    Main shut off is stuck

    I am just going to leave it alone and wait until I can get the main shut off at the street turned off. As Kenny Rogers said, “you gotta know when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em”

    Main shut off is stuck

    I have a main shutoff in my home that I have discovered won’t budge. I exerted quite a bit of force and it didn’t move. I didn’t want to get crazy and cause a flood. Any ideas on how to get it to move?

    I am pretty HVAC illiterate, so please forgive me. What is this green type stain that appears to have leaked out of the "coil" and has left a blue green stain. Also it has made a rust spot on the furnace. The picture is taken looking down on the furnace from the coil. Thanks for any help.
