7 seer 3.5 ton. If its GE its before 86

It may be 7 SEER, but the 7 in the model number of those old units indicates that it has quick connect refrigerant couplers.

 

One of the old "cube" type condensers by GE / TRANE:

Model # BGTA742B1A01
Serial # 201948301

201948 - sequence number

3 - 1973

01 - week

 

Thanks rundawg & mark. I was astounded they had 3-1/2 tons in an 1150 sq. ft. house. But then I discovered they had floor returns up through the walls & across to a pan duct made of ceiling wall board on bottom, 2X6 ceiling joists on sides, and what looks to be aluminum across the joists, with a layer of 1/2" of fiberglass insulation on top. Cross sectional area I would guess to be 160 sq. in. And a 1-1/2" X 10" gap in the wooden plenum in under the furnace.

 

Actually Trane bought GE's HVAC division in 1982. American Standard bought Trane in 1984.
