When I pull my hand across the outside of our newly installed air handler my
hand comes back wet. This is true on most of the upper surfaces of the
unit. The installer says this is normal. I'm 70 years old and have had a
lot of Air Conditioners both old and newly installed and I don't ever
remember the outside of the AHU being wet.
Is this normal? Also there seems to be a lot of cold air coming from areas
where sections of the AHU are joined together. Would it be ok to use that
"foil" ducting tape to stop this air from coming out from these joints?

Thanks

JW

Now suggest call the installer and tell him that I said that he needs to
come back and properly set up the fucking god damned blower speed for you.

Like he said. AND, there's not one single good reason in the world why a
new installation should have leaks. The installer didn't do his job.
