Expert Carrier AC Installation for Cool Phoenix Living

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in AC Installation, Arizona Air Conditioning Installation, Carrier, Carrier Air Conditioning Arizona.

Home air conditioning is all about personal and family comfort. But what you buy, how much you spend and how effective if works depends as much on location and installation as it does on product quality. Carrier produces some of the best home air conditioning systems in the world, but how do you know which Carrier A/C system best fits your Phoenix AZ home, and which expert Carrier AC installation crew can get the job done quickly, efficiently and right?

 

What’s It Like To Live In Arizona, Around The Valley, In Gilbert, Mesa And Other Phoenix Regions?

On the positive side, you can expect sunny days, some harsh weather and some nice weather, toll-free roads, gun laws that favor the victim rather than the criminal, good people with conservative attitudes, few labor disputes, and a mixture of climate and geography that includes canyons, forests and deserts.

On the negative side, you may encounter a shortage of competitive jobs, an economy too dependent on construction and retiree-owned real estate, dry air and perhaps an over-abundance of sun, lots of small houses too close together, a shortage of shade, and that awesome endless press of summer heat.

In other words, Arizona is not New York City and the need for high performance expert Carrier AC installation and cooling power rules dominate for more than seven months per year.

 

Quite Comfort With Installed Carrier A/C in Phoenix

Weather is often unpredictable, but around Gilbert, Peoria, Scottsdale and other valley regions, the heat typically far surpasses the cool. Home should be a place for comfort and relaxation. An American Cooling and Heating installed Carrier air conditioning system assures you and your family of reliable, energy-efficient and long-term home comfort.

Carrier home heating and cooling equipment is crafted to provide precise and consistent user control of air quality, room-to-room temperature and humidity levels. The units are designed for quiet operation with the:

  • Infinity® Series coming in with sound levels as low as 69dB to 65dB
  • Performance Compact and the Performance/ Comfort™ Series ranging from 68dB to 73dB
  • AND the Comfort/Base systems tapping in at a mere 72dB.

 

Energy-Efficient Arizona Home Cooling With Expert Carrier AC Installation

Carrier has introduced some of the most ground-breaking heating and cooling technology on the market. From heat pumps to central air conditioners and from ductless systems to furnaces, the energy efficiency of the Carrier HVAC product line ranks with the best in the world with the:

  • Infinity® Series hitting up to 21 SEER and up to 15 EER
  • Infinity/ Performance™ Series stroking up to 18 SEER and 13.7 EER
  • Performance Compact and the Performance/ Comfort™ Series coming in at up to 18 SEER and 13.8 EER
  • AND the Comfort/Base systems pushing out up to 16.5 SEER and up to 13.5 EER.

 

Expert Arizona Carrier AC Installation

In a metaphorical sense of location, friendly people and a diversified environment Arizona is a cool place to live. In a literal sense of pressing temperatures and harsh wind patterns, Arizona can be a very hot place to live. Carrier air conditioning can make the difference between good living and miserable living. The equipment is designed to provide efficient, cost-effective heating and cooling. However, without expert Arizona Air Conditioning installation, even the best HVAC product on the market can perform poorly and inadequately.

Carrier is crafted for comfort. The Infinity® Series, Infinity/ Performance™ Series and the 24CB7 Model of the Performance/ Comfort™ Series take advantage of 2-stage scroll compressor technology. All Carrier units can be purchased with optional labor warranties, Ozone-friendly Puron refrigerant and a 10-year limited parts warranty (providing that the current product registration requirements are fully satisfied.

Amana ASXC18: A Phoenix ACH Close-up On the Amana ASXC18

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in AC Installation, Arizona Air Conditioning Installation.

Amana premium air conditionersAC&H Central Air Conditioning Review of the Amana ASXC18

With 2013 in full swing and a tad over half finished, it’s a good time to consider which Air Conditioning systems provide the best value for your Gilbert, Mesa, Scottsdale or other Phoenix area home or business. Arizona-based American Cooling and Heating services, repairs and installs Amana A/C products as well as various other top line HVAC equipment. This review is not designed to favor one brand above another, but rather identifies the pros and cons of the Amana ASXC18.

