Is there anyway to determine the year of a furnace from the information on the identification plate. I have some info regarding the furnace but am not sure how reliable it is as I was given it over the phone by the owner. I am looking to buy it but will not if it is more than 10 years old.

The info I have is: Honeywell HEDF605
SN 10154334
Model # 3020N40

Do any of those numbers look familiar and do any of the numbers include the year of manufacture.
Any help in identifying this unit would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Hi Greg,

In 30+ years of hvac service, I have never seen or heard of a Honeywell Furnace. Make sure he is giving the info from furnace data sticker or nameplate and not from the gas valve, filter, etc..



Thanks,
Robert

I was not confident I was getting accurate information from the owner over the phone.
Hopefully I will have a chance to see it myself this weekend and get more info.
Thanks

Talking to the owner again it is definitely not a Honeywell. He believes it to be a Clair or something like that. I have never heard of this maker but regardless it appears to be quite old and not suitable to invest money in to install in a home.
My options are very limited and due to time and weather I am forced to buy new. This will likely be in the range of $3-$4000 installed which is a painful pill to swallow.

Hi Greg,

Painful yes, but buying older used sometimes can lead to never swallowing again, so being safe will help over long haul.



Take care and best wishes,
Robert

I was not really comfortable buying used as I am concerned about safety. Having it installed by a professional and properly tested would have elevated most of my safety concerns but could not guarantee longevity.
The fact is I have bought this home with the intention of renovating and reselling. The profit margin on this type of home is very thin so I am being very budget minded. At the same time I want to sell a product of relatively high quality.
