Comfort™ Series Heat Pumps Featuring WeatherShield™ Protection

Designed for Long-Lasting Performance in Harsh Coastal Climates





Durability


Neither rain nor hail nor salt corrosion can keep a Carrier system from doing its job -
they're built tough inside and out.

  • ArmorPlate™ factory coil coating protects the outdoor coil from harsh salt air. A specially formulated epoxy is permanently bonded to the coil surfaces. This advanced technology helps prevent the destructive galvanic corrosion that is common in coastal areas.

  • WeatherShield™ protection and galvanized steel cabinet with a baked on paint finish protect against corrosion and keep your system looking its best for years.

  • Carrier's compressor design has the most trouble-free performance record of any compressor on the market today.
  • Louvered steel coil guard promotes optimum airflow through the outdoor unit and prevents coil damage from rocks, sticks, lawn and sports equipment and more.


Greater Operational Efficiency


Carrier's Comfort™ Series heat pumps with WeatherShield™ protection are available with efficiency ratings up to 15.0 SEER when cooling and up to 8.8 HSPF when heating. For every $100 spent to cool your home using a 10.0 SEER heat pump, a 15.0 SEER heat pump should cost you approximately $67. Actual savings will depend on the efficiency of your current system compared to the efficiency of a new system.




Warranty


The Carrier Comfort™ Series heat pump is protected by a 10-year limited warranty on the compressor and a five-year limited warranty on the entire unit. Extended warranties are also available. Ask your Carrier dealer for details.


Technology










Rigorous testing by Carrier engineers has shown the WeatherShield™ coil to last three times longer than a standard coil in harsh coastal conditions. This improved performance is due to features such as the heavy-duty fin design that resists trapping salt water and the added protection of ArmorPlate™ coating.

ArmorPlate™ coil coating -
protects the outdoor coil fins from harsh salt air. A specially formulated epoxy-phenolic coating is permanently bonded to the coil fin surfaces.


Aerodynamic top - enhances airflow through the outdoor unit, and reduces noisy turbulence.


Compressor - the heart of the heat pump, the compressor pumps refrigerant through the system.


WeatherShield™ protection
package - combines four design elements that protect your comfort:

a. Galvanized steel cabinet
b. Louvered steel coil guard
c. Baked-on powder paint
d. Painted, ceramic-coated screws


Copper Microtube™/aluminum
fin coil - transfers heat outside to maximize indoor cooling while resisting corrosion.


Filter drier - constantly filters the refrigerant to remove moisture or other contaminants that can harm your heat pump system.


High-pressure & loss-of-charge
switches - protects the system from extreme conditions.


Sound Hood - reduces compressor sound.
