Geez, I love the part about how you're going to sue the
builder and his brother and everyone else you ever met for "UNSAFE
CONDITIONS(CONSTRUCTION DUST)" and "SLANDEROUS STATEMENTS"
http://homemyhome.com/sue.html
And you're going to sue, including the AC contractor (s):
ARE THERE ANY LAWYERS IN TOWN THAT DO NOT HAVE A CONFLICT OF INTEREST
WITH
THE CITY,
AIRPORT,
CINNABAR ,
WOOD SYSTEMS ,
TERRELL HEATING AND AIR,
HORIZON PAINTING ,
WOOD & IRON FABRICATORS AND
WHITE CONSTRUCTION , MILL CREEK?
Among your complaints :
"A copper tube that connects to blower unit from outside a/c unit
gurgles when a/c is turned on."
Well...DUH...
"2nd is I can hear my neighbors a/c unit when it's running."
I cant hear mine....but then, they cant hear mine either...its nice and
quiet...LOL
" 3rd is the sound of dripping rain vibrating through the sheetrock ,
(this was with ear against the wall, might not count)"
I missed THAT one...hilarious...
"4th was still hearing the fireworks going off at driller's stadium
tonight."
Fireworks....NOT a 737..LOL
"They did the cleaning but didn't let the Maids finish on Monday "
LOL..
"Maybe soon I can get the floor moulding or is it called trim,
whatever it is I want it pulled off and walls/doors/window areas
behind it finished "
Demanding little redneck aint he?
"To the Terrell worker who likes the F word, if you shut the opening
for underneath the house the dogs won't do that under there also if
someone calls the dog catcher again tomorrow because of my dogs being
out you will pay to get them out since you can't shut the gate."
I think he said someplace, that he took responsibility for his dogs under
the home...I mean..I own a couple, and they are MY responsibility..if I know
the basements open, and I dont want them in the basement, I make sure they
cant get there...sheeeesh...
Common sense lacking in OK...
"The rules where broken by only having one sub-contracter here by
themself"
HUH??
"Work was finally done to fix leaks, they tried anyway. Terrell was 42
minutes late"
Holy Crap Batman...do each and every job with a stopwatch...
Forget lunch man...you got to PEE??? DAMMIT man..hes got a STOPWATCH!!!!!
"Whortman Air has an ad out talking about refrigarent 22 being banned
in 2008 I believe. Combine this with the minimum Seer rating going to
12 in a couple years too gives a double whamy on the units being
installed for the project.We sign rights away for a livetime and they
give us an A/C systems which will be obsolete in a few years."
Idiot...
To think some believe this..

I have seen these pans crack in the center where the injection molding
circles are. Don't try to repair it because it will recrack. Replace
the
coil.

I really hope someone will be able to help me here; I own a 99
Oakwood
home with a Intertherm/Nordyne HVAC unit. The coils of the unit are
in
an 'A' configuration and sit in a plastic tray which rests over the
blower cabinet. Ostensibly, this is to catch the condensate and
drain
it away via a hose which leads outside.
That part we all know..its a standard slap in...the way that Oakwood
and
every other mobile home maker wanted that used that crappy Nordyne
set
up.
This part of it works fine and
I have cleared the hose more than once.
The problem I have is this; A lot of the water doesn't reach the
drain hose. Instead, it leaks down into and onto the blower
equipment
below. This has led to the sequencer and the cicuit breaker
shorting
out and they have been replaced. The repairman told me that the
drain
had gotten clogged, but that is not the case now. The water seems
to
be coming from some other part of the tray. Before I get another
serviceman out here to tell me, "Your drain hose was clogged.
That'll
be $xx.xx." I would like to know if there is another cause and
better
still, if there is something 'I' can do about it without having to
dismantle the entire cooling system.
Thanks in advance,
-Gary M-
Well...since we deal with this about once a week in a setup like
yours,
offer a few suggestions...
did the last service tech seal the pan to the blower compartment with
either
a foam tape that is applied to the top of the blower that the A coil
assembly sets on, or with a good quality metal tape around the sides,
or
a
combination of both?
did the last service tech insure that after he cleaned the drain,
that
the
coil blower and coil had a slight tilt towards the drain? Did he put
a
level
on it? Was it dead level? IF it was, its should NOT be on those..
Does your system have a proper condensate trap on the drain line? If
not,
it
needs one, or the unit, IF sealed properly, might not be draining
until
the
unit shuts down and you are getting water not so much leaking, but
being
pulled into the works..
Did they speed the fan up trying to get better air flow, instead of
properly
balancing your single duct line? In other words....has someone put
that
sucker on high, and opened all your vents in the triler? If so, its
all
wrong, and you are not getting the cooling you need, and should
have...and
the air flow could be such that the condensate is being literally
stripped
off the coil before it can flow into the pan.
Those are normally plastic pans in the coil assembly, and under
normal
circumstances, you will need to replace the coil long before the pan
gives
you any trouble. IF the rear or front of the A coils covers have
rusted
out,
its possible that the coil is getting water pulled over the lip of
the
pan
that way...
