    Endless Summer of HVAC Hackery

    Sept. 3, 2019
    The best HVAC contractors always seem to find the worst installations that need their help. It happens all summer long, as these photos show. Another installment of the "Wall of Shame."

    Summer has ended, but not the recurrence of terrible HVAC installations and neglected systems. Click through this gallery for some ridiculously bad HVAC jerry-rigs, discovered by quality contractors who share their daily adventures at HVAC-Talk.com.

    All to emphasize the value of quality HVAC contractors. 

    Thanks to all who shared. You can find these and more at www.hvac-talk.com.
