AC, furnace being replaced in our house: what scrap to keep?

[ilyaz]

We're having out furnace and AC replaced tomorrow. I want to ask the contractor to leave behind some more valuable pieces of scrap. The question is: what to keep? I don't do steel since I have no space or ways to transport. Nor do I want to bother with freon. I am interested in copper, alum, wiring and anything else non-ferrous, also motors. So...

AC: Is there anything of value there other than the fan and wiring?
Furnace: Fan + some wiring but anything else?

Thanks much

the repair man may recover the freon for you.

then you can have the A/C coil ... clip off the copper, knock the steel sides off, & save the coil

there is an Aluminum & copper line from the solenoid to the igniter

there are usually a brass fitting threaded into the main gas line in front of each igniter (3-4). You'll have to remove the candy cane shaped steel gas line to do this.

depending how old it is there is the A/C motor, Furnace fan motor, and sometimes smaller motors (follow the wires)

The solenoid can be scrapped as Aluminum breakage, or smash the heck out of it with a sledge hammer and pick up the cast Al. There is a brass fitting or 2 on that as well.

happy scrappin'
