The one thing I noticed between my old Carrier system and my new one is there are gaskets on the all the door and filter panels and there are no air leaks. Good job Carrier. The only places you should need tape is where it connects to the upper and lower plenum. This is why I always say when making a decision on who go with, price is important but beyond that, the install is extreemly important and will determine how long your unit lasts.

I know this is a little off topic but when you put in a new system you also need to know:
1) Are they using nitrogen when brazing?
2) How much vacuum are they pulling before releasing the refrigerant?
3) Are they giving you a new line set?
4) Are they insulating the new line set all the way under your water heater to the outside wall?
5) Are they insulating the condensate drain?
6) Are they providing the proper size replacement unit? Did they do a new heat load calculation?

Completely different unit than you’re. I just flush my drain out the 55 Psi water pressure. Takes about 4 mins.
