That Comfort Maker probably has the same Copland compressor as my old Goodman 3 ton central A/C did. Crazy to think a 3 ton unit that can cool a 1,500 square foot house being crammed into a window form factor!
I know! I just acquired a 1978 Comfort-Aire Quietmaster with 29,000 BTU capacity and man that thing is a GIANT! Can barely fit it on my workbench it is so huge. The compressor in that machine is a Tecumseh AH152HT-031 twin cylinder reciprocating design. Gets ice cold in a matter of second.
I cannot wait to see that thing run in person! Looks really clean inside for the age. Anything we can do to quiet it down would be greatly appreciated, it is a massive room but the dining table will only be a few feet away from it.
@@colinclingan8246 I am sure you have more than one, if by some miracle you live in the only house with only one window, it could be put through the wall; these things are beasts enough that is probably the best solution either way.
@@colinclingan8246 I am pretty sure you have more than one window in your house. If by some miracle you live in the only house in the world with only one window; putting it through the wall is a better option anyway.
I miss the old ACs. I miss the sound that it makes on start-up. I miss the compressor sounds the look of them and most of all the full strength cooling power. What you buy today will never match up to these kings.
When I was a kid we had an old GE window unity that was 24,000 BTU. It could be 90 degrees in the living room and when we turned it on, 10 minutes later it would be down by 10 degrees. Your face would go numb if you let it blow on your face. It was also a quiet. The 6000 BTU tiny unity I have in my upstairs office is louder than that big old one.
I have a Comfort-Aire just like yours but quite a bit older. Mine from 1978 and it has seen better days for sure. You got yourself a winner, finding one in such excellent condition. These units were well known for being excellent performers, and I am quite impressed that yours performs even better than mine LOL 🤣. I don’t know why UA-cam keeps deleting these comments but it’s quite weird. Anyways, excellent video on these monsters.
@@TheAirConditionerGuy I hope I find one just like it myself, mine has a Tecumseh AH compressor in it and is a really good machine. A B series would have been great but an AH is OK I suppose. Several videos of mine have surfaced and restoration continues strong. I wish you the best of luck finding one with A B series compressor!
My grandmother had a 1980ish Carrier International unit with a rotary compressor and it's a 12K BTU unit. The compressor is probably made by Tecumseh. Excellent unit that blows ice cold air, and it has a rotary compressor with a nice unique soft buzz and fan noise that I find very relaxing. I don't know what year they started to put rotary compressors in Window units.
Yea i was thinking thats what that smell was. The charging port is a dead giveaway. That explains the stains on the bottom of the base pan too. It was abused at one point for sure.
Reconditioned stuff from the 60s-70s-80s working great meanwhile new consumer units you're lucky to get 10 years, family member had a portable die after ONE season. Central systems failing all the time all over too. I don't see how buying new over and over is better for the 'environment' than fixing great old stuff.
theoretically it is not but for $$$ wise it is a lot of old things are being made obselute and harder and more and more money to repair compared to just buying new is why people do it my grandma pays 500$+ every summer for past 20yrs to refill her central ac unit that leaks from 1994.
That Yukon is one of the top-5 on my want list. Congrats, Dave. I did notice that the rear grille was not like the other Yukon's I used to see around my location...I wonder if that was a mod.
I think its a later version. Compressor dates to 1978. I originally thought this was an early one and we were hoping for a b series or a bendix-westinghouse compressor, until Dave read the tag for the AH.
I had one of those Carriers, but mine was a 28.500 BTU. I found it in a neighborhood where they had fuel oil wall furnaces, I took it to school when I was in HVAC Class, it had a bad condenser fan motor, what made it different to me; it had a separate evaporator motor. I don't know if it's still at the guy's house I had it stored at, last time I saw it, he still had it.

I love these giant air conditioners that are basically central air package units

Its not so bad on low but it does put out a crazy amount of extremely cold air. Its a great runner!
I love the sound of the McGraw. I could sleep to the sound of that thing in minutes
Measurements: 27x22x38: sounds like one of the Kardashians.
You win the internet for the day 😂🤣😂🤣
that first one sounded like the a/c on the heat of the night movie in the police chief office
I just don't understand how people see central air conditioning as a positive when they could have something like this.
I like to open my window

@@Alco16-251F thank you! IM looking for an early one. Hoping the originals have the B series in them

These things put mini-splits to shame.
Mini splits are the ruination of the industry
I don't know if anyone noticed but the street lights dimmed when he turned it on.

That McGraw Edison definitely has a nasty leak, it's a shame cause that will be challenging to fix.
I was afraid thats what that smell was. The charging port is a dead giveaway. Thats probably what all that black crap is too all over the base pan

you might have 500$ fir once a year but if you dont have 10k for a new unit that what can you do.
You should make a A/C startup compilation.
@@TheOrca well, i definitely have enough units to make that happen

@@TheAirConditionerGuy either way...that rear diamond grill didn't do jack shite to stop whatever mutherfuct those condenser coils...
nothing will ever top vintage units, these things blow snow even in 115 heat lmao. I hope to eventually get an old Philco Ford
Good Lord! I need this!
Wow! I have never seen a window unit that is over 30k BTU.
I had one of those Carriers, but mine was a 28.500 BTU.

Ahh yes!! The early model!! I want one of those in the worst way!
I like it
OK
I wanna see a Carrier "International series"
@@pony053 lucky you, there will be one in the next video!
I can't believe how many BTUs this windows AC is.
way better than those huge ugly minisplit systems
A time air conditioner were better they used real freon
i saw a 23.500 bru toshiba a HD for 699$ but i guarantee my old carriet 18k btu 230v blows way cooler air from 2001.
I hope you find the first generation Carrier from 1967
Me too!
Wow
Hi are you selling ac’s? And if you are do you ship overseas?
I very rarely sell anything. If i were id send them anywhere as long as the buyer arranges and pays for shipping
The McGraw has a terrible evaporator output grill design. It looks like it would actually impede air and not direct it to any direction.
