Water Heater age

[Mark A. Simmons]

Has anybody ever heard of a Water Heater made by Hoyt? I'm trying to figure out the age of the unit but can't find anything about the company or the brand. This is the serial # 0000775952. The home is 25 Yrs.old and i couldn't tell if it is the original unit. Any takers????

Hoyt was acquired by American Water Heaters. Contact them.

It is probably a 2000 model year...

American:




The first two numbers are the year it was manufactured and the second two number are the week within that year that it was manufactured.
For example, if the first 4 digits of the serial number are 9932, then it was manufactured in the 32 week of 1999.

If this heater was made prior to American taking them over, the numbering system is probably different than the American system. You might want to call them, tomorrow.

I would call, as Jim stated. Using the American numbering system, this WH doesn't exist...

serial # 0000775952

year code....00 = 2000
week code...00 = week 0 ???
