About The Carrier PuronŽ
System
 is the refrigerant of the future, and Carrier is prepared to help
homeowners like you enjoy improved comfort right now with a full line of
products utilizing this performance-enhancing refrigerant. You may not realize
it, but your existing indoor weather system is an endangered species. That's the
result of the 1990 Clean Air Act and the internationally binding Montreal
Protocol. These
documents call for an international phase out on future manufacturing of the
refrigerant R-22, which is currently used in most air conditioning and heat pump
systems. In response to this phase out, Carrier has been hard at work assisting
in the development of a replacement refrigerant. Extensive testing and a full
two years of use in the market place have helped us determine that Puron is
superior in performance and energy efficiency in addition to being
environmentally sound. These outstanding results have made Puron refrigerant the
universally accepted, long-term refrigerant for the heating and cooling
industry.
About Efficiency...
Terms like SEER, AFUE and HSPF are commonly
used to describe efficiency ratings in the indoor weather industry. Offering
indoor weather equipment that ranges from the minimum industry requirements to
the world's most totally energy efficient, your indoor weather expert can help
you choose the indoor weather equipment that's right for you.
 AFUE-
(Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) is the standard measurement of efficiency
for gas and oil-fired furnaces. Given in percentages, this number tells you how
much of your fuel is used to heat your home and how much fuel is simply wasted.
The higher the AFUE rating, the greater the efficiency. Carrier offers a full
line of furnaces with AFUE ratings ranging from the minimum industry requirement
of 78% to more than 96%.
SEER- (Seasonal
Energy Efficiency Ratio) is the measure of efficiency by which the cooling
process of air conditioners and heat pumps is rated. The higher the SEER number,
the greater the efficiency, which translates into greater energy savings. Today,
U.S. regulatory agencies require all new models to have a 10.0 SEER rating or
better. Carrier's full line of air conditioners offers SEER ratings of 10.0 to
16.1.
HSPF- (Heating
Seasonal Performance Factor) is the efficiency measurement used to gauge the
efficiency of the heating mode of heat pumps. Again, the higher the number, the
greater the efficiency. Today's models are required to have a 6.8 HSPF. Carrier
offers heat pumps with HSPF ratings ranging from 6.8 to 9.4.
Bels- Bels-the
rating system by which sound is measured. The bels scale is a logarithmic scale
like the Richter scale...even a small difference in rating can mean a
significant difference in actual sound. The higher the number, the greater the
noise level. A diesel truck 10 feet away is rated at 9.2 bels. The sound of a
refrigerator running is rated at 7.0 bels. Check out Carrier against the
competition. You and your neighbors will be happy to hear the Carrier sound
difference.
