The new outdoor unit was delivered today. Just one little dent in the cover.
But besides that, it looks to be in good shape.
It was warm today a little over 65F (now about 60), so it's a good day to pump some vacuum.
Fresh oil in the pump and we are getting down near 200 microns.
The HVAC guy should be here soon and we can crank it up and do some testing.
My wife helped me lift the old unit off the pad (and plastic mounts) and
put the new unit up on it's little pedestals. (After house painting all day)!

Edit 3/26/10:
The Sanyo seems to be working as good or better than it did before. It's been on for
about 24 hours now (saving some heating oil), putting out good heat.
I'm a little leery about doing the
High-Power test, because the amount of power
I see being used, just by calling for a 6 degree increase, makes it climb right up to 3 kW in a few minutes..
(At which time, I discontinued the test). This model is rated for 2.76 kW..
