I am the service manager for a small HVAC shop in Goodyear, AZ. Recently I secured a contract for the city of Surprise,AZ to do all their mechanical work. They have a program for low income households every year. If you fill out all the paperwork with the city and qualify, the city will pay for some needed renovations to your home. 1 of these jobs was for a very nice retired lady on Social Security. I replaced her gas furnace, evaporator coil, and her air conditioner. There was nothing wrong with her existing equipment other than age... So I decided instead of scrapping the old equipment I would install the system on my garage.

So this project is a stand for the furnace.

The plan is to use 1" 6061 Aluminum square tubing to build a stand for the furnace. I will use some aluminum sheet to encompass the stand and use a 16 X 25 X 1 filter grill on the side.

I used my Everlast 225LX set in AC with frequency at 120, balance set to 35%, Amps set to 140, CK130 Flex with gas saver kit. 3/32" 1.5% lanthanated tungsten ground sharp using about 7lpm argon using 4043 Aluminum fillrod.

Dimensions of the stand is 28" x 21" x 21" tall.
