Wow, troll alert!

BTW. You wouldn't say redneck if you saw me, but being called a redneck isn't an insult.

A redneck can take care of himself. Live off of the land. Use his imagination to fix things.

Not something you can say about the modern pants sagging, cRap listening to, effeminate boys making up the new generation today!

Why are you even here looking at HVAC videos? Drive by troll by any chance?

I wouldnt work on them units for $100 a hour.

[DrZarkloff]

Cool! Sounds like a good idea.

[DrZarkloff]

You seem to be getting closer to where I grew up. W. 83rd and Thomas Rd.

8235 W. Catalina Dr. to be exact.

[hackfreehvac]

You remember the adress? Nice! I bet things look a little different out here now if you came back for a visit. :)

My brothers and sisters all met in Phoenix two years ago to bring our father's remains to rest. The old neighborhood looked pretty much the same with different people. Although there were still a few old friends left in the area. The surrounding area used to be cotton and onion fields. Now, it's just a bunch more houses and stores. My nephew goes to ASU. I might go visit him one of these days soon.

I suspect those rooftop units are replacing a swamp cooler from many years ago. Those were usually on the roof. You need to send that contractor a Thank You note for those catwalks, LOL.

Some new homes still come with rooftop heat pump units around here. But it is thought that the past popularity of evap coolers is what started the trend here. Most new homes have ground condensers but the air handlers are in nasty attics!

Catwalk looks like its rated for about 150 lbs max.  Put yer average tech on there (say, maybe even holding a tank or compressor) and, snap, there goes a weld. Oops, looks like the ole catwalk just pitched someone off the roof. I dunno, maybe I'm just imagining. Do you think these are a help or a hindrance?

[hackfreehvac]

"Do you think these are a help or a hindrance?" Well, it's hard to tell. It is CODE to have those catwalks on pitched rooftops. However, that is the first time I've seen them in this area. In California and other places they have them but looked a little more durable and went all the way around the units.

Wow that's weird how they have them on the roof, I guess you need more cooling out in Arizona. Here in upstate NY you never see rooftop units on residential houses so to me that looks very odd lol

[hackfreehvac]

Well, this is the ONLY neighborhood I have seen the catwalks which are required per code for RTU's on a pitched roof.

Now for contrast, wait 'till you see the video I'm ABOUT to edit and upload...
