I assume cuz mine only goes to 2000.
These units are younger than that.

Default Re: Furnace and AC age

TRANE uses alpha codes in their serial numbers to determine year of manufacture. They started this in 1987 with the letter B and skipped a couple of letters during the years but here we go........
1987-B 1988-C 1989-D 1990-E 1991-F 1992-G


1993-H 1994-I 1995-J 1996-K 1997-L 1998-M


1999-P 2000-R 2001-S

In 2002 they started their serial numbers with the year it was built. In 2002 the first character of the serial number is 2, in 2003, 3 and so on.


Looks to me like a 2002.

BTW, I think it's not a Z --- it's a 2.
