I have been having a tough time getting a current HVAC installed.
I have known from the get-go that my apartment would be challenging. The previous owners just had a window air conditioner unit plus space oil furnaces to keep the apartment comfortable. The two of us have a moderate weather conditions here so that is doable, and however, it is not ideal. With pets, I don’t prefer to leave space oil furnaces running unattended as it is not truly safe. Additionally, I prefer to be cold at evening, especially in the summer. So a single window air conditioner was not going to split it. No. I needed central heating plus air. I had an HVAC provider come out to the apartment plus deliver myself and others an estimate. The specialist started inside of the house. He found the perfect place for all of the ductwork, vents, plus even for the utility closet. The problem arose when he went outside to find a place for the compressor. My apartment is on a bit of a hill. And, because of the water in this area, my apartment is built even higher up. This poses a problem because the compressor needs to be, more or less, level with the house. The HVAC specialist said he would need to talk to his director plus get back to me. That was over 2 weeks ago plus I still have not heard anything back. I tried calling twice in that time plus no a single has gotten back to me. So now I am laboring with another HVAC company plus they are suggesting building stilts for the compressor. I guess that would work. I just hope they guess what they are doing.