Buying central air conditioning or heat pump equipment is never easy. The choices in brand name, available options, features, and the specifics of your Phoenix air conditioning installation needs can hinder a straight-forward purchase. By knowing which units of a given brand name stand out above the competitors, you can make a better choice. By knowing which units work well in AZ terrain, the choice becomes even more narrow. For your convenience, the experts at AC&H have put together a set of criteria that measure A/C performance based upon:

  • Durability
  • Performance
  • Price
  • AND Warranty.

Please keep in mind that all successful and efficient Phoenix Air Conditioning installations must include a measuring of site specifics, customer expectations and unit matching to existing structural conditions. Also understand that effective A/C selection also depends upon local climate, seasonal temperature variations and the associated energy requirements of the area.

The premium Amana ASXC18 makes a nice budget selection for Phoenix regional heating and cooling. Your home or business may be better suited to a smaller system or even a larger system. The AC&H tech team is on hand 24/7 to help you make the best air conditioning equipment choice for your precise needs.

 

Amana ASXC18, A Premium Air Conditioning Product at Budget-Level Pricing

For a premium A/C priced for budget-level cooling system, the popular Amana ASXC18 provides superior cooling performance, high-efficiency output and quiet operation. With reasonable pricing for reliable operation and durable performance, the ASXC18 comes in as a top value for 2013 A/C equipment. The Amana premium lifetime replace limited warranty topped off with a 10-year limited warranty on parts gets Arizona residents and businesses a cost-effective cooling unit that handles Arizona temperatures with relative ease.

As a total cooling package, the Amana ASXC18:

  • Provides up to 18 SEER performance
  • Uses R-410A Chlorine-Free Refrigerant
  • Is compatible with the Amana ComfortNet™ Communications System
  • Includes the features of Copeland ComfortAlert™ diagnostics routines
  • Takes advantage of the Copeland® UltraTech™ two-stage scroll compressor
  • Includes a factory-installed filter drier
  • Uses coil and ambient temperature sensors
  • Includes wire grille for fan discharge
  • Ships as a compact footprint unit
  • Coil guard is constructed of louvered steel
  • Sweat connection service valves make for easy access gage ports
  • AND includes a quiet, two-speed condenser fan motor.

Depending on the sub-model, the ASXC18 outputs a cooling capacity of 35,000 to 57,000  BTU/h. The condenser fan runs at 1/3 horsepower (RPM) on all sub-models, and the Amana ASXC18 voltage-phase-hz for all sub-models holds at 208/230-1-60. Unit height, width and depth on all sub-models is 38-1/4, 35-1/2 and 35-1/5 respectively.

 

What Do the Amana ASXC18 Specs Mean To You?

The Amana ASXC18 rates as a great budget pick. It’s quality Air Conditioning at reasonable pricing. The system is quiet, backed by an excellent warranty and priced less than the more expensive models that rank high for 2013 performance. On the downside, some Amana products come in with a reliable reputation issue that falls a bit below the central air conditioning systems offered by other vendors. The unit can achieve up to an 18-SEER rating, yet Consumer Search reports actual ranges that fall between 15 and 19. The measure of energy efficiency ratio (EER) hangs between 11.2 and 13.25, making it possible that your installed ASXC18 will miss the Energy Start rating that permits a tax credit.

Pricing of the ASXC18 ranges from a 3-ton at $2,550 to a 5-ton at $3,300. This makes the unit a great budget pick that still affords quality performance. The unit may miss out on federal tax credits and utility company rebates. However, the 10-year limited warranty on parts, and the availability of a lifetime limited warranty on the compressor and the condensing unit can easily makeup for minor gains through tax credits and utility rebates. All in all, the ASXC18 remains a top A/C budget-choice for 2013.

