Upload a photo of the metal data plate on your outdoor unit (condenser or heat pump). We'll read the serial, decode the manufacture year, identify the refrigerant, and tell you whether you're looking at “still plenty of life” or “time to plan”. No email, no phone, no account — the result is a shareable link.
We handle Carrier, Bryant, Trane, American Standard, Goodman, and Amana automatically. Other brands fall back to a manual-entry or human-email path — we will never guess a year.
The data plate is the metal rectangle on the side of your outdoor condenser or heat pump. Shoot it straight-on, in good light, close enough that the model and serial numbers are sharp.

Why this matters for a $12K–$30K replacement decision
- Refrigerant type. R-22 systems (pre-2010) can't be factory-recharged anymore — a leak turns into a replacement. R-410A (2010–2024) is still serviceable but is being phased down. R-454B (2025+) is the current EPA-compliant refrigerant.
- Age vs service life. In Florida heat and humidity, residential HVAC averages 12–15 years. If yours is older, planning a replacement now beats the emergency July replacement (which runs 10–20% higher in cost and weeks slower in scheduling).
- Recall lookups.If your model is on an active recall or class-action list, we link you straight to the primary source so you can claim whatever relief you're owed.
