Of all places to set an outdoor unit...

[JKopp]

Please don't set it in front of the electrical meter. This is considered against code as there is a required unobstructed clearance to be maintained in front of this electrical equipment.

by the looks of that unit, the A/C might have been there first

X2, that things older than you jkopp it came out the same day as electricity... HVAC guys claimed squatters rights.

Does that old relic still work?

Looks like an old G&S- built like tanks. Hated changing OFM's on those laying on your back.
Probably 1960's or 1970's?
Probably not original w/ a lineset cover.
Flip the unit around 180 degrees & all is good.


I've seen worse.

Real estate transaction Realtor had us out to estimate replacement. I was not going to set it back where it was.

Looks like an HS8, 1970-1975. They were tanks! If the A coil didn't leak or the drain pan didn't rust out.

Sis had one, I was up to twice a year refills! Then when the fan motor went out she called and said bring a fan motor. I brought a new system. Now 17 years later the old WeatherKing has a big hole in the condenser from dog piss and hasn't needed an ounce since install

Those hs8's are bullet proof. I seen one this past summer with a welded contactor, the suction line was 6" round with ice. I couldn't even get to the electrical it was so froze up. Still humming away. They have actual service valves, but usually seized due to rust now. I still see many every year and replace a few yearly. Between the hs8 and the York tombstone, I'm not sure which one will last longer.

I saw one that style of cabinet was a janotrol. Another one I think I ran into one time was a magic chef. They sure don't have much condenser coil area compared to the newer ones. Head pressure is high on those old ones.
