Follow up: As anticipated based on experience now w/Beehive, the install failed two out of four inspections. Beehive failed to calculate proper air space-btu ratio. If they had, we could have altered existing doors to room where funace is located (along w/water heater and clothes dryer). Doing those initial calculations should have been elemental for experienced HVAC installer. It's code and they failed, consequently, we failed. Also, unit had no visible sticker displaying proper btu's. Also against plumbing code.
Failed to completely tape larger plenum to furnace, allowing warm air leakage.
Failed electrical beccause: (a) they used fuses larger than mnftr required on air compressor. Would have voided warranty if something had gone wrong; (b) electrical cable not fastened to wall; (c) no ground screw in new outlet installed for furnace and condensate pump.
Minor you say? Not minor considering one could have caused potential fire and the remaining have delayed passed inspection. Inspectors need to come back. (Another day wasted). And installer needs to come back to correct mistakes. (Yet another day wasted).
Energy rebate papers yet to arrive. Mules must be slow this time of year. Bears repeating: there's not only other HVAC installers in the sea, but ones that swim a helluva lot better and care if you're drowing or not. I wouldn't trust these guys at Beehive to throw a life jacket and frankly, I could give a rat's behind if they see this and get pissed. Believe me...no way could they be half as pissed as I am.
