Listed under Westinghouse generators in the source; Westinghouse Generators is named in that format's family and the corporate link is an estimate, not a checked fact.
Where the data plate is on a generator
Standby units: a plate inside the enclosure or on the frame near the controller. Portables: a sticker on the frame or engine housing.
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 Residential Propane Backup Generators at 12 years of expected service (nachi.org). That chart is a guideline, not a prediction for your unit.
No online serial lookup was found for Westinghouse Generators in our research. The manufacturer's customer service line, the installer's invoice, or a printed date on the plate are the remaining authorities.
