One thing for sure it is newer than 1981..
Call them up.

[Jerry Peck]

But with a label like that, maybe not a lot newer than 1981.

I haven't seen labels like that on things made since the 1980s, maybe 1990s, at least not to my recollection.

A quick Google search says you may be correct: http://www.buildingcenter.org/international-comfort-products

Albeit there is no letter in front, and that label looks older than the type shown on that page.

Jerry, Roy, thanks.

Roy, it's Sunday. No answer.

Jerry, the serial number; 440111200. Week (44) Year (01) Sequence numbers (11200)
I make it to be a 2001.

Jerry, No letter is throwing me off as well.:confused:
It is recent. Not more than 20 years old.


Best.
Robert

It is recent. Not more than 20 years old.

Then that fits in with the date code ' I'd wait until verifying it before saying it was 2001.

Usually, there are labels stating the standard it was tested and listed to, and those standards usually have a dash or slash number indicating the year of the standard, such as xzy 2537-02, where the '02' would indicate it was a 2002 standard, so you would know it was after that standard year, and most standards are updated on a regular basis, typically every 3-5 years (but not always).

I think it is week (44) year (01) also!
