Carrier Air Conditioners

Air-conditioning is one of a handful of technologies that has utterly transformed the way we live. Throughout history people have tried to stay cool during hot months of the year. From ancient Persians using systems and wind towers to Chinese during the Han Dynasty using rotary fans and Egyptians using ventilators as well as Mad King Ludwig using air cooled by water from mountain runoff. In 1902 Willis Carrier invented the first modern air-conditioning system powered by electricity. Developed to control temperature and humidity in manufacturing plants primarily in the printing industry, this innovation has become a must-have for most businesses and homes in the US and in many countries around the world.

Today

Carrier air conditioners

are found worldwide in applications from heavy industrial to home and automotive systems. Having owned several Carrier air conditioners I can personally vouch for their reliability and performance. Our most recent acquisition in the carrier line is a Carrier hybrid heating system which combines an air conditioner/heat pump and a high efficiency gas furnace.We have had this system in place now for three years and could not be happier. It has substantially lowered our heating and cooling bills and has operated flawlessly.

The Carrier hybrid heat system, in conjunction with the infinity control set allow flexibility not available to the typical HVAC system. During times of moderately cool weather that heat pump functionality of the carrier air conditioner allows heating of your house by electricity only. With today’s heat pumps this can be much more economical than even a high efficiency gas furnace. This works by reversing the normal air-conditioner functioning and extracting heat from the outside air to heat the house. As temperatures drop this becomes less efficient and at a certain temperature the system will switchover to the gas furnace. This gives great flexibility in how your home is heated and can provide substantial savings over using a gas furnace or electric resistance furnace.

Another advantage I discovered after putting the system in was the ability to buy electricity from our utility at demand prices. Since electricity prices fluctuate during the day and are normally very low at night when much of our heating demand occurs in the spring and the fall it has further reduced our overall utility costs.

For anyone considering installing a new HVAC system I highly recommend Carrier air conditioners and heating systems.
