Common Johnson AirEase Serial Number Formats for Age Decoding

All numeric Johnson AirEase serial number, 10-digits

All numbers, no letters in serial number.

123456YYWW where YY = Year and WW = production week

Example serial No: 3498180031 where 00 = year 2000 and 31 = week 31

 

Alphanumeric Johnson AirEase Serial number, 10 digits

Combination of letters and numbers in the Johnson Air Ease serial number.

DDMYYXX123 where DD = Production Day, M is the production month encoded as shown below, and YY = last two digits of production year but in reverse order - as we explain below.

Example serial no: 14G21UW345 where 14 = 14th day G = Month = July and 21 = Year in reverse order, so this year is 12 or 2012.

Johnson Air-Ease
Serial Number
Month Letter Decoder
Character in Position M
A = January B = February C = March
D = April E = May F = June
G = July H = August J = September
K = October L = November M = December

Two additional alphameric serial number formats are suggested for Johnson AirEase HVAC, though we have not found these as readily applicable to serial numbers provided by our readers.

 

Decode 10-Digit Fraser Johnson Air Ease Serial Number

Ten digit Fraser Johnson Air Ease serial number.

12YYM34567 where YY is a two digit numeric year, and M is a single alphabetic character that decodes to Month as given in the month-decoder table above

Example: 1200G34567 decodes YY = 00 = 2000, M decodes G = July

Decode 9-Digit Fraser Johnson Air Ease Serial Numbe

X12345MYZ where M is a single alphabetic character encoding the prodution Month and A is a single alphabetic OR numeric character encoding the year,

For M - Month, use the Month decoder table given above.

For Y - Year, use the older year-decoder table given below. Note that other manufacturers also use this or a similar year-encoding table and may extend the number of years covered by re-using characters each decade.

Older Johnson Air-Ease
Serial No. Year Decoder
Letter or number Year
8 1978
9 1979
A 1980
B 1981
C 1982
D 1983
E 1984
F 1985

Decide 6-Digit Johnson Corporation Furnace Serial Number

P173263 ??

Uncertain age decoding, possibly the year is in the last two digits, but the presence of the text Johnson Corporation may point to a date after 1966.

Johnson Heater Co. / Johnson Air Ease Furnace Age U& Serial Number Decoder? Parts?

On 2022-04-06 by Randy DeGraaf - Johnson Air Ease HAS80A Age - 6-digit serial number ?

Have a Johnson HAS80A Furnace, was wondering how old, serial # 093811, and if burners are even available anymore. Thanks
Randy

On 2022-04-06 by (mod) - help us guess heater age by giving more information

Often on all-numeric Johnson Furnace serial numbers, the year is encoded in the first two digits and the month next two but your serial number is so short that I'm doubtful that that would be correct.

It sure would help us make a sanity-check on a guess if you'd tell us the age of the building where this Johnson AirEase is installed and also tell us what information is on any service tags.

Can you post a photo of the unit's data tag and another of the whole unit front?

Is your building older than 1981?

Newer than 2011?

Please tell me the age of this Johnson Co. Heater.

I'm sorry but I'm not sure what to make of that number. It looks like a model number not a serial number. If the date of manufacture is not obvious on the data tag then off and it's and coded in the serial number.

Perhaps you could attach a photo of the boiler and in another comment a sharp photo of the data tag or tags if there are more than one.
