I know this has been discussed all over the forums and the books I have read, but I couldn’t find a post where it was all condensed at a high level AND relative to today’s markets.

The problems we deal with are leak issues due to roof, and condensate lines from A.C. units.

Working with real estate investors, price is always going to be an issue...It needs to be a balance of pricing and quality of work...Do your research of distributors in your area and find a good quality no brand name furnace and then offer to pass along savings to your customer base...We were using Goodman, now swithed over to Air Temp 92% effeciency furnace with an Airtemp AC coil, condenser, this has saved us approx. $1,000 on an entire new forced air system.

Useful life is typically 15-20 years on the condenser and 20-25 years on the furnace.

Drywall everything above that with a no mold ,water resistant sheetrock and paint it with a couple good coats or three of good enamel paint to keep moisture away.Best part of a demo to the studs is you can replace wiring,drain plumbing ect as well as upgrade to a modern light/vent that is ducted all the way outside and insulated to prevent condense inside.

I just had both A-Coils for HVAC pulled out within the last 6 months..cleaned and recharged..no leaks were present per my HVAC guy and Condensers serviced.

I'm trying to buy a cheap shop vac that I can use in case the condensate line on the AC backs up.

.- New HVAC, return lines, air handler, heat pump, condenser.- Wood floors throughout house except bathrooms- Primed/ Painted whole house, including cabinets and front door.

I know of a friend who had his furnace replaced and had a central AC condenser put in with the new one.

The condenser unit runs in reverse to produce heat back into the house.
