Hvac Serial and Model numbers
Each Hvac brand has its own serial and model number and each serial and model number have a different way of telling you the information.
Trane® HVAC age How to determine the date of production/manufacture or age of Trane® HVAC Systems. The date of production/manufacture or age of a Trane® HVAC unit can be determined from the serial number. Trane® HVAC age How to determine the date of production/manufacture or age of Trane® HVAC Systems. The date of production/manufacture or age of a Trane® HVAC unit can be determined from the serial number. Trane uses alpha codes in their serial numbers to determine year of manufacture. They started this in 1987 with the letter B and skipped a.
You can’t use Carrier serial and model to decode Trane hvac units. It would be confusing and wrong.
Some hvac brand also has new code for its new hvac units. For example, York hvac had two different serial numbers for 1971 through 2004 and for 2005 through the present day. You can’t use information from 2005 to decode 1980 hvac unit, it wouldn’t works.
These air conditioner numbers mean a lot. Without the serial and model number, it would be hard to find a replacement part of that central ac unit (I’m not referring to small parts).
You could say air conditioner serial and model number is it characteristics or it identities.
The Air Conditioner Serial and Model Number Tells
Hvac model number tells you:
Types of hvac unit, refrigerant types, hvac ton, voltage, compressor series, seer rating, and other thing.
Hvac serial number tells you:
Year, month, week, day, manufacturing plant location and sequential number.

Determining Air Conditioning Age & Capacity

As a rule-of-thumb, capacity information is encoded by air conditioning

manufactures in the model number and date of manufacture info in the serial number.

There are 12,000 Btus per ton of cooling, and air conditioners are sized by every

½ ton. Manufacturers often encode the approximate rating in Btus somewhere in the

model number. Therefore it is often simple to scan the model number for a two-digit

number that is divisible by 6 and to divide it by 12 to determine the capacity rating in

tons. This number can be elusive, as it is not always exactly divisible by 6. Some

manufacturer's systems make this easier than others. To complicate matters, some

manufacturers have changed their systems of encoding data over time.

Amana

Age: Use B-L-A-C-K H-O-R-S-E code

B = 71 or 81

L = 72 or 82

A = 73 or 83

C = 74 or 84

K = 75 or 85

H = 76 or 86

O = 77 or 87

R = 78 or 88

S = 69, 79 or 89

E = 70, 80 or 90

________________________________________________________________________

Bryant

Capacity: Look for those elusive two digits in the model number usually (but not always)

divisible by 6 and divide by 12 to convert to tons.

Example: 56BAB0042000A0

42 = size on thousands of BTU

42,000 Btu = 3½ ton

From 1964 through 1979 Bryant encoded age information in the

serial number with the first two digits indicating week of

manufacture and the letter following those first two numbers

indicating the year beginning R = 1964:

R = 1964

S = 1965

T = 1966

U = 1967

V = 1968

W = 1969

X = 1970

Y = 1971

A = 1972

B = 1973

C = 1974

D = 1975

E = 1976

F = 1977

G = 1978

H = 1979

In subsequent years Bryant simplified its system where, the first two digits of serial

number = Week of manufacture.

Third & fourth digits = Year of manufacture.

Example: 3188XXXXXX = 31st week of 1988.

Carrier

Carrier has used several different codes at different plants. Information below refers to

commonly used codes.

Capacity: Commonly found in the last three to five digits of model number, sometimes

in 100s of Btus - sometimes in tons

Example:

001 = 1.5 ton, 002 = 2 ton, 003 = 2.5 ton, 004 = 3 ton, 004-5 = 3.5 ton,

005 = 4 ton, 006 = 5 ton

Or

18xx = 1.5 ton, 24xx = 2 ton, 30xx = 2.5 ton, 36xx = 3 ton, 42xx = 3.5 ton,

48xx = 4 ton, 60xx = 5 ton

Or

14xx = 1 ton, 18xx = 1.5 ton, 024 = 2 ton, 030 = 2.5 ton, 036 = 3 ton,

042 = 3.5 ton, 048 = 4 ton, 060 = 5 ton

Age: Through the 1960s Carrier used the first digit of the serial number to indicate the

year of manufacture. Example: 3xxxxx = 1963, 4xxxxx = 1964, 5xxxxx = 1965, etc.

Beginning in 1970 Carrier began to use a letter followed by a single

digit year.

Example: A1 = January 1971, B2 = February 1972,

M5 = December 1975

Note: No letter I

A=Jan

B=Feb

C=Mar

D=Apr

E=May

F= Jun

G= Jul

H=Aug

J=Sept

K=Oct

L=Nov

M=Dec

More recently Carrier has simplified things using the first four digits of the serial number

to signify the age, where the first two digits indicate the week and the third and fourth

digits indicate the year of manufacture (similar to Bryant).

