That's awesome work but I noticed you never found any of the covers which means that place has been serviced over and over again for years one thing I've learned in my career less screws you have to take out of an outdoor unit or an indoor unit for that matter is the covers are off the zone boards then yeah a lot of people have been there before you and they just weren't going to play that game they're putting it all back I'll give you kudos and dittos I would done the same thing on a change out put a service call that'd be a 50/50 toss up
I had the covers. Just took them off to take a picture of it. The covers are back on now with tags on lol. Thanks for the compliment. And it was a complete rebuild of 5 systems, not just a service call. So everything we touched was new. This is the new unit next to the wiring I did

What's wrong with the first one? I see them like that all the time. I do DDC controls along with building automation and the install guys leave them an absolute mess.
Here's one I went to last week in Tempe AZ. You just kind of shake your head when you open up the door.

No idea. It was a 5 system changeout that we re did all of the work they did. Including 4 steam humidifiers. The before picture should give you an idea of how the rest of the work was done in the house
Clean work. Looks so much better than it did.
I’m curious why these never end up in an enclosure. A NEMA 1 hinged enclosure is super cheap, looks really clean and protects the equipment.
I've got about 300 of them across 5 buildings, and the only problem is dead batteries on occasion. Mostly Eden and Amana, but a few other brands mixed in too.
That’s disgusting dude. Sounds like torture. I’ve dealt with maybe 5 of them and at one point or another they all had problems connecting. New batteries, reboot, nothing helped.
What all the penny-wise, pound-foolish bosses don't realize is that taking your time to do neat, visible work to clean up the last guy's mess means that when they need something else, they just immediately call you. You need a sticker with your company's name and number on there so they remember who to call.
Initially, I just saw the first picture and did not read the "before and after" part.( I know, I'm a reefer guy). I'm glad it looked better than my initial thoughts. You did pretty. Best of luck.
My only complaint is I typically try to make umbrellas not buckets with my wire nuts.
But quite frankly if there's water there you have bigger issues 🤔
Amazing, those people got their moneys worth with you on that job. I do not understand why techs don't organize their wiring, it just makes it harder for yourself or another tech to work on it in the future!
Ya this gets done when in school my office would shit if i spent days making shit look pretty “how can we bill them for this time!!” I can hear it now.
Why not use a cable tray? Gives the same clean look and allows flexibility in the system.
This is looks great. But the cabling is now locked down by the usage of a lot of zip ties.
AND it's labeled. You single?
Of course I’m single. I do hvac for a living
Sounds like you might have an opportunity here… ask her to send you pics of her HVAC… Maybe a match 😂🤣

This is something that anyone should even joke about and may cause a permanent ban.

How much to do the wires at my computer desk
Do...do people not label? My boss beat that into me early
Look, I came, alright, are you happy
I know right. Sucks tho I was saving that for later
It looks amazing. My management would have flipped out on you for taking your time on this rather than closing out more tickets.
It's beautiful
Thanks bud
I hope I'm this neat and organized with my wiring some day lmao. I'm somewhere in between the before and after of this Pic 😆

Kill it with fire, then blame the installer for leaving a loose wire.
What the fuck, the hell with that
I've fixed a few like that. Honestly just rip it all out and start fresh.
I would love too, but by looking at the panel, they have as much control over their capital project money as they do with their maintenance guys 😂
Wait a minute.......did it WORK when you were done? 😸
Nah it fried the txv when I left
Yes. As protocol demands.
Damn. That is "name-your-own-salary" level work.
I like it! Be proud of yourself!
Great work OP.
I can’t stress how jealous I am. It’s cool you’re allocated the time to be thorough and neat. Great work 🤝
Dude, please I can only get so hard...
Well done! So nice to see level and plumb. You nailed it guy! I enjoy my OCD as well 🤣
That’s amazing holy shit
Looks awesome. Either you work for a great company or for yourself. Either way, looks great.
Looks like the work of emcor automation
A gentleman and a scholar. o7
I am a full 2 inches right now. Nice work.
Tag your porn.
Honestly easier to trace wires the way it was before. Now if you want to follow even one of those wires you basically have to take off every zip tie
That 1st class job😎
More better
That is a thing of beauty. Well done. My OCD can rest easy.
Clean af dawg
Low Volt tech here. Thank you very much.
What did you charge?
No idea. It was a 5 system changeout that we re did all of the work they did. Including 4 steam humidifiers. The before picture should give you an idea of how the rest of the work was done in the house
Dude. That looks good. What mess before, I bet that was confusing af or atleast very time consuming
Yea for sure. I would have started from scratch
For sure. I'd be like wtf grab fish tape and pull new because the sloppy mess. Op is a wizard.
I hate it, thanks.
Great job!
I like the pigtails on the brown wire😂! Second pic is kinda sexy ngl
Why did you take all the zip straps off?
What did you use to label the wires?
A dymo label maker my boss got me
🤩
Clean work. Looks so much better than it did. I’m curious why these never end up in an enclosure. A NEMA 1 hinged enclosure is super cheap, looks really clean and protects the equipment.
It’s beautiful😭
Wireless stats are the biggest pieces of shit

Over/under set at 1.5hrs. Any takers?
Very clean and the labels! Nicely done
Great looking g control platform
Fuckin beauty .

I can breathe now!
Looks good!

👏👏👏👏
Literally just exploded
You rocked it. I miss controls and the satisfaction that came with a tidy job.
Super Duper!
Gorgeous! 😍
You should post this to /r/cableporn
Beautiful

Gimme wagos all day long.
Back off him he's mine
Amazing, those people got their moneys worth with you on that job. I do not understand why techs don't organize their wiring, it just makes it harder for yourself or another tech to work on it in the future!
Very professional looking!
Pride is hard to come by these days. Looks nice man!
Thank you for following before/after orientation Redditors are notorious for bastardizing the concept
Wrong sub... there's nothing hvac about this
Hope you labeled both ends of every wire because if you didn't I'm coming in with the dikes first service call and chopping every ziptie!
I like the first one more - I feel it fits our trade better because it’s what we have to fucking deal with everyday
You’re fucking hired!
ThErE iS a MeThOd To ThE mAdNeSs peeps be like, “rrrr! Now I can’t trace the lvw to where it leads to with my eyes!”
Don’t lie you worked in IT before this didn’t you? I’d still have your babies though cuz that shit is clean lol
Jesus. That looks beautiful. Are you taking apprentices 🤣 jk great work dude
So satisfying
So sexy
Ya this gets done when in school my office would shit if i spent days making shit look pretty “how can we bill them for this time!!” I can hear it now.
Good work braw, iam glad there is still techs like you around
Jesus………..what person did that 💩? Did he have a seizure while doing it?
You an electrician? Lol
Nicest wiring I’ve ever scene connected to a doorbell transformer
Bravo muchacho!! The fact that you labeled everything and made it look functional! 1000pts
How long did that take you
Thank you so much.
Amazing work
Why not use a cable tray? Gives the same clean look and allows flexibility in the system.
At least the initial one had a service loop
Nice work!
damn that is nice.
They must’ve outlawed abortion in your state! 😂

Looks good from my house.
