Day & Night date-code evidence

If you need to estimate a Day & Night unit’s manufacture age, identify the ICP family on the label before decoding.

Use the Day & Night regional ICP context

A plant letter is followed by a two-digit year and two-digit production week (LYYWW). The verified Day & Night family uses a plant letter followed by year and production week (LYYWW). It is a shared ICP convention, not a general rule for every Day & Night-era product. Day & Night is represented by a plant letter followed by year and production week in the verified ICP family. Its regional label context is part of the evidence, so do not detach the serial from the full rating plate.

Worked example: E142320733

E142320733 — The verified decoder reads this fixture as Week 23 of 2014. The date is a manufacture estimate, not an installation date.

When Day & Night support needs the complete plate

A registration or warranty question requires more than the common date prefix. Record model, serial, equipment type, and readable brand information, then use the official ICP support route.

Model number vs. serial number

The Day & Night model identifies product context and the serial supplies date evidence; both identifiers should travel together. Capture the full plate and keep model, serial, equipment type, and market information together for the manufacturer support step.

Limits and official support

ICP labels can vary by era, market, and product line. If the result affects warranty, registration, parts, safety, or replacement decisions, use the complete model and serial with the manufacturer or a qualified professional. SerialAtlas is an independent reference, not an official warranty lookup or warranty coverage decision.

Equipment covered

  • air conditioners
  • heat pumps
  • furnaces
  • air handlers
  • packaged systems

Commercial, imported, very old, specialty, and private-label equipment can use a different code. Confirm the full rating plate before accepting a result.

Where to find the rating plate

  • Outdoor condenser or heat-pump cabinet, usually near the service valves
  • Inside the furnace or air-handler access panel
  • On the packaged-unit rating plate
  • Near the electrical disconnect or wiring diagram

Why more than one date can appear

Two-digit years and repeating letter cycles can point to more than one era. SerialAtlas ranks the plausible dates but keeps materially different alternatives visible. Label design, refrigerant, installation records, and product literature can resolve the era.

What this result does not prove

A manufacture date is not an installation date, warranty decision, recall match, condition assessment, or replacement recommendation. Confirm high-stakes decisions with the manufacturer or a qualified professional.
