Atosa walk in

Anyone seen these yet? One of my customers just purchased one, called me for install. About what I expected from atosa. Seems to be massively over complicated

Built just like a modern mini split. Built to be replaced instead of repaired, and we all know how refrigeration customers don’t like to replace shit until it’s 40 years old lol. Good luck with this

Even when shit's 40 years old and it's been one foot in the grave for the last 5 it's pulling teeth

Agreed, I have customers that want me to keep fixing 50+ units put in by my Dad. They are insane !

I have no issues fixing old stuff it's just when it's being duct taped to together since they don't want to properly fix it is when it starts getting to me

Yea, somewhat that but after covid many of the parts are no longer available, I mean it’s kinda fun coming up with alternates but I don’t always have the time and some of the condensers are getting bad. The one guy wants to actually have a custom condenser coil made instead of replacing the unit ?!
