    Condemning boards is tough, I always try to be sure because it can be a stupid expensive misdiagnosis.

    @@HVACTIME i had to condemn one that was 20 years old recently. Seems like a good design. Only complaint is Trane no longer supports parts so if they die you have to replace the whole starter. I believe cabinet and all.

    Something I don't get about this industry. You said this is dragging out for months, and the customer didn't approve replacing the third SCR. Do they not need these chillers up? Sounds like lots of follow up visits for parts that cost less than the truck roll to get them there.
