All they need to do now is install sized strapping from the rafters to the unit, in order to properly suspend the unit. Then install a piped secondary condensation pan.

That'll correct this situation.

The contractor tried to explain to the owner "I only do HVAC....on the side."

I would have passed the brick work under the heating unit if they had just
added a few more bricks higher so the client could put their storage
items under the unit. It's hard to find good brick masons....

Well I guess it's "easier" than using uni strut and Threaded rod if it's gettin close to beer 0'clock!

As far as stealing the wheels .... the unit would most likely be found in "Beautiful Chelsea by da sea"
