That’s a good question. I guess it depends on the environment that it is in. A great environment like dry. no mice and no sun. I’d say should last 20 years but like this place the basement is very damp and moist and the old gray flex does not hold up as long. Sometimes the insulation in between breaks down or the liner breaks down sometimes you can’t tell that is 24 years old, roughly.

You are correct. There are no clean outs and no test hole either. You’d need to pull the burner, and take apart the insert and gaskets. But it’s only necessary if the chamber needs replacing. Otherwise I wouldn’t touch it.

Nice response, thanks. I definitely say at that age it’s not ready yet. But I do understand your need for cooling over there is very important. But do a good cleaning with a hose like I did on the outside unit. Then use a hand held sprayer for the indoor coil. Clean you air filter monthly. Plus try to run water through the drain of the indoor coil. But that should happen anyway if you use enough water for the coil. Use some viper foaming coil cleaner spray on coils prior to spraying water on them. Wait a couple minutes for it to soak and then rinse them well. God speed!

Thanks for the input. That does sound high for a small tonnage, but I’m not as familiar with business down there or that type of unit. Unless it’s a gas package unit you’re talking about? That one I worked on is actually a 4 ton come to find out. Thanks for the response!

I’m broke, lol

Thanks!

Thanks man I just made another one as I’m traveling back and I’m in construction on the highway. It is the life. Let me tell ya

Tell me about it the customer did not want to remove the tree now that the radian is done. They’re going to pour a slab in the footing all in one, and then that’s gonna be all enclosed has an addition on grade.

I know

Thanks for the comment. I appreciate the information, that’s kinda what I figured. But, wasn’t positive. Thanks again.

I’m also recording with my iPhone 14. I tried!!!
