How to read Heil, Tempstar and Comfortmaker serial numbers

This covers Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, Arcoaire, KeepRite, Airquest, International Comfort Products, Lincoln. The serial number is on the rating plate, usually on the outside of the cabinet.

Reading it yourself

  • A letter, then nine or ten digits. The two digits after the letter are the year and the next two are the week of the year.

    Example: L004112345 was made in week 41 of 2000.

This is the date the unit was made. It was usually installed soon after, but it can be later. If a serial doesn’t fit any of these patterns, look on the label for a printed manufacture date.
