Yes we have that outside, the outdoor unit has the fan condenser and compressor, the attic unit has evaporator and fan. Someone posted a pic of the split units earlier

I put a leg through someone’s foyer ceiling. Best I got. Working in and out of their attic. Made probably 20 trips over the foyer area. Coming through the last time, and I misjudged where the rafter was. Customer was soon looking at my No. 13 Red Wing. Thankfully they were cool about it. I finished the job, put in a damage claim, we fixed it, and 2 weeks later they flooded. Lily, Inc., so YMMV.

The day before we were moving in to a new house the AC man went both feet through the roof. The only thing that saved him from a 12 ft drop was the 2x6 that demolished his nuts

Yep. But Cox will pay for the repairs
Well, that’s good. I’ve heard quite a few people complain about Cox, but I haven’t had any issues with them. I feel sorry for the guy. I’m sure that’ll sting on his evaluation.

I worked as a police officer many years ago in a relatively small town. There was a lady who imagined people would come into her house. She called the police and we would escort these imaginary people out of her house and she was fine for a few days. One night these ‘people’ were in her attic. I am waiting in the living room with her and the rookie I am training steps right thru the ceiling.

I did it a few times myself. Not completely, but I've lost my balance a handful of times when working in my attic and put a foot through.

Cox was out to install cable/internet. He fell through the ceiling in the den and wound up on the couch.

Definitely a fail.

People still don't know how air conditioners work?

That’s only half of the AC. The other half (air handler and evaporator) is inside.

Several times, I was an estimator/sales for an insulation company. Hated those phone calls.

Damn shame this has to be explained... it’s almost like they have no idea what central AC consist of

Had a guy inspecting an A/C unit in the attic of my client's house. Dude tripped and fell cracking the drain line. Client was out of town and came home to sheetrock on her floor and water dripping down. Guy tried to say "it wasn't me." His supervisor came out to inspect it and found the dudes Oakley sunglasses he was complaining that he lost, next to the cracked pipe. They obviously paid for the repairs.
