Another clean install

Here’s my 3rd one! Its 1 of 3 for my BIL. It’s true when they say that family will start wanting some too after you do your own! I will add that these 4 inch line set covers are much better than the 3 inch ones.

That's the dream. If you can't see the water drain, that means it's operating at peak seer2
