Carrier has long been the world leader of air conditioners, and until today, their name still remains as one of the most popular brands of air conditioners in the world. For the home and for individual rooms, wall air conditioners are ideal. And from Carrier, there are several models available for you to choose from. Here are the various types of Carrier wall air conditioners and their features.
High-Wall Duct-Free Split Systems
High-wall units are those which are wall-mounted and are hung at an elevation near the ceiling. These devices are located near the ceiling to allow optimal air flow and distribute cool air evenly throughout the entire room. They are stylish in appearance, simple, elegant, and space-saving because they don’t conflict with any other items in the home when it comes to spacing and positioning.
Under this category, there are three product lines that offer different models of high-wall mount air conditioners: the RAS Digital Inverter Series, the Performance Series XPower, and the Comfort Series.
The RAS Digital Inverter Series offers devices which are all Energy Star compliant. The high efficiency inverter allows the units to conserve energy and recycle moisture in the system. The models under this line have a SEER rating up to 23, one of the highest numbers in the industry. Units are able to both cool and heat for year-round functionality. Wireless remote operation is standard in all models and indoor units all have 5 fan speeds for the best temperature control. The units also have a dehumidification mode for reducing moisture in the air. The models have automatic air sweep functions and sleep modes. They also have a 24-hour timer for easy scheduling of operation.
The Performance Series XPower has a much lower SEER rating of 16, but the units also have inverter technology. The devices also have wireless remote controls for easy operation. They also have user selectable fan speeds from auto, low, medium, and high. Units also have dehumidification mode, sleep mode, and 24-hour timers. They have auto restart functions for power outages and cleanable filters for healthy and clean air circulation.
The Comfort Series features the lowest SEER rating of 13. Models also have remote controls, selectable fan speeds, dehumidification mode, sleep mode, and auto swing. The indoor unit is powered from the outdoor unit, though, so you need to activate the outdoor unit first.
Multi-Split Duct-Free Split Systems
These units are hardly different from the single systems at all. In fact, their indoor units are almost the same. The only major difference between them is that multi-split systems have outdoor units which have the capacity to operate more than one indoor unit at a time. There’s only one product line for Carrier Multi-Split Systems, and that is the Performance Series XPower.
The great thing about this product line is that 4 individual indoor units can be connected to a single outdoor unit. The ability to connect more than one unit to the outdoor unit lets you save energy because you only need one compressor-condenser system to operate four separate evaporator systems.
The features of the product line include a SEER rating of up to 14.5, wireless remote controls, selectable fan speeds, dehumidification mode, auto restart, automatic air sweep, cleanable filters, sleep mode, and 24-hour timer.
