Documented but not evaluated by the decoder: no pattern (no date encoded, or format unknown).

Trap: No date in the serial (manufacturer-confirmed). 6-digit sequential serials seen.

Where the data plate is on a furnace

Inside the furnace: remove the upper (burner) access door and look on the inside of the door, on the blower compartment wall, or on a sticker facing you at the burner deck.

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 Furnace at 15 to 25 years of expected service (nachi.org). That chart is a guideline, not a prediction for your unit.

What we could not confirm

The era not stated format has no source we could check; it is shown for completeness only.
The era not stated format is documented but not decodable here: no pattern (no date encoded, or format unknown).
Manufacturer statement (quoted by building-center): 'Our serial numbers do not include date codes.' Date is printed on newer plates; otherwise contact Thermo Pride with model + serial via the contact form (thermopride.com/contact-us/, 200). Use the ANSI Z21.47 revision year on the plate as a floor. thermopride.com/warranty-registration/ = 200 (registration only).
