The easiest way to find out the age of your boiler is to look for its serial number. A serial number is a long sequence of numbers & letters that are unique for that boiler - the number can be found in a few different places such as a drop-down front panel, the side or underneath the boiler.

Similarly, how can I find out the age of my boiler?

You can find out how old your boiler is by visiting the official industry database. Fill in details of your boiler and the dates when manufacture of that model began and ended will be displayed. You can search for all brands and models of boilers in this database. Or you can look at your boiler's serial number.

Furthermore, how old is my Alpha boiler? Standard Alpha WarrantyTheir Combi boilers come with between 2-7 years warranty, 3-5 years as standard for System boilers and 3 years on their range of Regular boilers.

Considering this, how old is my boiler Worcester?

No matter how old a Worcester Bosch boiler is, its serial number will contain an FD number that has the production date coded in but that's what it is – coded. So, if you need to tell the age of your WB, you'd need to contact their support team or phone in on 0330 123 3366.

How old is my Burnham boiler?

Description: The model number, serial number and manufacturing date are located on a silver label on the inside panel.

Erin
So if the boiler is the original one we can figure it's the same age as the house.
Can you post photos of the boiler and of the data tag? (One photo per comment)

Hi Dan, appreciate the response and advice, so there is a compressor thats generic, i had and AC co look at it and said they cant get the part so i have to replace entire unit for over 10 K.

So your response leads me just to replace the compressor and then start looking for a more reliable AC co and options down the road

On 2020-04-11 - by (mod) -

Douglas, there are generic replacement compressor motors that will work as long as the performance meets the original spec.
I would have a different answer (replace just the compressor motor) if your cooling system were 10 years old or newer.
But on a 30 year old condenser/compressor unit, there are several reasons to consider replacing the unit entirely:
- it is probably using an obsolete refrigerant no longer permitted
- other components may be at or near end of life
- the cost of replacing just the compressor motor may be close to the cost to replace the entire condenser unit

I have a Burnham AC unit for the past 30 years, need a new compressor, B870WHEB 3.8 A, the model is
B120WHEB,B870WHEBx2/b300c. Any idea where is can find a compressor ??

Question: determine the age of a Burnham gas hot water furnace

How do I find out the age of an 80,000 BTU Burnham gas hot water
furnace with Model No. P-204A-WNU - Kern 10/10/12

Reply:

Kern we'd need the serail number not the model number to determine equipment age. In general, just to get our terminology right, usually we call hot water heating equipment a boiler and we reserve the name furnace for warm air heating systems. I know there was an exception but that's generally the case.

A typical Burhham boiler data tag will show numbers like

Burnham Boiler Parts Lookup

Model RS-112 Ser- 35044173

or Serial No. 35 048911

or Serial# 01005880

It's that serial number you want.

I am researching the first serial number decode. For the second example, after the 35 (probably model number) the next two digits 04 are month and the nect two digits 89 the year of manufacture of the unit. In the third example we're stuck again - when you've found the serial number, I'd give the company a call, give model and serial number, and just ask them. Let us know what you learn as it will assist other readers.

You can contact Burnham Corporation in Lancaster PA at their customer service number 717-481-8400 or at 888-432-8887

Please attach a photo of the data tag for your Burnham boiler and I can comment further.
