Two system replacement

Dave0176

Big house built in 2005 had two ICP AC systems installed. House is now for sale and vacant, not selling, so the realtor decided maybe it would be a good idea to replace the AC systems since neither are working. House has a 4 ton and a 3 ton. Unfortunately the condensers are beat because the old owner had a dog and his favorite urinating spot was on the 3 ton condenser lol. That rotted the hell outta the aluminum fins leaving only the copper. The original install was shabby as is in most development housing projects. Trunk with flex running everywhere. But it’s not my job to replace the whole system just the equipment. So we’re on our way.

What's the oil tank used for?

A portable brake and electric seamer would be good investments. Hope you masked all those joints.

I hope the blower motor never fails on the rear unit......

Oil tank. Must have hot water baseboard doubt they have two duct systems. Looks good!!!

It's hard to get a decent duct job most original installers go flex on everything, reduces the hell out of the capacity. Some flex is ok but most jobs have way too much

Getting there.

Domestic hot water and baseboard heat. Has an oil fired Peerless with a large indirect tank. I serviced that too vacuumed out about 4” of soot from the combustion chamber. Lol

All is good and yes those tools would be nice, make my job quicker too.

There’s plenty of space between the units. A good 36”-40”
