The GE executives are the oldest continuosly operating units that we are currently replacing and probably the reason Trane bought GE's plant in Tyler Texas.

Nice job. But not a big fan of drip legs supporting gas lines.
No,a GE executive 5-ton from 1982,still operational.
Was it the original AFCO outdoor unit?
The duct wrap and elbos are 24x10,there are turning vanes in the drop,spot welded inside,no rivets,no photos of the condenser,it's on a new concrete slab,with sight glass,the Trane cased coil was 2 inches taller and would have kept us from raising the furnace onto the blocks,or no duct canvas connectors which are our companies' standard.A lot of the old homes out this way have restricted ceiling height in the basements.R-22 system with new line-set .They turned down XL16i and XV95.
No cased coil??? Looks nice!
nice work. turning vanes in the elbow??? they like turning vanes.
That looks great... nice work! Did you take any pictures of the air conditioner outside? Is this a R-410A system?
There was only the 5-ton evaporator coil and another blower package in the second cabinet.The Honeywell IAQ allowed for remote monitoring,temperature averaging,true 2-stage operation,and outside temperature humidifier automation.They ruled out the 90 for cosmetic(vent pipe in front of house)reasons.

why an IAQ on an 80%
looks like a very professional install-nice work:why the 80?
Now I got pix. Go figure. Yes, beautiful job. Most would have 1 sided return. That oldie was a monster!
Tear out/demolition,3 men,3hours each,shop time 6hours,2 sheet metal journeymen 8hours each,journeyman pipe-fitter 12 hours,total(subtracting nine hours two tinners and pipefitter tear-out)34 labor hours.We used the 140k XV80,Honeywell IAQ,5-Ton XR13,Dual Honeywell F100 20x25x5 wide media air cleaners.Went smoothly,a lot of contractors in my area are not comfortable quoting this type work.
Looks like a bear of a changeout...how long that take you? XV80?
Here we go again, no picture
Very old comfortmaker Here is what I feel is a nice retro-fit.
