Had to get my AC Fan motor replaced. When the guy wired up the new one he passed some wires through the top of the unit. It wasn't like that before with the old unit. He said he does it this way to keep the wire from getting into the fan blades. It doesn't look right though and I've never seen it done this way on any other AC. Won't these wires wear out in the sun though as opposed to down inside the unit? Photo...

The vibration will eat through the wire shielding in no time. Get it fixed asap

TDLR is the licensing agency for HVAC. I would strongly consider reporting him... and I'd have someone else take care of that...

Well hell, i knew I should have trusted my instincts... I just don't like to hire a "pro" then argue with them since they are supposed to be experts. But that's how I end up here lol.

is he a one man shop or does he work for one of the big cos?
if you can, get his boss out there to fix it.
if not, give him 24 hrs. then call his licensing agency and report it with pics, that is flat out dangerous.

Seems like a small shop, all the bonded and insured info on the website and truck. Wonder if shouldn't just turn off all the breakers and fix it my self, it is just a few screws to lift the top, and rerouting some wires.
