I will replace the unit I have with a like kind unit which is ac and
heating in one unit. So electrical and gas is already in place so as I
see it getting the old one down and new one up is the challenge and
for that matter I will probably go to united rental and rent
equipment to remove and place a new unit.

        Name me one AC unit that is NOT 'commerically made'. Just
one. Roof unit or otherwise. Go on, name one.

up the coil.

I want to know what it is on a rooftop uint that Stormy is bolting and
fastening even though I know he's never installed a rooftop unit in
his Mormy life.
Now of course CA probably has a reg where it may have to be bolted but
Stormy aint in CA.

j,
No problem. I can fix you right up. I will setup the crane that will
come to your home. I can have the unit delivered to your home.
Its really simple. Just send me your address, the day/time you want
the unit and crane at your home and send my pay-pal account $25,000
and I will fullfill your request.
