38YXA Heat Pump

                                                           Oliver Heating & Cooling - 38YXA
Carrier has always provided leadership and innovation to the home comfort industry. Now, in response to global concern over ozone depletion, Carrier again leads the world with the first non-ozone depleting heat pump - the 38YXA. This remarkable product provides all of the heating and cooling performance you've come to expect from Carrier, along with excellent energy efficiency ratings and reliability you can depend on.

Act now and you'll be ahead later because the existing heat pump systems that use Freon®-22* will either be replaced or converted for use with Puron® refrigerant. By making the switch now, you will be doing your part to help minimize the effects of ozone depletion while enjoying the comfort, performance and long-term reliability of Carrier indoor comfort. The 38YXA heat pump easily surpasses the efficiency of the older heat pump you are replacing. And, when compared to newer models that use Freon®-22, the 38YXA is a sound investment because you'll avoid the potentially high costs involved in maintaining an indoor comfort system that uses the older refrigerant.

Carrier products have always delivered excellent reliability, and these new products with Puron refrigerant improve on that record. In fact, Carrier was the first company to offer a long-term replacement for Freon®-22 as far back as 1996. That experience, coupled with our existing knowledge of indoor technology has enabled us to develop one of the most reliable, energy efficient heat pump lines available. Environmentally sound, economically prudent and extremely reliable, Carrier's 38YXA heat pump with Puron® refrigerant delivers the year-round comfort you and your family expect from the industry leader.

No matter how the technology changes, Carrier's commitment to providing you with the most comfortable indoor climate stays the same. One aspect of comfort that other manufacturers often overlook is quiet operation. At Carrier, we understand that when it's time to relax with the family, the last thing you want to hear is a noisy heat pump. The 38YXA, with Carrier's exclusive Silencer System, is one of the quietest heat pumps currently available.

                                           

The 38YXA includes our Silencer System top, an extra-efficient fan, a heavy-duty compressor shell with a sound deadening hood, and a compressor vibration isolator plate. The Silencer System top is designed to allow smooth, easy airflow into and out of the outdoor unit to minimize sound and air turbulence. This new top design also allows us to utilize a low-speed fan motor with large-diameter fan blades. These two features provide quieter, more efficient operation than a high-speed fan. The compressor vibration isolator plate is made of a special vibration absorbing material surrounded by two metal plates. It's mounted underneath the compressor and prevents vibrational noise from escaping. The sound hood is designed of sound-absorbing materials which surround the compressor and further enhance the quiet comfort of the 38YXA. These components work together to reduce noise from air turbulence and compressor operation, making the 38YXA both quiet and unobtrusive.

In addition to delivering quiet comfort, the Silencer System enhances the operational efficiency of the 38YXA. Due to the improved airflow throughout the outdoor coil, the heat pump system doesn't have to work as hard as other systems. As a result, the 38YXA delivers quiet indoor comfort with improved energy efficiency ratings up to 8.6 HSPF and 14.5 SEER.

Designed to deliver the comfort, efficiency and reliability of tomorrow, Carrier's 38YXA heat pump is the perfect choice for homeowners today. On the outside, our WeatherArmor™ III system combines a heavy, galvanized steel cabinet, a heavy-duty wire grid and ceramic-coated screws to protect your heat pump system from rust, corrosion and other potentially damaging outdoor elements. Inside the unit, the rugged, durable components are made of copper, brass and aluminum for long-lasting comfort and energy savings.

From the first phases of development to the finished product, Carrier's extensive testing ensures that each 38YXA heat pump meets our strict requirements for performance and durability. Our reliability checks begin with design and assembly-line testing. Then, Carrier designs and tests the 38YXA for applications up to 125°. That's a full 10° higher than the industry standard requirements. Finally, each product is run-tested by a bank of computers which check the vital functions to ensure that your new heat pump will meet your comfort demands.
