2. Refrigerant

Freon®–22 Refrigerant
Since its debut in 1930, Freon refrigerant has been used in cooling systems. And while it’s still available, the Clean Air Act of 1990 prohibits the production of Freon–22-based air conditioners and heat pumps by 2010, and Freon–22 production by 2020. As Freon–22 production declines, its cost is predicted to rise. (Freon is a registered trademark of E.I. duPont de Nemours & Company.)

Puron® Refrigerant
Carrier was the first to introduce a new, non-ozone-depleting refrigerant called Puron – a full six years ahead of the competition — paving the way for the future. Puron refrigerant is chlorine-free, so it doesn’t damage the Earth’s ozone layer. And, as other refrigerants become less available, Puron refrigerant will be the refrigerant of choice for years to come.

4. Sound

Home comfort shouldn’t come at your ears’ expense. That’s why quiet is built right into every system. Carrier furnaces feature the QuieTech™ noise reduction system that provides comfortable heat while generating very little noise in the process.

Carrier air conditioners are also quiet, thanks to the exclusive Silencer System™ that ensures extra-quiet performance by maximizing airflow while minimizing vibration. With sound ratings as low as 69 decibels (dB), Carrier’s Infinity™ Series air conditioners make less noise than a refrigerator.
