So the “I” in the serial number above indicates the unit was manufactured in 2001. This serial number system is used for both the “AquaTherm' and 'U.S. A/C Products” equipment made by First Co., that circulate the hot water from a gas or oil-fired water heater to the air handler for heating a home. May 20, 2020 Early systems used style 1 (manual numbering system). Most later units will be style 2 (computer generated). Starting in 2000, the serial number for style 2 will begin with two digits, the first being a “0” (zero) prior to 2010, or “1” (one) prior to 2020, etc. See photo below for example of system manufacture in 2009.

GoodmanFirst two digits of the serial number are the year. Second two are the month.
Lennox Either the first two or second two digits are the year, it varies by era, but most of them actually have a separate sticker somewhere that has the year printed on it. Newer ones are first two equals manufacturing plant #, 2nd two are year and letter in fifth slot is month.
PeerlessPrior to 1984 there was not a date code included as part of the serial number. Starting in 1984, there was a four digit date code following the serial number that was month and year. Example - JO-12345-1084, this unit was built in October of 1984. Starting in the year 2000, same idea only it was a six digit date code following the serial number that is year and month. Example - 1234567-200105, this would have been build in May of 2001.
Anything without the addition to the serial number would have been made before 1984 and would require contact with the factory.
Rheem & Rudd WeatherkingSomewhere in the middle of the serial number will be a letter. The following four numbers are the week and year.
TRANEUses alpha codes in their serial numbers to determine year of manufacture. They started this in 1987 with the letter B and skipped a couple of letters during the years... The first letter of the serial number gives the year of manufacture as follows:

T=81(seventh digit) W=83 Y=85 B=87 D=89 F=91 H=93 K=95 M=97 P=1999 Z=2001

How can I tell the age of First Co. Aquatherm or U.S. A/C Products Combo Heater Air Handler from the serial number?
Thursday, January 24, 2019
The first letter of the serial number denotes the year of manufacture, based on the listing below. The serial number may be noted on two lines, as below, or one line.
A = 1994 B = 1995 C = 1996 D = 1997 E = 1997
F = 1998 G = 1999 H = 2000 J = 2001 K = 2002
L = 2003 M = 2004 N = 2005 P = 2006 R = 2007
S = 2008 T = 2009 U = 2010 V = 2011 W = 2012
X = 2013 Y = 2014 Z = 2015
(We assume that the cycle repeats, with A = 2016, etc.,
but not confirmed)
So the “I” in the serial number above indicates the unit was manufactured in 2001. This serial number system is used for both the “AquaTherm' and 'U.S. A/C Products” equipment made by First Co., that circulate the hot water from a gas or oil-fired water heater to the air handler for heating a home.
