How old is my Day & Night heat pump?
Serial number age decoder for Day & Night heat pumps: 1 format era, the decode rule in plain English, transcribed tables, and the official lookup.
Type the serial from the data plate, not the model number. Nothing is sent anywhere; the tables are in this page.
Format example: 4006A17330
- Day & Night heat pump serial numbers in the 1980 to present format encode the year as digits 3-4 (2-digit year; century by context, 1980+) and the week as digits 1-2 (01-53) (source: building-center.org).
- Example: serial 4006A17330 decodes to week 40 of 2006.
- Day & Night's official lookup at dayandnightcomfort.com returns warranty / registration lookup.

Where the data plate is on a heat pump
On the outdoor unit, same place as a condenser: a plate on the side or back of the cabinet near the line set. The indoor air handler carries its own plate with its own serial.
General guidance, not brand-specific: the owner's manual or the installer can point to the exact spot. See the data plate guide.
For scale only: the InterNACHI Standard Estimated Life Expectancy Chart for Homes lists Heat Pump at 10 to 15 years of expected service (nachi.org). That chart is a guideline, not a prediction for your unit.
