I knew when the decals started burning off, the case started glowing and the ignitor case started melting, it was probably on the way out
Yeah, that'd pretty much do it. Some of the new units coming out are really kinda nice. Especially when it comes time to feed the darn things. Just by replacing our AC compressor, we were able to shave about $50 a month off our electricity bill this past summer.
Not too shabby... especially considering how hot it gets down here in Austin.
