| Modern | First two digits = week, next two = year (WWYY) | 3419… → week 34, 2019 |
Where to find the serial & model number
A metal or foil label on the side of the outdoor condenser or inside the furnace cabinet door.
Use the format table above to turn it into a manufacture date.
The model number tells you the size — see the tonnage guide below.
Over ~12–15 years old? Replacing usually beats repairing. We can price it.
Reading the Frigidaire / Nordyne model number (size)
Almost every HVAC brand hides the tonnage in the model number as a 2–3 digit BTU code. FSA1BE3M1S → 3-ton R-410A single-stage AC (letter-coded)
| Model code | Size | Cooling capacity |
|---|---|---|
| 018 | 1.5 ton | 18,000 BTU |
| 024 | 2 ton | 24,000 BTU |
| 030 | 2.5 ton | 30,000 BTU |
| 036 | 3 ton | 36,000 BTU |
| 042 | 3.5 ton | 42,000 BTU |
| 048 | 4 ton | 48,000 BTU |
| 060 | 5 ton | 60,000 BTU |
1 ton = 12,000 BTU/hr. Gas furnaces instead show input BTUs (e.g. 060 = 60,000 BTU input).
