From Glenn Stanton, field rep for Burnham: '.The serial numbers of our boilers are basically sequential, meaning that the last four digits really have nothing to do with the month or year of manufacture. The serial number should be on the silver label on the side or front of the boiler. The serial number should be 8 numbers.

Our Ultra-High Efficiency Hot Water Boilers have been certified by third parties with thermal efficiencies up to 97%. Date of Manufacture, Burnham Boiler. Inspectionnews.net Quick Google search revealed, the following from, ahem, another HI forum: From Glenn Stanton, field rep for Burnham: 'The serial numbers of our boilers are basically sequential, meaning that the last four digits really have nothing to do with the month or year of manufacture.The serial number should be on the silver label on the side. For an HB Smith boiler the age is typically the two digits following the letter at the beginning of the serial number. In this case the '80' following the 'J' tells us that the boiler was manufactured in 1980. Smith boiler serial numbers use the format XX yyyy-nnnn where yyyy will be the.

The following are brands of boilers commonly found in southeast Michigan. This list is not all encompassing, and mistakes are bound to happen. A contentious effort was made to provide the correct information to assist in determining the age of the boiler, but due to the numerous manufactures and the variations of dating codes, no liability can be assumed.
Bryant
For Bryant boiler manufactured form 1985 to the present, the date code is embedded in the first four placeholders of the serial number. Either the first four digits in the serial number is the week and year (WWYY), or the first two four digits are the year and month (YYMM).
Bryant boilers manufactured from 1980 to 1984, an 8-digit serial number was used with the first letter signifying the month (M=January…Z=December) and the numeral in the second position (1 through 4) represents the year.
Bryant boilers manufactured from 1970 to 1979, a 7-digit serial number was used. The first letter of the serial number signifies the month (A=January…L=December), and the second placeholder is a number signifying the year. (0=1970, 9=1979).
Burnham
Newer Burnham boilers have the date of manufacture listed in the upper right-hand corner of the data sticker. Older Burnham boilers have a Byzantine age code. Look for the ANSI date and add several year to get a rough approximation of the age, or contact the manufacturer.
Dunkirk
Dunkirk uses the first two digits of the serial number for the week, and the next two digits for the year. (WWYY)
Lochinvar
1979 through 2011
Lochinvar boilers manufactured in 1993 through 2011, the first placeholder in the serial number is the production year. (1993=K, 1994=L, 1995=M, 1996=N, 1997=p, 1998=S, 1999=T, 2000=W, 2001=X, 2002=Y, 2003=Z, 2004=A, 2005=B,2006=C, 2007=D, 2008=E, 2009=F, 2010=G, 2011=H, 2012=J.)

