Watch out: you might successfully find parts, manuals, wiring diagrams for Sears (at left), Singer or other HVAC equipment brands by searching for "Companyname Parts" online.
But keep in mind that the "Companyname Parts" provider that appears might have nothing to do with the original company, name, or brand. It's worth a call to be sure that the part number or manual are ordering is really for the equipment that you are repairing or servicing. And as we just noted above, usually you can get the information you need from the manufacturer, for free.
If your HVAC equipment is older and is one of the brands whose name has a complex history, and if you can determine the year of manufacture of your equipment it will assist you in tracking down which company is most likely to currently stock parts or manuals for that product.
To determine the age of your equipment, see AGE of AIR CONDITIONERS & HEAT PUMPS or AGE of HEATERS, BOILERS, FURNACES.
Unlike some of the other HVAC manufacturers and suppliers listed here, Tappan, a Nortek Global brand, does not make it easy to find the company address, nor telephone number (though we provide those below) nor email, nor online downloads for manuals for their air conditioners, heat pumps or furnaces. The company has a wide product line, and at least the Tappan company's website (Nortek Global HVAC LLC) offers a contact page.
TAPPAN: Became SJC Corp. in 1979 with name Frigiking Tappan. In 1982, SJC sold Janitrol line to Goodman Mfg. Tappan name revived by Nordyne in 1998 under license from White-Westinghouse.
Tecumseh Products Co., produces HVAC condensing units, reciprocating compressors, rotary compressors, scroll compressors used in air conditioners and heat pumps and other refrigeration equipment.
The Tecumseh product designation or model identification code given as the model number on the unit data tag or data plate is a character string that provides information about the product type, features and capacity.

Looking for any information on a green Texaco Fuel Chief suspended/hanging cabinet heating unit.
It has a PowRmatic uh-140 sticker at the back of the cabinet and a red Texaco Fuel Cheif model "TFR" MP 2256 burner.
It has fire marshal inspection sticker dated 3/27/74. Thank you in advance for any information as I have found very little.
The lines are currently cut to it but I believe it runs. It is located in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania USA. The garage was built early 70s.
While the Texaco Oil and gas stations were a US Wide oil company oil burners made under that brand were produced by other oil burner manufacturers and re-branded with the Texaco label.
Texaco, founded as the Texas Fuel Co. in Beaumont Texas in 1902 after oil was discovered at the spindletop well. An oil drilling company (Producers Oil Co.) was formed as an affiliate. Texas Fuel and Producers Oil merged to become Texaco, later expanding to absorb other oil companies such as Indian.
In 2000 Texaco was purchased by Chevron Corporation, in a transaction completed in the following year - 2001. Some of Texaco's interests in other rands (Equilon & Motiva) were sold to Shell Oil Co.
The oil fired equipment illustrated above lists
Texaco Unit Heaters and Texaco oil burners and other heating equipment like unit heaters, furnaces, boilers, were manufactured by other companies including:

Nice - actually impressive that this burner has performed well for so long. It would be helpful to see a sharp photo of the burner and equipment and closer photos of any data tags.
See details about PowrMatic or PowerMatic
"Texaco" the oil company, didn't actually manufacture oil burners.
Your Texaco TFR oil burner is a re-branded Beckett AF model oil burner for which we provide IO and service manuals
at BECKETT OIL BURNERS & CONTROLS
Also see TEXACO OIL HEATERS
There are, on occasion, spare parts and burner kits sold by online vendors for the TEXACO TFR-3 oil burner like the one in your photo.
On 2021-08-20 by Curtis Harner - is my old Texaco oil burner or my PowrMatic unit heater valuable?
Wow thank you for all of this. Very interesting indeed. I could not find even half of the info you've provided. I will be home in about 2 hours and will get those pictures for you. Thank you again.
Very cool history behind all of this. Also I believe it is still operating but imagine would need a tune up.
Would you know if this has any monetary value? Don't think I'd ever sell it but you never know.
On 2021-08-20 by Moderator
Can't say much about value, but the photos of old equipment and service tips and manuals are often helpful to other readers.Those old burners, yours is probably what we call a "slow speed" using a1725 RPM motor, were ultimately replaced on otherwise serviceable boiler or furnaces with newer high-speed (3450 rpm) motors and burners, requiring of course more careful tuning and adjustment. So most of the old boys are gone now.
But if the boiler isn't cracked or holed, it's usually possible to clean and service an older low-speed burner.

UTC or United Technologies HVAC equipment manufacturing date is usually encoded in the serial number
YYWW567890
or in the serial number format
XYYWW56790
(ignore the first alphabetic character, pick up the first four numeric digits, and decode them as YYWW as we illustrate here.
Use the first four numeric digits that form YYWW where YY is year of manufacture and WW is week of manufacture in that year.
The remaining numeric digits, usually 5, form a unique serial numer or manufacturing sequence number of the equipment.
This same manufacturing date encoding appears in most HVAC equipment distributed under the ICP brands of:

John,
Take a look at the data tag information on your heating system. You can see the brand, the model, and if the date of manufacture isn't right on the tag it will be encoded in the serial number.
The size of the unit or heating capacity in input and output BTUs per hour will also be given.
