My new heating unit is at an angle

Feb 22, 2007 18 Replies

Hi there. I am building an new house and have just had my heating contractor install a variable speed DC blower unit under and A/C coil unit with a hydronic coil above that. The units are Goodman. I have a concern in that the components all mounted together were installed on a fair bit of an angle on both sides. This unit is in my basement. Should I have any concern that the tilt will have any adverse affect on the functioning of the unit. Specifically the bearings in the blower motor? Should I ask the contractor to make the unit plumb?



Thank you Gary


I guess you went with the lowest bidder??

Thank you Gary

We're going to install the evaporator backwards, so it drains out the back...

...since the unit is sloped that way already!!!!!

LMAO

Thank you Gary

Obviously my dad was not his boss....or he would have had is ass beat...real good

and the installer most not take pride in his work

HELL yes tell them to plum it....or give them only 75% of the money and tell them the rest fell off the top when the stack was on any angle

Thank you Gary

Actually Gary, it should be tilted more. You dont want any water left in the system. Put it close to a 45 degree angle and you should be good to go. Bubba

Bubba,

you have real talent in writing here. You should write a book. I am NOT kidding.

It should be reasonably straight. I would call them back. The bearings in the various motors don't care but the ac coil will produce condensed water and it has to drain properly or you will have problems.

I want one of those... I'll make a fortune selling bottled water.

bubba is the most incompetent tech on the planet. The guy orders parts online and has to ask the real pro's how things work.

That's why I come here though, to expose the hacks for what they are.

bobby and bubba make a very cute couple!

Respectively,

Again retard Canuck DANgER-boi. Post where I said that. Oh, thats right. You dont even know how to use a real newsreader. ........and I didnt know we had "real pros" in here. I thought we were all monkeys? Would you like ME to show you where you posted that? You are such a clueless wanna-be that I almost feel sorry for you. Bubba

"DANgER" bubba is the most incompetent tech on the planet. The guy orders

Yep, that's right... some of us buy from legit distributors that have website's for product ordering.

Saves time, check pricing and availability, set up delivery and do it 24 /

I guess you use the local hardware store... after all... all you need is some wire to jump things out. LOL