The following are brands of furnace and central air conditioners commonly found in southeast Michigan. This list is not an all encompassing list, however, a contentious effort was made to provide the correct information to assist in determining the age of the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) equipment despite the numerous manufactures and the variations of dating codes.
First, when dating an HVAC unit, first look at the data tag, the manufacturing date may be displayed on the data sticker.
Second, look for the serial number. Sometimes the date is hidden within the serial number. For example, C12 could indicate that the water heater was constructed in March of 2012. Also look at the serial number. If there are 4 numerals at the start of the serial number, the first two numbers could represent the year, the next two numerals could represent the month or the week of manufacture, or vice versa. Compare this information to the “ANSI” (American National Standards Institute) or “CSA” (Canadian Standards Association) code dates described in the following paragraph.
Third, if the date of manufacture is not immediately evident a little sleuthing around the label may reveal the date of manufacture. Look at the lower portions of the data sticker for the letters “ANSI” or “CSA”. The four digits after the referenced standard authority usually represent the code or standards to which the furnace or air conditioner was constructed. For example, the if the “ANSI” or “CSA” year is 2006, the unit was likely constructed during a three, possibly six year window from 2007 through 2012.
Finally, if all else fails look for the brand and the serial number in the following paragraphs:
Amana (A member of the Goodman and Janitrol family of furnaces.)
For units manufactured since the early 1990’s, the first two placeholders in the serial number indicate the year (“Y”), and the next two numbers indicate the week (“W”) of manufacture (YYWW).
American Standard (Trane and Unitary)
Newer American Standard products have the month and year of manufacture on the date sticker. If the date is not readable or present on the data sticker, American Standard uses several dating codes in their serial numbers. The first code format would is the production year is the first numeral in the serial number followed by the week (YWW). A second code format is the first placeholder in the serial number is a letter representing the month followed by two digits for the year (MYY). An older code format is the first two digits of the serial number represent the year, and the next two digits represent the month (YYMM)
Arcoaire
See “International Comfort Products”
Armstrong
Armstrong uses three methods of imbedding the date codes in the serial numbers. With the first method, the first two numerals of the serial number represent the year, and the next two numerals represent the week (YYWW). The second method uses the first two digits of the serial number represent the week, and the third and forth numbers represent the year of manufacture (WWYY). The third method uses the third and fourth placeholders of the serial number are numerals that represent the year of manufacture. The letter after the year is a letter that represents the month (**YYM).
Bryant (Carrier, Payne)
For Bryant, Payne, and Carrier HVAC products manufactured form 1985 to the present, the date code is embedded in the first four placeholders of the serial number. The first two numerals in the serial number is the week of manufacturer (01 to 52 weeks in the year), and the third and fourth digits are the year. For example, the date code in this serial number “2901A18288” is the 29th. week of 2001.
Carrier (See “Bryant”)
Coleman (see York)
Comfortmaker
See “International Comfort Products”
Ducane (Also see Lennox)
Ducane uses several serial number date codes. For example, the third and forth placeholders in the serial number is the production year followed by a letter for the month (**YYM). Another variation of their code is the second and third placeholders are the year and the fourth and fifth placeholders are the week (*YYWW).
Evcon (see York)
Fraser-Johnson (see York)
General Electric
In general, all of the General Electric furnaces, central air conditioners, and central heat pumps were last manufactured in the mid 1980’s. These units are beyond the expected service life. Note that “Trane” acquired the HVAC product line from General Electric and that “American Standard” acquired “Trane”.
Gibson (see Nordine)
Goodman (Goodman brands include Amana, Janitrol)
For units manufactured since the early 1990’s, the first two placeholders in the serial number indicate the year, and the next two numbers indicate the week of manufacture (YYMM).
Heil
See “International Comfort Products”
International Comfort Products (This product family includes Arcoaire, Comfortmaker, Heil, Kenmore, Tempstar)
The first place holder in the serial number is a letter for the month followed by two numerals representing the year (MYY).
Another method of dating some International Comfort Products equipment is the serial number starts with an “L” followed by two numerals the represent the year (LYY).
Janitrol (A member of the Goodman family of furnaces.)
For units manufactured since the early 1990’s, the first two placeholders in the serial number indicate the year, and the next two numbers indicate the week of manufacture (YYMM).
Kenmore
See “International Comfort Products”
Lennox
After 1974, the numerals in the third and forth placeholder of the serial number (**YYM****)indicate the year, and the fifth placeholder is a letter the represents the month. The month codes are A=January, B=February, C=March, D=April, E=May, F=June, G=July, H=August, J=September, K=October, L=November, M=December. (“I” is omitted as it looks like the numeral “1”).
Luxaire (see York)
Magic Chef (1980 through 1998)
The date code for Magic Chef is in the third and second from last place holders in the serial number. The third from last letter is the month, and the second from last letter is the year. (****MY*)
The month codes are A=January, B=February, C=March, D=April, E=May, F=June, G=July, H=August, J=September, K=October, L=November, M=December. (“I” is omitted as it looks like the numeral “1”).
Nordine (Gibson)
Nordine uses several codes
- The first method is the fourth and fifth placeholders in the serial number is the year, and the sixth and seventh place holders are the month (***YYMM).
- The second method uses the numerals in the third and forth placeholders for the year (**YY).
Payne
Rheem and Ruud
In the middle of the serial number will the letter “F” or “M”, the following four numbers are the week and the year. (“F”WWYY) or (“M”WWYY)
Trane
See “American Standard”
York (In Michigan, the common members York family include: Coleman, Evcon, Frasier-Johnson, and Luxaire.)
The York family of HVAC equipment uses several date codes, some inherited by acquisitions of other brands. The following three formats can help date the majority of the HVAC units in the family:
The simplest format is first two numbers in the serial number are year, the next two numbers are the month (YYMM).
For 2005 and after, a ten-place serial number is used. The first place holder is a letter, the second place holder is a digit which represents the first number of the year manufactured, the third place holder is a letter followed by the fourth place holder being a digit that represents the second number of the year manufactured. For example, the serial number of “W1E3062387”, the date of manufacture was in “2013”. Turbo mailer 2.7.10.
For 2004 and previous years, the third placeholder in the serial number is a letter. This letter represents the year. Y=1990, Z=1991, A=1992, B=1993, C=1994, D=1995, E=1996, F=1997, G=1998, H=1999, J=2000, K=2001, L=2002, M=2003, N=2004.

The four digits after the referenced standard authority usually represent the code or standards to which the water heater was constructed. For example, the if the “ANSI-Z” year is 2006, the water heater was likely constructed during a six year window from 2007 through 2012.
Finally, if all else fails look for the brand and the serial number in the following paragraphs:
American (also Champion, Craftmaster, Ace, Tru-Test, Whirlpool, U.S.)
The first two digits in the serial number represent the year, the next two digits represent the week of manufacture. For example, “0732” indicated that the water heater was constructed in 2007 in the 32 week.
A. O. Smith
Prior to 2008, AO Smith used the second letter as the month code followed by 2-digits which represent the year. For example, F08 is the sixth month of 2008. (The letter “I” is skipped as it looks too much like a “1”.) After 2008, AO Smith used the first two digits in the serial number to represent the year followed by more numerals representing the week. For example, 0806 is the sixth week of 2008.

