James, I could not find that model number under GE. I found it under TRANE made in 1984 1985 and 1987. You didn’t say if the furnace was gas or electric and I searched in Preston Guide where you find GAS appliances only. the Heat Pump is coming up manufactured in 1981 and 1982. That is as near as I could find. ---

General Electric Capacity: Last three digits of model number indicate approximate rating in 1000s of Btus Example: 21TC030A = 2.5 ton Age: Last three digits of serial number indicate date of manufacture, where the first digit indicates the year and the second and third indicate the week Example: xxxxxx241 = 41st week of 1982 This all i could find hope it helps ---

Daniel look in your Preston Guide; you Carrier Blue Book; or your ??? If you don’t have one - buy one. Also a little research will probably tell you GE quit making under their name and switched to Trane between 1981-1984. So you immediately know your unit is Approx 25-30 Yrs old ---
