CyKat Posted September 27, 2013 Share Posted September 27, 2013 Is it a legit practice to install this. Or just a passing fad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
innerlooper Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I think they (AC contractors) picked this up from hospital HVAC practice. Unfortunately its become one of their "upsell" gee-gaws that they get at the supply house for $79 and charge you $500 to install (in one hour, by taking 120v from the furnace without a switch). AC companies don't seem to make enough from ordinary service and need to pitch these things, like overflow switches, attic stair tents, compressor hard-start kits, Honeywell filters, and the like. Much like cars and trucks. I bet they could sell a basic pickup truck for $12000 if they only put 1994 features in, like manual window cranks and an AM radio. But there isn't any money in it. Bottom line: if you can get it relatively cheap, it might kill some bugs along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
