Carrier Comfort Series Central Air Conditioner Review

Leave a comment

The Carrier Comfort Series are a quality line of durable, reliable HVAC central air conditioning systems. Carrier Comfort is meant to be the definitive word in economical air conditioning. The Comfort series, which represents models 24ABB3 and 24ABC6, is the base system upon which all other Carrier models are built. This means that they are extremely versatile and well engineered.

The Comfort series air conditioners reviewed here have a SEER of 16.5 and an EER as high as 13.5. This means that they, like almost all Carrier air conditioners, are eligible for the Energy Star program and all attendant tax breaks. (Read our Infinity Central Air Conditioner Review) The 24ABC6 may qualify for a stimulus tax credit as well. All Carrier comfort air conditioner models come with a summer dehumidification system and a one-stage scroll compressor. The advanced design means that the sound level can be as low as 72dbs, or quieter than a dishwasher when at full power.

Carrier has a reputation for hassle-free equipment, and the Comfort series lives up to their name. They provide crisp, clean air in any situation, and they are priced to fit neatly into any budget. They are backed by a ten-year warranty and have optional labor warranties available as well. The excellent energy efficiency of this, and all Carrier products, make this series very easy on operating costs and the environment. Energy Star certification not only saves the customer money, but means that the manufacture of the equipment will not hurt the quality of life of the purchaser. Carrier air conditioners also use ozone-friendly Puron® refrigerant. Though the Comfort series lacks the many features found in the Carrier Infinity AC Units, the reasonable cost and low noise levels more than make up for it. This is a perfectly suitable system for home or office central air conditioning. It can be installed on the ground or on top of the building, depending on local building regulations.

The Carrier name is synonymous with HVAC, all the way back to when the company’s founder Willis Carrier invented modern air conditioning in 1902. The company has grown to more than forty thousand employees and 12.5 billion dollars in business. They are now a wholly owned subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation.

Carrier Infinity Central Air Conditioner System Review

Leave a comment

The Carrier Infinity Central Air Conditioner System has been designed to incorporate every top-of-the-line feature available to modern HVAC technology into one incomparable package. The models from this series, the 24ANA1 and 24ANB1, are as efficient as any central air conditioning system can be.If you’re looking for a heat pump system instead of an AC, read our Carrier Infinity Heat Pump Review for more info.

Carrier Infinity systems have a SEER rating as high as 21 for the absolute minimum electrical burden, which is much more than the EnergyStar system requires. They boast similarly efficient acoustical design. Our Carrier Infinity AC review discovered the Silencer System II design and compressor sound blanket in use to combine for a sound level as low as 65 dBs. The humidity and temperature control are well balanced and precise, with enhanced summer dehumidification when used with a Infinity thermostat, and super clean air when matched to an Infinity Air Cleaner (read our review). This system uses two-stage operation to ensure maximum efficiency and minimum noise for any temperature situation.

With a 21 SEER rating and a 15 EER there is no question that this series qualifies for the federal EnergyStar program and all the tax credits and rebates that come with it. The commitment to the environment does not stop there, as the Infinity Series uses the more eco-friendly refrigerant Puron. The Infinity® Control thermostat is standard with this series. This fully-programmable onboard diagnostic system can run the air conditioner like nothing ever seen before, giving you the finest possible control over your environment and your energy expenditure. The Infinity series has been engineered to last, and the ten year warranty reflects that. With the integral WeatherArmor protection most units will not even require that level of protection. The Carrier Infinity Series compares favorably with almost any other air conditioning system made by Carrier. This series was made with a concentrated effort to combine everything a customer could want with phenomenal efficiency to make the best system possible without budgetary considerations. It succeeds on every level.

The Carrier Corporation was founded by Willis Carrier, the man who invented air conditioning. In the century since then his company has grown to more than forty thousand employees across six continents, and they now lead the world in commercial refrigeration. The Carrier Corporation is a wholly owned subsidiary of the United Technologies Corporation.

