When it comes to HVAC installation, the difference between a pro and a hack isn’t just performance—it’s peace of mind. Pipe Doctor Home Services recently responded to a job in Valley Stream, NY that perfectly highlights what happens when you trust your Bosch HVAC installation to amateurs.
The homeowner had a relatively new Bosch outdoor condensing unit that failed prematurely. Why? Poor installation. And when we say poor, we mean downright dangerous.
Duct Ties on Cinder Blocks? Seriously?
Let’s just say, the original “installers” treated this rooftop HVAC setup like it was a kid’s science project. Instead of a proper HVAC platform or secure anchoring system, they used duct ties to strap the condensing unit to a couple of cinder blocks sitting loose on the roof. Yes, you read that right.
First one to spot that in the photos? Go ahead and share it with the hashtag #HacksBringUsStacks—because every time we see a hack job like this, we smile knowing the homeowner will call a real professional to fix it.

The system stopped working, Bosch approved a warranty replacement, and that’s where Pipe Doctor Home Services came in. Based in Woodmere, NY, we serve the Long Island and NYC area, and when it comes to commercial and residential HVAC, we don’t mess around.
