I would simply recommend that all condenser piping be exposed to avoid any issues later. That means that the HVAC contractor must return to the site and correct his poor workmanship.
Who in their right mind would purposely bend the piping in order to bury it? |

Does that condensate line come out of the building and into the ground and then back up again next to the Condenser?

Where does the compressor get its power? Is that underground too?

Ill bet you that thing will back up pretty soon. The termination point looks pretty high.
Also (I am assuming that is new costruction) what happens when they put sod down. Now the pad is not the requried 3 inches above finished grade. Bill Siegel Florida Home Inspection Team Inc. |

Well, the air handler is in the attic which adds to the problem.

Slowly back away. This install may snarl and attack you.Which code haven't they ignored. No electrical disconnect? Let me guess they drip leg the drain close to the condenser for evaporative cooling increasing cooling capacity by another 200 btuhr. Lineset and thermostat wiring buried???? |
