GE boiler or furnace age decoding guidelines are inconsistent but at least map to before and after the sale to Trane.

• MYA123A456AA decodes as follows:
  
  M = Month encoded as A = Jan, D = Feb, F = Mar, G = Apr, H = May, L = Jun, M = Jul, R = Aug, S = Sep, T = Oct, V = Nov, Z = Dec (Note that not all serial numbers include the month code)
  
  T = Year encoded as follows: (note that after 1982 these date encodings were by Trane)
  
  A = 1944, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013
  AY = 1965 only
  B = 1945 (not used for year afterwards, as also indicated in the remainder of this list)
  BZ = 1966 only
  
  
  C = 1946 only
  CA = 1967 only
  D = 1947, 1978, 1990, 2002
  DB = 1968 only
  E = 1948, 1969
  
  
  F = 1949, 1979, 1991, 2003
  G = 1950, 1980, 1992, 2004
  H = 1951, 1981, 1993, 2005
  I - not used
  J = 1952 only
  K = 1953 only
  
  
  L = 1954, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006
  M = 1955, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007

  S = 1959, 1985, 1997, 2009
  T = 1960, 1974, 1986, 1998, 2010
  U - not used
  
  
  V = 1975, 1987, 1999, 2011
  VU = 1961 only
  WV = 1962 only
  XW - 1963 only
  
  
  YX = 1964 only
  Z = 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012
  
• 123456YWW
  
  decodes as WW = sequential week in the year Y where Y is a numeric digit.

With the caveat that you need additional information such as building age or notes on the equipment service tag or on paperwork stored nearby to guess the correct decade to which Y appears.

General Electric Air Conditioning was purchased by Trane in 1982 or by some sources 1981.

For GE heating boilers made after 1982 (or by some sources 1981) and sold by Trane may encode the equipment manufacture date in one of these formats:

123456YWW

Y is encoded as an alphabetic letter T (perhaps for Trane) for 1982

WW is the sequential week within year (01-52)

Great list of manuals! I am a historian and collector and I am looking for General Electric gas furnace product manuals that GE produced between 1968-1980. Would you happen to have any of those in your collection? Or does anyone know where I might find old GE furnace manuals? Thanks!
