Heating and a/c is easily within the grasp of any competent homeowner, if
you do your own plumbing you should be doing your own hvac installs.
Just remember the thread dope and teflon tape and you'll be fine.

I don't know what that has to do with my question, but since you brought
it up: My opinion is that your sentiment may be ok by you, but in the
form of advice it's extremely careless. There is a hell of a lot more to
a proper install than pipe dope. Besides being able to properly install
everything there are set-up and testing --things that you probably don't
have a clue how to perform and likely don't even have the equipment
required to perform, and if that is the case then you've endangered the
lives of your tenants. If it burns you have no fall-back protection.
You'll be tried for manslaughter and be given plenty of time to ponder
your error. Just something to keep in mind.

Now, to be honest: I have only dealt with the 12

SEER and lower units. I


have never seen or worked on anything in their

"High Efficiency" line.....


The company I work for does mostly high-efficiency
installations. Always on A/C we use 14 seer or
higher unless the customer really needs to cheap
out. For furnaces we install 92.6% efficiency or
better, where ever we can. Some people can't have
exhause pipes out the side of the building for
different reasons and then we are forced to use
lower efficiency units that are conventionally
vented through a fluepipe. Goodman makes one of the
few 95% efficient furnaces. It just started
shipping recently.

What's keeping you from running the PVC through the roof?
