I use the carrier blue book. You can either get the software or the physical book. It has (I believe) all of the gas and oil furnaces and a/c units manufactured prior to 2003 and you can search the program by mfgr., model # or seer rating.

Most units newer than 2003 have the date on the label.

You can also usually find the date in the model and/or serial #'s.

The attached History of Names might be of some help. GE was bought by Trane in 1982

Anyone out there got info on how to decipher serial numbers for dates on GE air and furnace units? I don't run into many and most are old, but, it would be nice to be able to determine the correct age.
Thanks!

Here's a Furnace age decoder from TIJ, thank Mike O" for it, that you might find helpful.