Trane XL16i Air Conditioner Review

2 comments

The Trane XL16i central air conditioner offers a great bargain with quiet, efficient two-stage cooling. It maintains the industry’s highest efficiency, with a SEER rating that approaches 18. This more than qualifies it for an Energy Star Seal, and it is therefore eligible for rebates, grants and income tax credits.

In this air conditioner review, we’ll take a look at one of the greatest air conditioners to cool your home, with a Trane XL16i review.

Just like the heat pump we covered in the Trane XL14i heat pump review last week, the XL16i comes in four different sizes, from 2.5 tons to 5 tons, each perfect for a different type of building. The patented two-stage Climatuff® compressors and variable-speed fan motor contribute to an extraordinarily quiet and efficient design, because the two-stage cooling essentially gives you two air conditioners in one. One quiet compressor runs for most purposes, and a heavy-duty compressor kicks in when it gets really hot. The two stage compressor really kicks in high marks on this Trane xl16i air conditioner review.

[adsenseone]The XL16i is one of the highest rated in its class, and has options unavailable even in other Trane units. For example, unlike the others, this unit uses a charge assist feature to help the technician know if the unit operates at or near factory temperatures. The XL16i can also interface with the indoor unit and take control of the indoor fan motor. Advanced model units have multi-stage systems, but the two-stage system of the XL16i is more than sufficient for most climates, and nearly as efficient. Not only does the high energy efficiency qualify for rebates in the Energy Star program, and local rebates as well, but Trane itself offers rebates. This can make the unit extremely affordable. Of course the unit comes with the industry-leading 10-year limited warranty for both compressors, the Spine Fin™ outdoor coil, and all moving parts.

If you want reliability you cannot do better than Trane. They are an undisputed industry leader in heating and cooling technology. Though the corporation began in Wisconsin a century ago, it has grown to be a global player, and has now joined the Ingersoll Rand family. They have won countless awards and maintain HVAC systems in an array of prestigious buildings, from the Statue of Liberty to the Washington Monument, the Kremlin to the Australian Stock Exchange. Trane sells more than $8 billion worth of HVAC supplies a year.

Carrier Infinity Electronic Air Cleaner Review

Leave a comment

The state-of-the-art Carrier infinity air purifier and cleaner, cleans our air with quiet ease. Carrier’s Infinity Electronic Air Cleaner is a top of the line air purifier that uses three-stage electronic and media air filtration systems with a MERV 15 efficiency rating. This means it can stop particles as tiny as .3 microns.

Though it is intended for the home or office use, it is more than sufficient for small environments like professional medical offices and much more. This filter comes with a 10-year parts limited warranty after registration, and is a part of the complete Carrier Infinity System, including the Infinity heat pump review we show on our site.

[adsenseone] The Infinity Electronic Air Cleaner does not just filter air, but traps and eradicates contaminants. The filter is strong enough that even airborne disease agents like mold, bacteria, and viruses are caught and destroyed. This system purifies all the air in the house as often as eight times an hour. This can be a lifesaver for asthmatics and other people with allergies, whether they are sensitive to internal irritants like cat dander and mold, or external allergens like ragweed, pollen, or smoke. Recent forest fires throughout the western states, and of course the Arizona dust storms that keep occurring, have made good indoor air filtration an absolute must for people with sensitive systems.

Infinity Air Cleaner Filter Changes in a Snap!

One of the best features of the Infinity is the easy filter change procedure. However, understanding the air flow and circulation of an indoor space is not always easy. Pollutants can concentrate more highly inside than outside, so it is essential that a system be installed properly in order to filter the entire indoor air space.

The Infinity has a rated airflow of more than 1600 cubic feet per minute. With a system exchanging that much volume, in an area this sensitive, the guidance of a professional can be very useful. The Carrier Infinity Electronic Air Cleaner is an excellent and economic choice for any domestic or professional use. If it is installed properly, it will provide years of clean breathing.