State (Ace, Barnett, Kenmore, Richmond)
Before 2008, State used a code having the first letter representing the month and the next two digits representing the year. For 2008 and after, use A. O. Smith’s code. State was acquired by AO Smith and uses Smith’s code. The first two digits in the serial number are the year followed by two more for the week. For example, 0806 is the sixth week of 2008.
Although the age of your boiler is not the main factor in determining whether it’s time to replace it, it may be useful to be able to date the installation. Imagine you move into a property that has got an old boiler installed and you have no idea when it was installed.
Super mario 74 rom download. If it turns out to be more than 10 years old then you might want to consider replacing it.
The easiest way to find an answer to the question of how old is my boiler is to look for its serial number. It’s a long sequence of digits and letters found printed on the side or on a label pasted on its drop-down front panel.
Other places to look for the serial number would be bottom of the boiler or on the installation manual (which you as a customer are unlikely to have).
All boilers will have a serial number but with the more obscure models you will struggle to figure out the pattern. It’s not like the manufacturers make it easy for us to decipher those serial numbers. In most cases the boiler manufacturing date will be coded and hidden somewhere within the serial number.
If it’s an older and discontinued model, you can attempt to find the date when they stopped making these boilers. Your best point of reference is the Building Energy Performance Assessment site who have a very convenient boiler database. Select the fuel, type, brand and model and then click on “details”. It will give you the first and last year of manufacture.
If they’ve stopped making a boiler in 2006 then at least you can assume that your boiler is no younger than 9 years. Of course, it’s not a very accurate way of telling the age of your boiler so let’s hope we’re looking at one of the main brands. Dating their products is relatively easy. So how can I find the age of my boiler? Let’s look at some of the most popular brands.
How Old is My Boiler: Baxi
Guitar pro 6 soundbanks download. Depending on the age, a Baxi boiler will have a seven, twelve or fourteen-digit serial number. Luckily, the manufacture year is always the fourth and fifth characters. For example this serial number:
BCP051100298ZX
means the boiler has been made in 2005. If you run into problems, you can check this page for reference.
How Old is My Worcester Bosch Boiler?
Although Worcester Bosch might be the most popular boiler brand out there, it is virtually impossible to date their products unless you’re a professional. Their serial numbers were designed for internal use.
No matter how old a Worcester Bosch boiler is, its serial number will contain an FD number that has the production date coded in but that’s what it is – coded. So, if you need to tell the age of your WB, you’d need to contact their support team or phone in on 0330 123 3366.
How to Tell the Age of My Vaillant Boiler?
This manufacturer makes it relatively easy for you to read the date. A serial number on a Vaillant will be between 20 and 28 characters long and in most cases the 3rd and 4th character will represent the manufacturing year while the next two characters will tell you the assembly week number.
Xex menu for usb. 26012463030010256754
This characters we’re interested in are 01 and 24. This means our boiler has been assembled around June 2001.
How to Find the Age of My Ideal Boiler
Depending on age and model designation, Ideal serial numbers read differently. The most popular Ideal Logic range will have a 24 or 25-digit number preceded with a two-letter prefix. It is conveniently split into 3 sections.
The last two sections will help you tell the age of your boiler. Starting from the 16th or 17th character you have a 4-digit code representing the year and the week of production. Then the last 6 digits represent the production date.
Ideal Logic
When attempting to read a date of older Ideal Logic boilers, keep in mind that the date is in a very weird format. It’s neither the UK nor the American way. Pre-2015 boilers are dated in a following format – YY/MM/DD.
After 2015, the date format starts following the normal UK format DD/MM/YY
XY 124854000000112 0834 08/08/18
This boiler was made in the week 34 of 2008 or more precisely, on 18th August 2008.
Ideal M Series
The M Series is following the same serial number pattern so if you need to find out how old is your Ideal M Series boiler, you’d approach it exactly the same way as if you’d be trying to tell the age of a pre-2015 Logic boiler.
Ideal Classic
The Ideal Classic is a little bit different. https://coollload786.weebly.com/pdmworks-2015-keygen-ssq-exe-download.html. Its serial number is shorter. It consists of only 17 or 18 characters. You’d be looking for the 3rd cluster that contains 4 digits; and it would represent the year and week of production.
UZ 202034 0612 00149
This Ideal Classic boiler was manufactured during the 12th week of 2006.
