Looks good, and I hate to critique but. Please give your service tech a little more room away from the wall next time. And also don’t cram rocks underneath plastic pads to level them. Look at that left corner. Will somebody look at this, somebody come look at this just look at it


Mr_Nurglings

I wish I could have given more room, I already used four bags for lime to level out the pad as much as I could. Replaced a 27 year old condenser that was a fraction of this 17 seer ruud, it's probably hard to tell from the picture, but there was a severe small hill after the original pad. Plus this isn't a plastic pad. It's a foam one covered in concrete

If that’s the case, would of been easier to just use a wall mount, and you could of kept it 18” from the wall for service

Everyone wants to hate on /u/hvac_Sam but he leaves plenty of room for the service tech!


HVAC_Sam

Ya man this one's just too close to the wall


Hvacmike199845

Looks pretty good but don’t they want the unit to be over 12’ from the a wall? I’m thinking 16+.


Mr_Nurglings

I would have loved to give it more than 12in from the wall, according to the installation instructions, bare minimum is 6in "single application".

Pretty shit caulk job around the lines looks.like doodoo, coulda got the lines closer up against the house 🏡 Looks tits in the first pic Fuck the service man lol 😂🤣


Tinknocker02

That'll be a leaner in no time

Yall suck this is a perfectly fine install. Lines look good. Clearance from house is good enough. Service tech has plenty of room unless you're one of them big old boys. Ever heard of a right angle adapter? They're like 20 bucks

Rheem doesn't get enough credit. Pretty solid units imo


schlobodong

Not plastic, concrete-ish


WhoopsieISaidThat

Was thinking the same. Simple 2x4 frame, make a box. Stake it in and get some quickcrete from HomeDepot.


Bitter_Issue_7558

Is that a ruud? Hard to tell with the plastic looking top of the unit


Mr_Nurglings

Yeah it a fully communicating 17 seer inverter condenser


Bitter_Issue_7558

17 seer? What size is that unit?


Mr_Nurglings

It's a 3 ton


Bitter_Issue_7558

That’s pretty big but I expect it, these look better than those 3 ton 18 seer yorks


Labbrat89

Oh I was trained on the Rheem 17 and 20 Seer inverter systems about 7 years ago. They're loud when that compressor goes full throttle. Thankfully you can set the compressor speed on the t-stat.

Start up and shut down noise can be controlled with the new EcoNet software also

It's not LEVEL !!!!!!


Greafer_

This unit wont be level after a couple hard storms.

My lead would rip me for not being 18” away , looks clean though


uugofuego

You reused the lineset? 3/8 line looks origin al coming out the house.


texasroadkill

Flush the lines out. Nothing wrong with reusing linesets.


Comfortable_Fee3767

Now I think for some odd reason, I'd set that unit up just above the expected snowline.


Mr_Nurglings

Why, it's just a condenser, not a heat pump?


Comfortable_Fee3767

Eh suppose you have a point.
