How can I tell the age of a Payne air conditioner or heat pump from the serial number?

Friday, April 19, 2019

The third and fourth numbers in the serial number on the data plate are the year of manufacture for Payne, so the one shown below is from 2008. This format has been used from the mid-1980s to the present.

The more recent Payne units we have seen don’t require you to know which numbers are the year of manufacture. Some of them, like the one below, state it clearly at the bottom of the data plate.

The Serial Number of the Furnace, Air Handler or Outdoor Unit depending on the equipment you have. Some Manufacturer's use Revision Numbers, Series Numbers, Product Numbers or Manufacturer's Numbers found usually where you found the Model and Serial Numbers. CE proudly distributes the Carrier, Bryant & Payne brands of HVAC systems, as well as a full-line of aftermarket parts, supplies & accessories.

How can I tell the age of a Unitary Products air conditioner or heat pump from the serial number?

Saturday, April 20, 2019

There are two different serial number formats for Unitary Products. Up until 2004, the third letter of the serial number was used to denote year of manufacture by the letter code below:

A = 1971, 1992. B = 1972, 1993
C = 1973, 1994. D = 1974, 1995
E = 1975, 1996. F = 1976, 1997
G = 1977, 1998. H = 1978, 1999
J = 1979, 2000. K = 1980, 2001
L = 1981, 2002 M = 1982, 2003
N = 1983, 2004 P = 1984
R = 1985 S = 1986 T = 1987
V = 1988. W = 1989. X = 1990
Y = 1991

So the serial number below indicates that it was manufactured in 1996, based on condition of the unit.
