I could fix that for you for a price??
I can afford the new furnace and A/C, it's the cost of adding insulation to a 100 year old farmhouse with plaster and lathe walls that I can't afford.
Keep in mind, there are usually two oil ports on the ones that require oiling.

Yeah and if you put more than two or three drops of oil in them spots per year your Heating and Air Conditioning Company can sell you a new motor.

Good call Murph!
And I'll also add that if you are going to use a vacuum, use the soft brush attachment so you don't flatten the fins. They are a bitch to straighten out, especially the spiney fins on Trane condensers. Also, you can use a vac to suck up the dead mice, lizards and leaves from the bottom of the condensing unit before you start washing.
Take your time and don't get in a hurry, and wait to reward yourself with a beer AFTER you have reassembled the unit and it is running again.

Especially that top oil port that drips down on your windings. That one is the two dropper!
I can tell OTC is a sharp inspector! Those were two EXCELLENT catches. Again, good eye!!
In that case, why didn't ya move the camera to the right just a little??Thanks PB.
Yeah, Murps a perv...but that was Citygirl in the photo. I ain't gonna let all you pervs check out my 16 YO daughter...
Citygirl would probably smack the crap outta me if she knew she was in this thread.
We wouldn't tell, scouts honor!!Dave, I hear ya. My brother lives in Mom's house, which was built in about 1923. He priced it, and was told it would cost about $14,000 to install central. Most of that was for re-wiring the whole house. I'm not sure if that included insulation and sealing the ceiling & floor, but I doubt it.

You've just increased service calls across the U.S by 20%
Nice job by the way.
What's with the gray?
Funny, we may even look alike.
And weren't you the one always busting my chops about wearing "tree hugger" sandals? What are those you'rer wearing on your feet?
Forgot to ask, what's the primary "set up" for residential forced air systems out in Oklahoma? (heat pump/ gas-a/c, horizontal in crawl space or upflow in basement). Any oil units out there?

If the question was posed to myself, I get up at least by 5 every morning, feed the six dogs and three cats, let them out, make coffee, log on the computer, go to the store to get the paper, then at 6:30 wake my wife up because she has to go to chuch earlier than myself because see sings (pretty cool comtempory praise band), then I finally take a shower, and get over to church to meet my wife.
If the question wasn't posed to me, I just gave you too much information
