ABOUT THE SITE

About HVAC Judge

Use HVAC Judge to check equipment age, estimate capacity and costs, and prepare questions for a manufacturer or contractor.

What you can do here

HVAC Judge began as an independent HVAC reference site in 2020. Look up supported serial-number patterns, estimate equipment age, compare planning costs and explore equipment guides. Each tool explains its inputs and limitations alongside its result.

What you cannot do here

We are not an equipment manufacturer, an official brand support channel or your HVAC contractor. A calculator result is not a diagnosis, a load calculation, a warranty determination or a quote. Serial-number formats can change by factory and production period, so verify important decisions with the manufacturer or a qualified professional.

How we work

Lookups show the supported serial format and calculators explain their assumptions. If a serial format cannot be identified, verify its date with the manufacturer.
