The unit is a hydronic forced warm air unit. First Co 30RA03 (Ser# FC 237529 406520) Any ideas?

I don't think so Wayne - the house was built in 2007. I'm guessing April of '06, but it's just a guess. Thanks. I'll call First Co tomorrow and see if I can get any more info. I'll post what I find out.

I don't see too many of these up here either, which is why I didn't have any date code info. Thanks again Wayne.

Is this setup a hydronic coil in a forced air duct system or a unitary package?

First Company stuff was being sold in Nova Scotia in the 1997-99 period. Had never seen it before.......it's made in Dallas....or was then. Thought it might be a Lennox product differently branded but I guess they are their own company.

It was a hydronic forced air system. The water was heated in the water heater and fed to the coils in the unit.
