Greetings,
Lo and behold I walked into the wrong house for an inspection today and found a whole host of problems like no permits first and foremost.
Anyway it was the usual but I did see something I'm pretty sure is wrong but I can't confirm.
The HVAC system is new. It's an upright system and the condensate is picked up by a pump and pumped out. The pump is on the floor inside the return air plenum. This thing can't go in there right, electric equipment and wiring etc.? I ran into this years ago with wiring in the plenum where the wiring is not associated with the equipment, but where are the code requirements for this? This system sits in the attached garage so there are a couple of other issues with flex ducts penetrating the garage/living room wall, gas piping messed up and so forth
Like I say I've got all I need for other issues but this one confuses me.
Whatcha think folks?
