What we could not confirm
- Broan HVAC is treated as sharing Nordyne's format because the source lists it in that family; the corporate relationship itself is an estimate.
- Styles: root style 1 (GT3050153269 - note the digit in the 3-char prefix) and G#R YYMM-#####. broan-nutone.com (200) is the ventilation-products site, not an HVAC serial lookup; Broan-branded furnaces/ACs were Nordyne-built.
