What You Can Expect From Carrier

Innovation, efficiency, quality: Carrier ® Comfort™ Series packaged air conditioners and packaged gas furnace/air conditioners represent years of research and design with one goal in mind – making your family comfortable. With durable, lasting comfort and the option to choose air conditioning only or gas heating and air conditioning from one package, Comfort Series packaged products represent the Carrier quality, environmental stewardship and lasting durability that have endured for more than a century. And, with multi-speed blowers, these models can provide enhanced summer dehumidification when managed by select thermostats.

Efficiency

SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) and AFUE (Annual

Fuel Utilization Efficiency) ratings are like your car’s MPG – the higher the number, the greater the potential for savings. Comfort™ Series packaged air conditioners and packaged gas furnace/air conditioners offer 14.0 SEER/12.0 EER cooling. The packaged gas furnace/air conditioner also reaches 81% AFUE heating.

Durability

A galvanized steel cabinet and heavy-duty wire coil guard provide superior protection against dings, dents and other outdoor threats. Our unique cabinet design puts the condensing coil above ground level and further out of harm’s way. The bottom half of the cabinet is fully sealed to help keep moisture, leaves, dirt and other potential corrosives out.

Environment

Carrier was the first to offer systems with Puron ® refrigerant, which does not contribute to ozone depletion. By replacing an older, less efficient packaged product with a

Comfort™ Series packaged air conditioner or packaged gas furnace/air conditioner, you are reducing energy use and your environmental impact.

Sound

Carrier ® Comfort™ Series packaged products deliver quiet, indoor comfort. With sound levels as low as 73 decibels, you can enjoy the comfort with very little background noise. All models include components that help keep sound levels quiet, including an aerodynamic top and quiet motor mounts.

Limited Warranty

To the original owner, Carrier ® Comfort™ Series packaged air conditioners and packaged gas furnace/air conditioners are covered by a 10-year parts limited warranty upon timely registration. The limited warranty period is five years if not registered within 90 days of installation. Jurisdictions where warranty benefits cannot be conditioned on registration will receive the registered limited warranty period. See warranty certificate at carrier.com for complete details and restrictions.

The Carrier® Difference

If you could look under the hood of a Carrier Comfort™

Series packaged air conditioner or packaged gas furnace/air conditioner, you’d see what drives the performance: a serious commitment to quality. Our microtube condensing coil saves space and provides lasting comfort with its corrosion-resistant construction.

The smooth-running compressor helps deliver solid, reliable cooling performance. For gas heating operation in packaged gas furnace/air conditioners, our TurboTubular™ heat exchanger allows hot gases to make multiple passes across the supply air, optimizing heat transfer and system efficiency.

All of this technology is built upon a high-tech composite, rust-proof base that provides a solid foundation for comfort and includes an integrated, sloped drain pan for enhanced drainage to help inhibit mold, algae and bacterial growth. Comfort Series packaged products are built to look their best while enduring exposure to hail, errant soccer balls, lawn equipment and more.