Example: 3298xxxxxx = 32nd week of 1998

Chrysler Air Temp

Capacity: Rating in tons found in the fourth and fifth

digits of the model number

0 = 1 -1.5 ton

2 = 2 ton

3 = 2.5 ton

4 = 3 ton

5 = 4 ton

6 = 5 ton

Example: xx06xxxx = 5 ton

Climatrol

Capacity: Look for those elusive two digits in the model number (usually, but not

always) divisible by 6 and divide by 12 to convert to tons. It is often in the last three to

five digits, but is sometimes closer to the middle.

Coastline

Capacity: Look for those elusive two digits in the model number (usually, but not

always) divisible by 6 and divide by 12 to convert to tons. It is often in the last three to

five digits, but is sometimes closer to the middle.

Coleman

Coleman has used several different codes at different plants. Information below refers to

some commonly used codes.

Capacity: Commonly found in the third and fourth digits of the model number -

sometimes in 100s of Btus and sometimes as tons.

Example: xx30 = 2.5 ton, xx48 = 4 ton

or

xx02 = 2 ton, xx05 = 5 ton

Day-Night - Later manufactured as 'BDP' (Bryant, Day-Night, Payne)

Capacity: Look for those elusive two digits in the model number (usually, but not

always) divisible by 6 and divide by 12 to convert to tons. It is often in the last three to

five digits, but is sometimes closer to the middle.

Age: First two letters of the serial number indicate age, where the

first letter is the month and the second letter the year of manufacture

beginning with 1970

A=1970

B=1971

C=1972

Etc.

Fedders

Capacity: Last two digits of the model number indicate 1000s of Btus

Example: CF30 = 2.5 ton

Age (through 1977): Last two letters of serial number

indicate month & year beginning with September 1966

Note: I not used

A=Sept

B=Oct

C=Nov

Etc.

A= 1966

B=1967

C=1968

Trane Serial Number Code

Etc.

Example: xxxxAA = September 1966, xxxxBC = October 1968

________________________________________________________________________

General Electric

Capacity: Last three digits of model number indicate approximate rating in 1000s of Btus

Example: 21TC030A = 2.5 ton

Age: Last three digits of serial number indicate date of manufacture, where the first digit

indicates the year and the second and third indicate the week

Example: xxxxxx241 = 41st week of 1982

Lennox

Capacity: Lennox has its own code found between hyphens in the

model number

211=1.5 ton

261=2 ton

311=2.5 ton

411=3 ton

461=3.5 ton

511=4 ton

651=4.5 ton

Example: CHP16H-261-1P = 2 ton

Age: Prior to 1974 the first three digits of the serial number indicate the date of

manufacture where the first two digits indicate the year and the third is the month.

Example: 732xxxx = February 1973

Beginning in 1974 the third and fourth digits indicate the year followed by a

letter indicating the month.

Note: I not used

A=Jan

B=Feb

C=Mar

Etc.

Rheem or Ruud

Capacity: Look for those elusive two digits in the model number (usually, but not

always) divisible by 6 and divide by 12 to convert to tons.

Example: RPGC-037JA = 3 ton

Age: Four digits of serial number indicate date of manufacture where first two indicate

the week and the third and fourth are the year. In the 1960s and early ‘70s this was the

last four digits. More recently date of manufacture information is found closer to the

middle of the serial number.

Example: xxxx1872 = 18th week of 1972

Trane

Capacity: Trane has used a number of different methods for encoding capacity

information in the model number. It is commonly found in the first three digits -

Trane Rooftop Unit Serial Numbers

sometimes and Btus, sometimes as tons.

Example: SPCC-B504-A = 5.0 ton,

Or

TWS748A = 48,000 Btu = 4 ton

Age: Through the seventies date of manufacture information is found

as a number and a letter in the serial number where the number is the

Age of trane ac unit

single digit year and the letter indicates the month.

A=Jan

B=Feb

C=Mar

Etc.

Example: 1C-xxxx = March 1971

In the early ‘80s Trane began to stamp the date of manufacture in the lower right hand

corner of the data plate.

Whirlpool

Capacity: Look for those elusive two digits (often the first two digits) in the model

number (sometimes, but not always) divisible by 6. Divide by 12 to convert to tons.

Age: Date of manufacture information is encoded in the serial number

where a letter indicates the decade and the third and fourth digits indicate

the week.

G=1970s

H=1980s

Example: H43571485 = 35th week of 1984
