gtblum Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Heil serial # M 26079 Our chart says to look for a letter followed by nine numbers. 79 maybe? Check out the drip/dirt legs on the gas pipes. They really are legs. Click to Enlarge 45.01 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Jones Posted January 3, 2010 Report Share Posted January 3, 2010 Gary, Everything I am reading states that Heil is now International Comfort Products(ICP). If that is the case, the first digit is the month followed the the 2 digit year. Here is the number for ICP, 800-458-6650. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 That looks like a pretty old unit. ICP bought Heil in 1962. Before that, it was Heil-Quaker Company and I don't know how they interpreted those serial numbers. However, gas furnaces in general have an expected service life of only about 20-years from the date of installation. If that one is before ICP's time, it's at at least 250% of it's originally expected service life. I wouldn't have any problem telling those folks that the likelihood of holes and cracks in that old heat exchanger is high and they should start looking around for a safer and more efficient replacement. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtblum Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 Thanks again Mike. Terry, I was just kidding. Both of my legs are short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
