's amazing what you see at these high end home shows.
And the things the builders and subs get by with hiding in attics, basements, and crawl spaces.

 

How much were the houses?

+

And how does that pass inspection?

 

About $330-$350K... about the inspection, I don't know

 

DANGER , DANGER , WILL ROBINSON!!!

 

Thats exactly what came to my mind also.

 

Was that an upflow in the attic? I would have thought the building designer would spec out what would be required in a new construction.

 

THATS IS STUPID crazy i cannt beleive my eye's. Did they seriously run the gas line right in front of the door's as well. Some people have no brain and should not be in the hvac field

 

WTF is that?? u said this is in a exclusive gate community and in a builder's show case? I guess the contractor went with the lowest subbie's bid... that is just ridiculous...

 

Just HORRENDOUS.

 

Looks like my house when we bought it.

 

The money probably went into the ****en granite countertops, hardwood floors, and super-inefficient pot lights - nothing left for insulation, good electrical or HVAC equipment.

 

Definitely lowest bidder, its not even a high efficiency unit.
Any chance the insulation dust will be sucked into the unit?

 

it's definetly typical new construction or at least in these parts.

The only thing I could see wrong is there's no secondary from coil, no P-trap, flex not strapped, r/a plenums not strapped, gas line not to code, the hard 90's on r/a flex, lack of mastic, furnace standing directly in emergency pan, and primary drain is not insulated nor secured. Other than that it's not that bad of an install

 

you get what you pay for I reckon.atriot:
