Hi #linkedin,
Get this, the new Air Handler is here!!! So while that unfortunate event occurred, the show went on but for removal. A famed cinematographer may shoot the video of the install process, lol.
Remember to do anything to your #hvacsystems requires EPA 608 Certification to handle the refrigerant in any manner and you won't be sold any without your physical card and identification in hand. I'm having no issues now getting the tools and parts required to install the new unit(s).
The recovered R22 from the 3 Ton was introduced into the 2 Ton with one addition, a leak detection and sealant. Upon close inspection of the all components and due to the age of the coils manufactured in 2009, the 3 Ton system is getting the boot since #Amana won't support certified homeowners.
So the quotes I got are as follows,
$26k for both units and for things (digital thermostats that I already have)
$15K for both units and again for things not needed and they didn't care
$13.5K for both units and again...
So what I've spent thus far?
$500 Digital Manifold
$140 Manual Manifold
$165 Return/Supply Plenums
$100 Vacuum Pump
$500 10lbs R22 for the existing system
$300+ for tapes, tools, hoses
$2,200 2.5 Air Handler & Condenser
I won't make you add it up, around $3900 and that fixes two systems! Main floor is cold as ice! Top floor soon.

1moThis is slick! Also would benefit during construction as certain safety policies won't allow installation in the upper plenums as it makes person rescue difficult...and you can't always just put scaffold everywhere on active sites. Very cool.
