Now homeowners who want to own an air conditioner that offers high efficiency and reliable performance and help protect the environment at the same time have the perfect solution: Carriers new WeatherMaker 38TXA.
Earning the seal of approval
Consumers say they want an air conditioner that doesnt harm the environment yet still provides efficiency, easy serviceability and reliability, explains Rick DeMarco, Carriers vice president of residential marketing. By using R-410A refrigerant, we can now offer homeowners a high-performance cooling choice that is both environmentally sound and affordable.
Because R-410A (a chlorine-free refrigerant) complies with governmental legislation phasing out ozone-depleting refrigerants well ahead of the 2010 deadline, the 38TXA can eliminate homeowners concerns about having to replace their cooling systems.
The environmental benefits of R-410A have already earned the 38TXA one prestigious honor: the unit is the first residential air conditioner to be approved by Green Seal, a national, non-profit environmental labeling organization.
The high-performance choice
The WeatherMaker 38TXA is Carriers highest-efficiency single-speed residential air conditioner, with a SEER rating of 14.0. It is also one of the quietest and most compact available.
Our research indicates homeowners want high efficiency first and foremost in their cooling systems, DeMarco adds. They also want low sound levels. The new 38TXA provides both benefits.
The WeatherMaker 38TXAs high efficiency rating enables homeowners to reduce their cooling costs by between 40 and 60 percent. It also qualifies the unit for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys Energy Star residential program, which promotes the development and marketing of energy-efficient products that reduce energy consumption and pollution.
The sound level for the new unit is as low as 7.1 bels, putting it in a category with the quietest in-home appliances. Similar units on the market average a bel rating of 8.0 (nearly 10 times louder) or higher.
Worry-free operation
Dealer service and installation procedures for the new air conditioner are very similar to those for systems using current (R-22) refrigerants. The unit is backed by a 10-year limited warranty on the compressor and a one-year limited warranty on parts.
