Look close, its a 90% downflow heater. He bought the wrong heater, could have been the supply house mistake. Start-up guy should have caught this but a good looking install beside that. That is really not that big of deal, swap out the heater and no problem.
@kuehnehvac You brought up a valid argument. But, there were more than 300 units in this tract. I was one of the start-up guys (I caught the problem) and I know for a fact that the right (upflow) furnace was installed in this floorplan. I read blueprints with the best of'em. It was a duct connection issue in the attic. This wasn't the first time I found supply ducts connected to returns.. and vice versa. I'm pretty good at what I do.
I aim to please. Customer service is the name of this game. I'm producing a new video as I type. When I clicked the link for this page, my computer made a groaning sound and then I heard a *thud*. I'm afraid to look... but I'm fairly certain that my tower dropped a nut.
It happens. I cut the 'new guy' some slack. He's not familiar with the blueprints. He won't make the same mistake again. He's actually a really good installer that I've known for many years. But, that won't stop us from drilling him at every turn. Construction guys are a tight group. We're brutally honest. and we take care of our own.
I'm in Southern California. The job I was on in this video is a military installation. Specifically, it was military housing. I'm bound by security not to disclose the exact location. Let's just that it is within an8 hour drive of of Disneyland.
That's a 320-unit job. Almost 100 multi-family dwellings. We were already a week and a half late getting to the start-ups. I'm the only guy out there, right now. Lugging tools, nitro, vac pump, etc. from yard to yard is time consuming. I just didn't have the time to fix a ducting miscue. I plowed 13 systems that day. Full start-ups for heat and cooling. My goal is max out with 15-16/day.

Our installers are paid per hour. This muck-up was performed by "the new guy on the job site".

The last buffer is the start-up technician. We have to identify problems and fix them.

Wow looks like the same "quality" we see here in the midwest... It keeps us service techs busy tho...lol
