Multi-Position Air Handler Reorientation [VIDEO]

So let's start with upflow.

What do we have to do to reorient the unit for upflow? Not a whole lot.

It comes from the factory.

Nothing.

You got it.

So nothing has to be done if you're doing upflow.

You will see a drain pan on the right-hand side of the coil.

Totally fine.

I would almost,

I would actually, I would remove that.

Yeah.

Because it's just blocking the airflow.

Right? So I would actually pull the coil, take that horizontal pan out, and that way you clear all that up.

Gotcha.

Yeah, so sometimes not specifically stated in the manual, but maybe a best practice kind of thing.

And Ralph was a DSG, so he's seen all the problems.

So he's a good resource for that kind of stuff because he's seen the issues with airflow and all that.

So, yeah, maybe if you're going up flow, you're not going to need the drain pan.

It might be worthwhile taking out, even if it's not specifically stated in the refrigerant or in the installation manual.

Yeah.

So upflow is good.

We don't have to do anything except for I think it was, Will, you started to mention it's static.

Oh, yeah, we do.

We need to take a static reading.

We need to use a manometer, get our static at least the first time we start the unit up and go ahead and make our adjustments on the airflow.
