Is this furnace in a junkyard? - Jim Katen, Oregon My first thought was "1970", then I saw that it was a Janitrol and had to double check with Prestons. That model was made from 1965 to 1970. I guess stranger things happened other than a Janitrol lasting 36 years. Bring on the Leprechauns and Flying Pigs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 My 1971 mo-bile home is still heated and cooled by the original units (Evans). I hope to replace them by this time next year, even though they work fine. I'm sure a new system would save the kids some money and do a better job. Brian G.

drw Posted June 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Yes it was a Janitrol and yes it was still working. There was some surface rust inside the heat exchanger, but no evidence of cracks or holes. I wrote it up as functional, but near the end of its life. Thanks for the help with the age.

Reaper 7 Posted February 15, 2020 Report Share Posted February 15, 2020 My daughter is looking at a house with a Janitrol MN 20-100 SN 0365-2 the home inspection stated 55 years old. I've been trying to find a date but everything states 1st 2 digits are year and second are week but that doesn't work lol. She is having a new unit installed but would still like to confirm year of unit. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
