Carrier Comfort Series Central Air Conditioner Review
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.
