Charlie,

I just started poking around this forum a couple of days ago and came across your post. You can find what I think is the same chart that Billy posted above at TIJ, another really good forum. This link will take you to the thread where the creator posted it. Just scroll down to the 8th reply and you'll find the link to the chart. The Inspector's Journal Forums - Finding furnace age (http://www.inspectorsjournal.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6607)

By the way, I see that you're just down the road.

Mike,

Thanks for the update. I saved the file so I could add page numbers. Then I noticed that the last line on the last page says "Updated February 20, 2008. Is this the correct file? Maybe you could add the update date to the top of the first page? I appreciate your work.

Charlie,

Couldn't click on your email link, don't know why it didn't act like a link.
Yes I'm a H.I. here in CO. Been doing inspections of one sort or another in the Boulder/Denver area since the 80's, when I took a job inspecting retro-fit insulation quality with an IR camera for the LEAP program in Denver. (That camera weighed about 10 lbs. & you had to hold it on your shoulder!) Joined ASHI in 2001 & I'm a member of RMC-ASHI. If you can figure out how to do it on this forum feel free to email me directly. I'm new at the forum thing other than reading them as time permits. :-)

HEY MIKE

rheem furnace today----gas valve says--9345 --serial number is cwsd302f02940262------guesiing 1994--because last four digits--would indicate 2nd week of 1962---not that old-----1994--yes
charlie

[John Goad]

1994 is correct, on rheems it's the 4 digits following the F in the middle that are the week & year.

[CHARLIE VAN FLEET]

THANKS
thats what i thought--with the gas valve saying 9346

I contacted Carrier to get the age of this coil.
They said 2009.
The homeowner has lived in the house for 4 years and said the unit was there when he bought it.

Any ideas?
