Charles Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Ocean front condo at Jacksonville beach. Typical condensing unit cluster. No room to work. Three flights of stairs and two ladders to get there. Cant imagine having to work on the equipment in this confining space or even getting a new condensing unit in place.

Marc Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'd write it up. I'd say the systems would likely yield less than rated tonnage because of insufficient clearance between the condenser units. I'd also write up the lack of sufficient service area. I work T&M now instead of flat rate pricing but if I were to charge flat rate, I'd bump the rates at least 50% to serve any system using a unit in this condenser farm. I've seen some bad ones but this one takes the cake. Marc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 if it is pleasant to view then it is art. I had fun looking at this image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 It's a cool picture. [] I see a couple of those units are resting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hey Mike, I know exactly what I would do if that were for a report, but would like your input to help make it a better photo for just plain old viewing. Would you strive to get it more linear, maybe centered, or leave it slightly skewed? etc.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Les, This is what I would probably do if faced with this photo. I would move a little bit to the left and try to fill up the frame as much as possible with air conditioners leaving a somewhat diamond effect, but still leave some of the sea in the background which is pretty cool. And I would move the board out of the way. A birds eye shot of this might be cool but probably impossible. I would also tell my clients to leave me alone. I'm trying to make some art here.

John Dirks Jr Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 From an art standpoint, I would title the image; "Diversity" It was not planned. It just evolved over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Baird Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 From pic, "oceanfront" is a mild adjective. Looks like high tide means everybody on first floor has to suit up! Wonder why we keep letting buildings go this close to waves? How can this building be reasonably insured? Go figure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Yeah, It kind of looks like the tops of skyscrapers on big cities when you look down on those massive roof chillers. OT - OF!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
