Intercity Gas Co, a Canadian gas utility, had an intimate relation with Heil Quaker in the day.

That;s my guess.

According to my info, Inter City Gas didn't buy Heil Quaker until 1986. Not sure what that was but no relation to Heil in 1975. Heil was usually green, sister brand Whirlpool was usually brown.

That's when ICGas bought Heil, yeah, but they had been private labeling for a lot of companies way before that. ICGas was one of them

Why are you even wasting time worrying about a unit in the scrap heap now?

For whatever it's worth, those look like the burners from a late 1960's AFCO/Singer.

EDIT; CHB is an upright, Looks like yours was a counterflow, but the efficiency is the same.

Counterflow has the fan on the top. Don't know the rating, try 60%.

thanks rich. mine had the blower in the bottom at the back.

do you happen to have a web link to specs on the furnace or some other way that i can substantiate the model number in the event i am asked to by the OPA for rebate purposes? is it in a catalogue or something?

thanks for your help at least now i can put a model number down on the form

That's a low boy, Rich,

Cold air comes off the top rear, Evap is on top in the supply duct.

That is an old Heil or something so close that it resembles one.

Did you check the left and right side of the burner section for a data plate, Plexus.

If not the number Rich gave you is good as any.
