🔤 Keeprite Serial Number Format

Keeprite is a Canadian ICP/Johnson Controls brand using the York serial format. The first character is a decade letter (H=1990s, J=2000s, K=2010s, L=2020s), the second is the year digit (0–9), and characters 3–4 are the two-digit manufacturing month (01–12). Example: "K6041234567" = K (2010s) + 6 = 2016, month 04 = April 2016.

J9011234567

J = 2000s, 9 = 2009, 01 = January. Manufactured January 2009.

K6041234567

L0091234567

L = 2020s, 0 = 2020, 09 = September. Manufactured September 2020.

How Keeprite Serial Numbers Work

Keeprite is manufactured by International Comfort Products (ICP), a Johnson Controls company, and is primarily sold in Canada. It uses the same serial number format as other ICP brands — Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire — and Johnson Controls brands like York, Luxaire, and Coleman. The format is consistent: the opening letter identifies the decade (H=1990s, J=2000s, K=2010s, L=2020s), the second character is a year digit (0–9), and the third and fourth characters encode the month (01–12). This makes it easy to date Keeprite equipment at a glance once you know the system. Keeprite equipment is built to Canadian standards and must meet CSA certification requirements. The manufacturing dates encoded in the serial align with the same ICP production data used across North American markets.

Why Decode Your Keeprite Serial Number?

Serial number decoding is important for Keeprite owners in Canada who need to file warranty claims, verify equipment age when buying or selling a home, or assess whether a unit predates modern refrigerant standards. Canadian HVAC technicians routinely decode Keeprite serials to determine R-22 vs. R-410A compatibility and estimate remaining equipment life.

💡 Pro Tips

Keeprite shares serial decoding with York, Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, Champion, Luxaire, and Coleman — all Johnson Controls / ICP brands. If you're in Canada and have a Keeprite unit, this decoder provides the same accurate results. The decade letter is the key: "K" for 2010s, "L" for 2020s.
