Bard HVAC Product Label Information

Bard HVAC equipment like the indoor air handler or outdoor compressor-condenser unit is identified by a product data tag or sticker that contains information about the unit.

The data tag will include two key identification fields: the product designation or identification code and the product's individual serial number.

Bard Product Designation Codes

The product designation or model identification code is a character string that provides information about the product type, features and capacity. Below we include an example excerpted from the Bard Model Number Decloding Guide PDF file also give below.

Example: Bard Model No. AB T88-B-99 encodes the size of the unit in tons as a numeric digit T eg AB 388-B-99 decodes as a 3-ton unit

Bard Product Serial Number & Equipment Age

The product serial number is a unique character string including numbers that can be decoded to give the product's age and manufacturing details.

Bard Heater or A/C Age Data Tag Decoder

Bard Furnaces Manufactured Before March 1980

Serial No. 123456MY

Years begin with B = 1962, the letter "I" is not used.

Bard Furnaces Manufactured during April & May 1980

Serial No. 123MY5678

Year code A = 1980

Bard Furnaces & HVAC Systems Manufactured After June 1980

Bard HVAC data tags for Bard equipment made after June 1980 decode as follows:

Serial No. CCCMYY12345

CCC is the compressor number

Digit 4 or M = Month encoded A-Jan etc. as given in the Bard Serial Number Month Codes table below.

Digits 5 & 6 or YY = Year 2 numeric digits

Notes to the table above

• Other letters such as E G I and O are not used, probably to avoid confusing letters with numerals.

Some more recent Bard HVAC equipment may use this simple age encoding:

Example S/N: 970909077 = YYMM12345

Where

97 = YY

09 = MM

  Excerpts
  WASHINGTON, D.C. - The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is announcing a recall of about 30,000 furnaces sold in California. Seven firms are offering to repair or replace certain furnaces, which were sold under their own labels, but were manufactured by Consolidated Industries Inc.
  
  The units involved are gas-fired horizontal furnaces equipped with steel "NOx" rods installed above the burners and are commonly called NOx rod furnaces. These furnaces pose a substantial risk of fire.
  
  All the furnaces can be identified by the steel rods installed above the burners. The firms participating in this recall are Amana Company, L.P., of Amana, Iowa; Bard Manufacturing, of Bryan, Ohio; Carrier Corporation, of Syracuse, N.Y.; Goettl Air Conditioning Inc., of Phoenix, Ariz.; Goodman Manufacturing Company L.P., of Houston, Texas; Heat Controller Inc., of Jackson, Mich.; and The Trane Company, a division of American Standard Inc., of Tyler, Texas.
  
  This recall affects Bard Brand furnaces, models: ESG040D36B ESG050D36B ESG060D36B ESG060D48B ESG080D60B ESG100D60B ESG120D60B ESG140D60B ESG050D36D ESG060D48D ESG075D48D ESG080D60D ESG100D60D ISG060D36AX ISG080D48AX ISG100D60AX ISG120D60AX

Dan,

97 = YY

09 = MM
