Hi Gary,

The AC unit number is between 1970 and 1973, I can't help you with the furnace as Prestons doesn't show it

Regards

Gerry

Sorry Gary, I forgot that bit of your question, it is rated at 28,000 BTU so is roughly a 2 1/2 ton unit.

BTW, it is not only older than dirt, but also very very low efficiency at 6.7 SEER. I would be warning the buyers that imminent replacement should be bugeted for

Regards

A rough rule of thumb, 12,000 BTU's per ton of AC capacity. The heating requirements for the house may be different than the cooling.

International is a lot of fun.

That one was August 1941. Nah, only kidding. It is August, but I have no idea what year. Perhaps a Preston's guy can help us with the model number.

I was going to guess 1954....LOL. It's a 3 (fan shaped) burner. 130,000 BTU input very comparable in size with today's 60,000 BTU Hi-eff units. For now I have it listed as over 25 years old and at the end of it's design life. Recommend budgeting for a furnace replacement in the near future...

Thanks Russ!

Hey, Greg.

I was doing a little more research on that one. I believe it's August 1966.

I guess I was doing the right thing not calling it ancient. It's 3 years younger than I am!! I'll update the report accordingly. This is pretty significant. Thank-you

I've got a lot of conflicting information about International. As I said, it is a fun one. I could go as early as August 1964 and as late as August 1967, but I think "mid-1960's" will probably cover you pretty well.
