Lennox Either the first two or second two digits are the year, it varies by era, but most of them actually have a separate sticker somewhere that has the year printed on it. Newer ones are first two equals manufacturing plant #, 2nd two are year and letter in fifth slot is month.
PeerlessPrior to 1984 there was not a date code included as part of the serial number. Starting in 1984, there was a four digit date code following the serial number that was month and year. Example - JO-12345-1084, this unit was built in October of 1984. Starting in the year 2000, same idea only it was a six digit date code following the serial number that is year and month. Example - 1234567-200105, this would have been build in May of 2001.
Anything without the addition to the serial number would have been made before 1984 and would require contact with the factory.
Rheem & Rudd WeatherkingSomewhere in the middle of the serial number will be a letter. The following four numbers are the week and year.
TRANEUses alpha codes in their serial numbers to determine year of manufacture. They started this in 1987 with the letter B and skipped a couple of letters during the years... The first letter of the serial number gives the year of manufacture as follows:
O, A=80(seventh digit) U=82(seventh digit) X=84 S=86 C=88 E=90 G=92 J=94 L=96 N=1998 R=2000
T=81(seventh digit) W=83 Y=85 B=87 D=89 F=91 H=93 K=95 M=97 P=1999 Z=2001
In 2002 they started their serial numbers with the year it was built. In 2002 the first character of the serial number is 2, in 2003, 3 and so on.

First Company Air Handler Serial Number Years Chart
Have you ever needed to know the size and age of your air conditioning equipment?
Depending on the age and equipment manufacturer the format and content of data on the name plate varies, but typically the tag will allow you to discover some or the entire considerable amount of data listed here.
- Manufacturer: The air conditioning equipment manufacturer. (Carrier, Rheem, Goodman, Trane, etc…)
- Model Number,Serial Number, and Cooling Capacity: sometimes cooling capacity is coded into the model number but on most new units, cooling capacity is stated explicitly. On older equipment the BTUH cooling capacity may be encoded in the model numbers.
COOLING CAPACITYdiscusses how to read the cooling capacity in BTUH or tons from air conditioning or heat pump tags or name plates. The serial number of modern HVAC equipment encodes the year and month of manufactured date.
Serial number formats vary by range of years over which equipment was manufactured, and may vary among countries of manufacture for a given company’s equipment, for example between the U.S. and Canada for Carrier air conditioning equipment.
Example: a Carrier Compressor/Condenser Serial# 1389E54894 on a compressor unit.

FROM MODEL # – Air conditioning equipment capacity from model number
First Co Air Handler
Example: Carrier A/C Compressor Condenser Model# 38XD12400 (same unit as used for the serial number example above), there is variation in how Carrier assigned these numbers but typically the numbers indicate either tonnage or MBTUH. This example has digits in the 4th and 5th positions (right hand 5 digits), so the rating is in MBTUH for this number and “24” signifies 24 MBTUH or 2 tons of capacity.
