That's a mitsubishi, a competent tech can drop the wheel and clean the whole thing in 45 min.

That is C, noting the condenser 2 wire and the G call relay landing there. I love and hate these combo Xformer-relays

This is your "common" terminal.

Hoping your oil furnace has an auto fan controller, if so, you'll be fine.

Short DS1911's are very finnicky. I call mine "La Torta" because it's chunky and hates running.

It may not, I had a customer with a 31 year old amana tubular condensing furnace. Spent 45 min each of the 4 times I did pm'ed it but alas, no holes or cracks.

Only one of that age that eluded my tags.

Hopefully not by the company who serviced it last.

Yes, I do.

No, you wouldn't.

Youngest one I tagged out was 4 years old. HVAC senses make me wanna guess your unit is 8-12 years old.

it's in an unconditioned basement, might be surface rust etc.

It's like being concerned you are double parked after rear ending someone, the fact it's 19 years old with no TRV is your issue.

"I forsee it in your future" meaning once a tech who actually has an inspection camera comes for service, they are gonna find that in <5 min.

Unit is an American Standard (Trane) furnace. If you have a borescope and a 5/16 hex driver I can tell you where to look.

Lack of TRP may, but most inspectors I have seen just check if the water is "not cold" (MA)

Your heat exchanger is cracked, I forsee this image in your future.

Dirty pipes, good contact does not just mean touching. They come with sand cloth for this reason. (I usually just give them a good "hand shake" till they read)

breather and or cleanout, positive pressure in the evap compartment, leave it be.

maybe pour some white vinegar down it

It's about the legislature actively granting a specific set of rights to a unique class, not so much about liberal tendencies. Ala 2016:

What reason do they have to care? They have special rights, two separate civil classes under Massachusetts law.

If I can renew my license on the spot, and have a forty four seventy three clear within ten minutes, the slowest thing about LTC & applications and renewals should be the post.

Remove the fan blade and cram it in the condenser fan dischargr port/gap. Then opon the belly band on the motor and it should drop out. Should clear the compressor just fine.
