Age of Carrier Furnace?

[drw]

Can someone help me with the manufacture date of Carrier furnace model # 58ES150-12, serial # 16A02311. It's not 1958 is it?

Thanks in advance.

No, not 1958. A lot of their model numbers start with 58. Normally, the Carrier serial numbers I see are WWYYxnnnnn. You seem to be missing two numbers before the A?

EG. (from a recent inspection)..."The furnace is a Carrier 5868C065-CB with the serial # 1888C40713." This was 18th week of 1988.

It's possible that older furnaces didn't adhere to that numbering system.

Are you sure the model# ends in "-12"?

I don't show the "-12" in the last 2 digets, but can offer the following

58ES150-(2,3)