 

Quality of Installation Makes the Deciding Factor

The final performance factor of any installed Phoenix Air Conditioning system depends as much on the skills of the installer as it does the expected ratings of the unit. When correctly matched to your Gilbert, Mesa or Scottsdale home, the Amana ASXC18 provides an effective budget-solution to your heating and cooling needs.

American Cooling and Heating is fully trained and equipped to ensure that your selected A/C system:

  • Suits your personal comfort needs
  • Exceeds the requirements of your home structure and layout
  • Provides effective energy-efficient operation
  • Is cost-effective
  • Installed with professional care and consideration
  • Backed by a reliable warranty
  • AND is priced to fit your personal budget.

Introducing Carrier® Greenspeed™ Intelligence: Arizona HVAC Installation and Service Center, American Cooling and Heating, Releases New Series of Energy Efficiency Education Discussions

Written by American Cooling And Heating on . Posted in Carrier Air Conditioning Arizona.

Arizona-Based American Cooling and Heating Kicks Off New Energy Efficiency Education Series With a Priority Focus On Carrier® Infinity® Heat Pump with Greenspeed™ Technology

Concerning state-of-the-art air conditioning technology, Arizona consumers deserve reliable updates from a premier Mesa AZ heating and cooling provider. Herein, American Cooling and Heating presents the full “Scoop” on Carrier’s Greenspeed™ Intelligence A/C control system.

“Released in 2011 as a ground-breaking expansion in heating efficiency, Greenspeed™ Technology has pumped Carrier® to an unprecedented level of Air Conditioning performance. It’s a technological advancement that enhances the efficiency of Carrier® Infinity® Heat Pumps. For the best in air conditioning comfort, pricing and energy efficiency, go with Greenspeed™,” Phoenix A/C installation regional manager, ACH.

Exclusive One-of-a-Kind Carrier Air Conditioning Resource for Total Home Comfort

From costs saving energy-efficiency to exceptional personal comforts, the Carrier® Infinity® Series HP/with Greenspeed™ Intelligence provides a level of heating and cooling excellence never before experienced by the buying public. These powerhouse heating and cooling systems bear Carrier’s highest seal for heat pump efficiency ratings. Even when outside temperatures drop below freezing, the Infinity® with Greenspeed™ provides effective cooling management that eliminates the need for auxiliary heating resources. Likewise, when the exterior air is cooking at 88 degrees, the Infinity® provides interior comfort without pumping up cold air like it was 106 degrees outside.

Older Central A/C equipment is either ramped on or ramped off. The early technology lacks the capacity to adapt to changing environmental conditions. In essence, older systems waste money by running at full-speed even when half-speed can provide comfortable and more energy-efficient heating and cooling.

But Greenspeed™ technology when merged with the Carrier’s Infinity controls use a form of computerized artificial intelligence to “learn,” “think” and adapt in a way that provides advance management of home and business comfort levels. The Infinity with Greenspeed™ measures humidity, desired customer comfort ranges, and outside temperatures so as to make an “intelligent” decision on how to best apply the home’s energy needs. The adaptable-speed cooling of Infinity plus Greenspeed™ technology provides the most efficient method of providing optimal air conditioning comfort.

Heat Pump Performance Demands Quality Heat Pump Installation

Rated editors choice among the Greenbuilder hot 50 products of 2012, the Infinity® Series Heat Pump With Greenspeed™ Intelligence pulls top numbers, including:

· 7 of 7 in Heat Efficiency 
· 7 of 7 in Cool Efficiency 
· AND 7 of 7 in Level of Quietness.

However, effective A/C performance also depends on the skills, know-how and air conditioning installation expertise of the local heat pump installation team. Even the best of the best in heating and cooling equipment excels or fails at the hands of the installer. Arizona temperatures impose exceptional demands on home and business cooling systems. Correctly matching factory specific heat pump installation procedures makes the difference between merely cooling a structure and in comfortable but effective energy-efficient cooling of that structure.

