RickSab Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 OK maybe a brain fart here. I can's determine the age of this Lennox furnace. It's not on the chart. The only Identifying number on the unit is GH6-100C-1 It on two plates. I cant find anything else. Anyone care to guess an age? Your help is appreciated. It works fine and has a much newer AC installed. The building is a little over 40 years old.

msteger Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Based upon your info, I would have to guess the furnace is from the mid to late 1960s and is original to the home. BTW..Is it me or are your photos rather blurry? I had to blink a few times thinking my contacts were getting old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 My notes show that the GH6 series is 1965 or earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickSab Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 Thanks guys. The pics are a little blurry, time for a new camera? Maybe it just the guy taking the pictures. The furnace is well maintained. A tech has signed off on it a least once a year if you can believe the stickers on it. The filter looks like a bear to change. I thought it was original. The other units have newer ones. I thought it was funny that a new AC unit was put on such an old furnace but it functioned very well. The thermostat is an old one too. I think a new unit with a programable thermostat would pay for itself quickly. The condo is being bought to be rented out as an investment. The tenant will pay the gas and electric so I don't think my client cares a lot. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msteger Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 As long as the system is regularly serviced by a qualified HVAC contractor and it was heating the home up at the time of your inspection and had no issues with short cycling, venting, etc. were noted, I would list the unit as functional. I would also indicate to the client, however, that it is beyond its designed life (approx. 20 years) and a new higher efficiency model would more than pay for itself in time with a programmable thermostat.
