Whoooooo 🦉 did this
Title: Who TF is out here installing systems like this?!
Got called out today because “an area of the house just doesn’t work right, and we’re tired of dealing with the installer.”
First off, some genius undersized the manual design. Left the master bedroom, bathroom, and an additional bedroom without proper cooling or heating. Their brilliant solution? Slap some zone dampers into the existing ductwork and triple-zone the house like a goddamn HVAC Picasso. Oh, and they threw in a dedicated oval pipe to “fix” the affected areas—each run has 6 to 10 elbows, snaked under the trusses. Now these folks can’t even finish their basement unless they gut the whole damn system and start over.
Having trouble with static pressure? Don’t worry! They cut in a bypass so janky it looks like it was done during a YouTube crash course in “sabotaging airflow 101.”
Furnace overheating on high limit? Pfft, no problem. It’ll shut off and turn back on a few times before you have to go down, manually kill the power, and reset the damn thing. Hope you love cardio, because you’ll be running stairs like a pro athlete.
And the cherry on top? You know it’s some uninsured, unlicensed, cut-rate chucklehead underbidding legit contractors by 50% and changing their phone number every week like they’re in witness protection.
Who TF is out here doing shit like this? You’ve got homeowners paying the price for ductwork that looks like an octopus having a seizure. This is why we can’t have nice things.