American Cooling and Heating guarantees Arizona customers professional, reliable and accurate Carrier A/C Service 24/7:

· Arizona heat pump and air conditioning repairs 
· Arizona air conditioning and heat pump maintenance 
· AND Arizona heat pump installation and Arizona A/C installation.

Understanding the Importance of Greenspeed™ Technology

Greenspeed™ Technology ups the stakes. When the Carrier® Infinity® 20 Heat Pump is combined with Carrier® Greenspeed™ Intelligence, Phoenix customers get a system that:

· Delivers comfortable heating at three times the efficiency of standard forced-air electric furnaces 
· Uses a variable-speed compressor to enable soft-start ramp up or ramp down rather than surge behavior 
· Smoothly adjusts to variable output ranges from 40 to 100 percent of capacity 
· Functions as an intelligent unit management system 
· Provides an adaptable and accurate communications link between customer comfort choices, energy efficiency operation and reliable system performance.

The Carrier® Infinity® Heat Pump system with Greenspeed™ reaches efficiency ratings that tap the top of the Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF), making Infinity® Heat Pumps the highest ducted heating HSPF 13 efficiency air conditioning system available.

Energy Costs Shrink, Comfort Levels Soar

When ACH installs Infinity® with Greenspeed™ in AZ homes or AZ businesses, a strange and exciting behind-the-scenes technology springs into effect. Energy consumption decreases yet home temperatures are precisely aligned to overcome the pressure of exterior temperatures. Homeowner comfort increases and cost-effective automation makes it happen.

When correctly installed, the Infinity® with Greenspeed™ provides Arizona consumers with:

· SEER – up to 20 
· HSPF – up to 13 
· Quietness – as low as 58 dB2 
· Variable-Speed Temperature Control – For superior humidity, temperature management and personal comfort

Trane XR13 Heat Pump Review – Trane Product Performance Report

Written by Rm Harrington on . Posted in AC Service, Heat Pumps, Trane.

Focusing on the Performance of the Trane XR13 Heat Pump

Designed for performance and durability, all Trane Heat Pump products are engineered according to strict quality control standards designed to set the Trane brand apart above the normal of common industry values. From development of the Climatuff® compressor to creation of the elite Spine Fin™ coil and the ground-breaking Hyperion® air handler system, each individual Trane component is custom crafted to perform above the level of generic off-the-shelf air conditioning equipment. But is the Trane XR13 really an efficient heating and cooling solution for your air conditioning project?

Let’s start with the basic specs for the XR13 HP. What can you expect in performance and enhancements? The XR13: 

  • Meets new federal regulations
  • Functions quietly
  • Uses a Trane Climatuff® compressor and a Trane Spine Fin™ coil
  • Can produce up to 14.50 SEER and 8.50 HSPF
  • Is crafted for long-term durability
  • Variable speed inside blower
  • Uses Galvanized-steel louvered panels
  • Includes baked-on powder coating
  • Uses fasteners crafted with corrosion-resistant Weatherguard™
  • Incorporates a rust-proof DuraTuff™ basepan
  • Supports add-on of the Trane CleanEffects™ air filtration system
  • AND carries a 10-year Registered Limited Warranty that includes the compressor, the outdoor coil and all internal functional parts*.

Now all this sounds cool – pardon the pun, but what does it mean in real world applications and in comparison to other heat pump products?

Comparison Cost Versus Efficiency

The Trane XR13 Heat Pump provides a slight advantage over the cost versus efficiency of the XB14 and the XR15. Although both the XB14 and the XR15 are better performers, the cost of each exceeds that of the XR13. For example:  

  • The XB14 costs around 25-percent more than the 13, yet the efficiency ratings only increase by around 12-percent.
  • Likewise, the XR15 exceeds the cost of the XR13 by around 30-percent but only increases efficiency by around 22-percent.

This cost versus efficiency evaluation compares Trane to Trane. Different brands will still compare in a similar manner. However, you should remember that Carrier still uses copper coils, which are more expensive that the aluminum coils used in Trane. And, of course, not all air conditioning manufacturers practice the same standards as Trane. Less expensive equipment does not mean poorer quality, but it can me less technical support, more limited warranties and various difficult to spot production-cost savings.

