[MrTrainer1200]

god how loud are the start ups ?

[Daconthocon78]

What happened to the carrirer logo on the fan grill?

[Daconthocon78]

Do you still have this A.C and does it still work well?

[Daconthocon78]

I have a carier round one air conditoner at my house.

[gulfcoastdude]

My first house had a 88' Carrier RoundOne, that was back in 99'-02'. It must have finally quit because it's a different unit there now.

[thefandude21]

have that same ac unit not in good condition though

[anitarentz]

carrier is a good unit

[67tr876]

Nice one ! I my self have a 1986 1.5 ton round one.

[gatrwrks]

What kind of oil did you use on the motor?

[yuandrew]

@gatrwrks Just 3 in One

[Daconthocon78]

@yuandrew I use 3 in one oil for my fans.

[fedorauser1003]

@Daconthocon78

Bad thing about 3 in 1 oil is that it gums up over time. I suggest LPS2 to loosen the bearings followed up my ZoomSpout. Good stuff.

[fedorauser1003]

@Daconthocon78

Automatic transmission fluid works wonders as well.

[Daconthocon78]

@fedorauser1003 I use the 3 in one oil blue can and nothin is wrong.

[fedorauser1003]

@Daconthocon78

Well, lesson was learned on 3 in 1. I went to ZoomSpout afterward.

[xctome]

3.5 nominal ton unit. R-22 refrigerant. probably a 8-10 SEER. that thing is in GOOD condition!!

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

Those Carriers are built to LAST! My dad used to have a 1970 GE ac unit, but it was replaced with a Bryant in 1999. The original furnace is long gone. A 1986 Rheem is in it's place.

[Vinylrecordsneverdie]

@Vinylrecordsneverdie It's the same GE in the "Gator Air Conditioning Bradenton Florida Oldest A/C winner" vid.

[ilovedisney35]

i knew the place here in texas that had 4 air contioners two of which were this version of this with the coil exposed then they replaced them with rheem units

[fanslightsandheaters]

Did you live in this house since it was new?

[yuandrew]

@fanslightsandheaters Yep. We moved here in 1989

[classifiedinfo]

Also, could I see a video of it running?

[ilovedisney35]

@classifiedinfo i think if you look at the end of the video you see it running

[classifiedinfo]

That thing is in GOOD condition! 22 years old and still working perfectly. Do you still have the original furnace? Is your heat gas, electric, or oil?

I also have a video of my friend's 35-year old York central air-conditioners running on YouTube, you might wanna watch that.

[yuandrew]

@classifiedinfo We still have the original Carrier natural gas furnace.
