Is this thing working?
I have been gathering thermal scans of HVAC equipment for a while. I came across this one the other day that made me stop and take a look at little closer.
The homeowner was waiting for the HVAC guy to check all of here 3 units. I see a lot of thermal pictures of HVAC equipment on the Internet. I thought it would throw this one out there for general discussion as a lot of HVAC equipment is being evaluated with thermal cameras. Anyone take any courses specifically for HVAC/thermal inspection?

Re: Is this thing working?
No it is not new.
Here is the off cycle scan if it's worth anything. That's what got me looking.