Final Comparisons 

The cost factors of the above figures are not all inclusive. SEER and HSPF are not the only dynamics of air conditioning performance and efficiency. In an area with temperatures as high as those found in Phoenix Arizona, you must also consider humidity, the structure of the home and the extended exposure to grueling heat waves. 

Furthermore, the condition of your existing home duct system and insulation performance must also be considered. Only a licensed, bonded and insured Phoenix Trane Heat Pump Installation professional can answer all of your questions. But in the mean time, here are the basic pros and cons of the Trane XR13 Heat Pump:

Trane XR13 HP Pros  

  • Low priced
  • Capacity range of 1.5 to 5 tons
  • Rates above average against other compatible low-end models
  • Uses one of the shortest profiles in the HVAC industry
  • Provides great cost versus efficiency value
  • Qualifies for up to $500.00 in Eco Rebates 

Trane XR13 HP Cons   

  • Low-end model
  • Does not qualify for Energy Star rating
  • Uses single stage compressor
  • Sometimes a bit too loud for comfort

American Cooling and Heating Providing Phoenix Air Conditioning Solutions

Keep in mind: Low-end is not by default insufficient. For many homeowners, the Trane XR13 provides a reliable cost-efficient and energy efficient solution to their Arizona heating and cooling requirements.

Carrier Greenspeed Air Conditioning Technology In Arizona Provided By American Cooling And Heating

[jwplayer mediaid=”9195″]

Combining Infinity® Intelligence and Adaptable-Speed Technology for Total Comfort

The problem with many old technologies is that they can’t adapt to their environment – they don’t have the ability to “think” about what is happening and make adjustments. They run full-speed all the time and waste your money.Carrier’s Infinity controls “learn” about the home’s energy needs, the system, and the comfort levels and match them with the outside temperature to make decisions about the most efficient way of running the system. The adaptable-speed technology takes over from there to adjust the cooling and heating system to keep the home at its most optimal comfortable level.

For busy people, energy efficient heating and cooling equipment may seem like it popped out of the factory almost as soon as Willis Haviland Carrier produced the first life-style changing air conditioning system. But in truth, Major technological changes do not occur so quickly. Consider the following time frame:

· 1758 – John Hadley from Cambridge University discovered that certain liquids evaporate quick enough to freeze water.
· 1830 – The first patented ice-making machine came on the scene. The inventor used airflow to produce a rudimentary form of air conditioning, but he lacked the financial backing to make the project succeed.
· 1902 – Willis Carrier crafted and introduced the design for modern air-conditioning equipment. The device was successful. Carrier Air Conditioning Company of American came into existence.
· 1932 – The individual room A/C came on the market at a modern equivalency price of $120,000 to $600,000 per unit.
· 1953 – Production methods advanced. Prices dropped. The sale of residential air conditioning tipped the one million units mark.
· 1970 – Central Air Conditioning entered the home cooling market. Condenser, coils, a fan and ductwork used R-12 Freon to provide economic home cooling solutions.
· 1994 – Scientists noted the dangers of R-12 Freon. Environmental protection forced a switch to less damaging refrigerants. The changeover is still in works today.
· 2011 – Greenspeed™ Technology enabled three-ton Carrier® Infinity® Heat Pumps to deliver up to 69-percent greater heating efficiency.
· 2012 – In the Annual EID: Silver Awards, appliance DESIGN Magazine says that the variable-speed Carrier® Infinity® 20 Heat Pump (Model 25VNA) with Greenspeed™ Intelligence provides “precise delivery of heating and cooling comfort in longer, lower speed run times.”

After 250 years of A/C-related technological advances, Greenspeed™ Technology ups the stakes. When the Carrier® Infinity® 20 Heat Pump is combined with Carrier® Greenspeed™ Intelligence, Arizona customers get an air conditioning system that is one of the world’s most advanced.
