How old is my Amana furnace or AC?

Type the serial number from the Amana label to see when it was built. Amana units are built by Goodman, so the serials follow that company's format.

Example

0702112056
  • 07Year: 07 = 2007
  • 02Month: 02 = February

Built February 2007

19 years, 8 months old

In replacement window. Inside the usual 15 to 25 year lifespan, so replacement could come any time. Worth budgeting for it.

What to do now

  • Get a replacement quote now, before a breakdown in the hottest or coldest week forces a rushed choice.
  • A common rule of thumb: if the repair cost times the age in years is over 5,000, replacing usually makes more sense.
  • Ask about rebates. Many utilities and states pay toward a high-efficiency replacement.
  • Some home insurers and home buyers’ inspectors ask the age of the HVAC system. Florida 4-point inspections record it.
  • Most HVAC parts warranties run 5 to 10 years and require registration within 60 to 90 days of install. Check with the installer.

Reading a Amana serial number
