What is a Bard wall-mount air conditioner?

A Bard wall-mount air conditioner is a Single Packaged Vertical Unit (SPVU) manufactured by Bard Manufacturing Company of Bryan, Ohio. The entire refrigeration system — compressor, coils, fans, and controls — is assembled into one self-contained cabinet that bolts to the outside wall of a structure. Because everything is in one piece, Bard units are the industry standard for applications where traditional split systems would be impractical: telecom shelters, job-site trailers, portable classrooms, equipment shelters, modular buildings, and remote industrial enclosures.

How to find your model and serial number

Every Bard wall-mount unit ships with a silver or yellow data plate on the side of the cabinet, usually right next to the electrical disconnect. The plate lists the full model number (usually starting with "W"), the serial number, the voltage, refrigerant type, and factory build date.

If the outside data plate is faded, painted over, or unreadable, there is a backup sticker inside the unit's electrical control panel. It is protected from weather and sunlight, so it typically stays clean and legible for decades. Open the control-panel door and look for the duplicate sticker with the same model and serial information.

A typical Bard model number looks like W36AF-A05 or W60A1-A05XWXXXJ. The leading digits encode the series and tonnage (W36 = 3.0 ton, W60 = 5.0 ton). The middle characters encode voltage and heat type. The trailing block encodes feature options — coil coating, economizer, motor type, and so on. You do not need to memorize any of this; paste the whole string into the lookup and we will show you the right parts.

How to read a Bard serial number

Bard serial numbers from 1980 through 2025 follow a consistent format: ###@########-## (where # is a number and @ is a letter). Example: 158H092626573-01.

Here is what each section tells you:

• First 3 digits (158) — the compressor number. All Bard compressor numbers begin with 8000- and are finished with these three digits, so the compressor in the example above is 8000-158.
• 4th character (H) — a letter identifying the production month. Technicians who are familiar with Bard serial numbers often skip straight to this letter because the first three digits are not always needed for identification. The month code table:
  • A = January
  • B = February
  • C = March
  • D = April
  • F = May
  • H = June
  • J = July
  • K = August
  • L = September
  • M = October
  • N = November
  • P = December
• 5th and 6th characters (09) — the year of production. In the example, 09 means 2009. The month-and-year pair (H09 in this case) is usually the most useful information you can pull from a Bard serial number.
• Final two digits after the dash (-01 or -02) — the plant where the unit was manufactured. -01 = Bryan, Ohio. -02 = Madison, Georgia.

New 2025+ Bard serial-number format

In 2025 Bard changed how serial information is printed on the data plate. Instead of one long string, Bard now lists three separate fields:

• Model / Model: for example, W24AF-B00XXXXXJ
• Serial / De Serie: for example, 10001380
• Mfg Code / Codigo Mfg: for example, C25/-/-487

The new format essentially deconstructs the old serial number across three fields. To reassemble it in the legacy format, combine the parts in this order — Mfg Code block first, then Serial block. The example above (Mfg Code: C25/-/-487 plus Serial: 10001380) rebuilds to 487C2510001380.

What parts the lookup covers

Every serviceable component in a Bard wall-mount unit is in the database, cross-referenced to current factory-spec part numbers (including any supersessions) along with live pricing and stock:

• Compressors — scroll and reciprocating, every tonnage and voltage
• Condenser and evaporator fan motors — OEM and equivalents
• Blower wheels, fan blades, motor mounts, and bearings
• Control boards, defrost boards, and thermostat modules
• Run and start capacitors (5 µF through 70+ µF)
• Contactors, relays, transformers, and fuses
• TXVs, filter driers, and refrigerant accessories
• Coils and coil guards — including coastal-grade coated coils
• Heat strips, sequencers, and limit switches
• Air filters, drain pans, service doors, and cabinet hardware

The database covers 10,000+ parts across every Bard wall-mount model ever made, and is updated continuously as Bard issues running-change and supersession bulletins.

The only Bard parts lookup on the internet

This is the only online parts-lookup tool for Bard wall-mount air conditioners, and Super Cool Company is the only online resource where you can access comprehensive documentation for every Bard model ever made. We have been building and refining this system since 2013, cross-referencing Bard factory service manuals, parts bulletins, and running-change notices across every wall-mount generation from the earliest legacy units through current production.

If the lookup returns a part that Bard has superseded, we show the current factory-authorized replacement alongside the original — form, fit, and function identical per Bard Engineering. When Bard issues a running change, the lookup is updated within the same week. Whether you are working on a unit from the 1990s, the 2000s, or last year's build, this is where the manuals, wiring diagrams, and factory-authorized replacement chain live.

