Literally Cool! Their Dometic Cooling Unit freezers have been clocked at 7 degrees below Zero. I have never had a Dometic freezer do better than 10 degrees above Zero.

Not all work going here is storm recovery. That just added to my self-inflicted burdens. I did finish the new AC install, all digital controls, now we have a Heat Pump as well as a Furnace (it is hard for me to sleep thru the Furnace cycling), the possibility of just turning the system to "ON" and it selects which system to run for climate control. I don't have a picture of the controller right now so I will add to this post later.



Since the mounting base had to be removed on the old unit all the foil tape sealing it to the ductwork had to be removed too. When I resealed the new base I used Foil Mastic Tape a far superior product. It took a couple of hours to do a very good but clean job. No air leaks at all after completion.



I didn't get a very good picture but this new Dometic AC unit has all the Evaporator Coil area insulated with molded Bead Foam. Really it is like being enclosed in a Styrofoam ice chest.



After adding the Dometic Soft Start to the AC unit skid I had to install their CCC2 Digital control box and wire it in.



The installation manual recommended using a wire connector like these WAGO units like I used here for all the terminations.



The filter and ceiling register just slides in from the sides snapping in place.



With the Trim on you can see I have to make a Trim Base to hide the marks in the ceiling from the old unit. That will be later, I have a truck to fix.
