No serial number on a Goodman unit

Yup, that corner of the data plate has mysteriously disappeared.

I can make out the 9 first digit and the 09 month digits but not the 2nd year digit.

Any ideas?

[Rob Amaral]

Well, CD book says first pair of numbers is year.. (You knew that already)...

I see the '93' in the New York comment... Any other data available about the house? Photos? It's probably an early to mid 1990's unit Erby...

Thanks Rob. It's an older house so that doesn't help with the age. I'm leaning towards early 90s but the seller insists it's only 16 years old.

I would just say that I'm unable to read the age on the data plate but that the owner indicated it was 16 years of age, which I would agree with if not more. Based on that the system is past its expected life and any further life is just good fortune!

Solved that problem!

No numbers on the indoor coil or housing?

Compressor serial number?

Numbers on a data plate say when the unit was manufactured. They don't necessarily say how long its been in service. Surely not usual, but possible these things can sit in a warehouse for extended time before being installed.

Less than a year at best I'd suggest.

One pays tax on inventory. Stuff sits around for a year, maybe 1 1/2 years at most.

Compressor number not readable. Indoor equipment was 1994.

It's old. Be ready to replace it anytime.