International orders and customs information

Bard itself does not ship internationally. For customers outside the United States, we receive parts at our Virginia facility first and then re-ship to you. That means two shipping charges (domestic inbound plus international outbound) and slightly longer overall lead times — but we have built the process to work smoothly for international customers who need genuine Bard parts.

Every individual part page at bardwallmount.com/parts/[PART-NUMBER] lists the specific HS code, weight, and dimensions for that item. For complete units we can supply full datasheets, specifications, and installation manuals. Country of origin: Bard units are engineered and assembled in the USA using a mix of domestic and internationally sourced components; we can provide origin details on specific parts on request.

A quick note on Bard part-number prefixes and suffixes

Bard uses internal prefixes and suffixes to manage inventory, and they sometimes look like the wrong part when they arrive:

• A part number starting with S is one of Bard's common service parts (same item, different internal tracking).
• A part number ending in BX simply indicates the part ships in a box — no functional difference.
• If a part has been superseded, the new part number will appear in place of the old one; per Bard Engineering, form-fit-function is identical.

Our lookup handles all of this automatically so you order the correct thing on the first try.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I find the model number on my Bard unit?

On the silver or yellow data plate on the side of the unit, usually near the electrical disconnect. It starts with "W" (for example, W36AF-A05).

Where is the serial number located?

Same data plate as the model number. If the outside plate is faded or unreadable, check inside the electrical control panel for a backup sticker.

My data tag is faded. How do I figure out what unit I have?

Open the unit's electrical control panel — Bard installs a backup sticker inside, protected from weather and sunlight. That backup sticker is almost always still legible and carries the same model and serial information as the outside plate.

There are several model numbers on my data tag. Which one is mine?

Bard prints several possible configurations on each tag and marks your specific model with an X next to it. Whichever line has the X is your actual unit.

My data tag says my unit does not have a heater, but it does. Why?

Field-installed heaters are common — a supplier or the customer often adds one after the unit ships from the factory. The original data tag still reflects the no-heat factory configuration. The heater is real; it just was not installed at the factory.

What does a Bard model number actually mean?

Each position encodes something: series, tonnage, voltage, heat type, coil coating, motor type. Our lookup decodes every position automatically.

How do I read a Bard serial number?

See the detailed serial-number breakdown above — format, month-letter codes, year position, and the new 2025+ three-field format are all covered there.

Can I look up obsolete or discontinued Bard parts?

Yes. If a part has been superseded, we show the current factory-authorized replacement per Bard Engineering — form, fit, and function identical. If a part is fully discontinued with no replacement, we tell you plainly.

Why is the part number on my quote different from what I requested?

Bard uses internal prefixes like S (service parts) and suffixes like BX (boxed) for inventory tracking. Same physical part, different label.

How long will it take to receive my parts?

Typically 2–4 weeks from order placement. Factory lead times vary, so we underpromise on timing and deliver ahead of estimate when we can.

Are these genuine Bard OEM parts?

Yes. Every part is brand new, OEM, sourced directly from Bard Manufacturing. No aftermarket substitutes.

Are you an authorized Bard distributor?

We are a specialized reseller. Operating outside the authorized distribution network is what lets us serve customers nationwide and internationally without territorial restrictions.

Why should I buy from Super Cool Company?

Speed and tools. We quote in minutes. We run the only parts-lookup tool on the internet. When a unit is down, fast answers are what matter — and that is what we are built for.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes, with two-leg shipping (Bard → our Virginia facility → you). See the international section above for the full workflow.

Do you sell Bard air filters?

Yes. If you need the Bard OEM part number on a filter for compliance or warranty reasons, we are happy to quote it. For standard maintenance filters, a local supply house or online shipper is usually faster.

Where can I find parts manuals and wiring diagrams for my Bard unit?

We have a dedicated page for every Bard model at bardwallmount.com/legacy/[first-9-characters-of-model-number]. Super Cool Company is the only online source for this comprehensive Bard legacy documentation.

Can you get Bard Tech Support directly?

For complex troubleshooting we often recommend calling Bard directly: (419) 636-0439, Monday–Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET. Our team can answer most questions, but Bard Tech Support is the ultimate authority on factory troubleshooting.

Need a part the lookup didn't find?

If the lookup returns nothing for your unit, the data plate is illegible, or you need a part that is not listed, call (844) WALLMOUNT — (844) 925-5668, Monday–Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM ET. You can also send us your model and serial number and we will reply with parts availability and pricing. If it is time for a full replacement, browse current Bard wall-mount units — we can usually quote a new unit the same day.
