Environmentally Sound
Puron® Refrigerant
 Puron
is the refrigerant of the future, and Carrier is prepared to help homeowners
like you enjoy improved comfort right now, with a full line of products
utilizing this performance-enhancing refrigerant. You may not realize it,
but your existing heating and cooling system is an endangered species.
That's the result of the 1990 Clean Air Act. These documents call for an
international phase out on future manufacturing of the refrigerant R-22,
which is currently used in most air conditioning and heat pump systems.
In response to this phase out, Carrier has been hard at work assisting
in the development of a replacement refrigerant.
Extensive
testing in hundreds of thousands of homes in the marketplace has helped
us determine that Puron is superior to R-22 in performance and energy efficiency,
in addition to being environmentally sound. These outstanding results have
made Puron refrigerant the universally accepted, long-term refrigerant
for the heating and cooling industry.
Carrier
is the first manufacturer to develop indoor cooling products using Puron,
the chlorine-free replacement refrigerant for R-22. As companies worldwide
race to switch over to chlorine-free refrigerants, Carrier offers the experience
of having introduced the first air conditioners with an alternative refrigerant
back in 1996. Now, Carrier is expanding its line to offer a wide range
of environmentally sound products. Carrier's superior technology enables
you to begin investing in your future today with air conditioning systems
that are environmentally sound.
A
Carrier air conditioning system with Puron refrigerant delivers enhanced
energy efficiency, quieter operation and outstanding reliability today,
while meeting the environmental standards of the future. Puron refrigerant
has a proven record of outstanding reliability and has been approved by
the EPA for use in the United States. European and Japanese markets are
also introducing products using this high-performance, chlorine-free refrigerant.
Carrier's
initial central air conditioner using Puron refrigerant shows exceptional
reliability, with the lowest incidence of service in Carrier's entire product
line. The improved energy efficiency of our line of indoor products with
Puron refrigerant will result in a reduction in your heating or cooling
costs. And, by making the switch to a system utilizing Puron refrigerant
now, you may avoid the potentially rising costs associated with servicing
or replacing R-22-based systems.
Carrier
heating and cooling experts are specially trained and certified to install
and service Carrier products using Puron refrigerant. As you become more
aware of the inevitable switch to products with Puron refrigerant, Carrier's
experts will be able to help you make the right choice for the future:
Carrier products with Puron refrigerant.
Is Puron® right for
you?
If
you are thinking about replacing your air conditioner or heat pump, keep
in mind that Carrier's Puron-based products offer several homeowner benefits,
including:
Energy
Efficiency, Most of our Puron air conditioners and heat pumps offer higher
efficiency ratings. Puron's heat-transfer properties lend themselves to
higher-efficiency performance.
Future
cost of service savings, Because of U.S. government restrictions on future
production, refrigerants with ozone-harming CFCs, the refrigerant used
in most of today's heat pumps and air conditioners, will become harder
to find and, eventually, more expensive. Switching to Puron now can help
you avoid the potential rising cost of servicing most of today's air conditioners
and heat pumps.
Reliability,
Carrier's air conditioners and heat pumps with Puron refrigerant have become
the most reliable products in our entire line.
Quiet
Operation, Many of the air conditioners and heat pumps with Puron refrigerant
also offer Carrier's Silencer SystemTM for quieter operation. |
