Getting the Most Out Of Your Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump

Phoenix Carrier Heat PumpCorrectly Managing Your Installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump System

 With monsoon-related humidity breaking 80-percent and Phoenix regional temperatures remaining above the 100-plus degree mark, the demand for efficient AZ air conditioning continues to rise. In 1902, Willis H. Carrier invented the first solution to industrial needs for managed internal air control – the air conditioner. Modern home, office and industrial AC equipment now includes basic Carrier central air conditioners, the Performance/Comfort Series Heat Pump, and Carrier’s finest available heating and cooling system, the Infinity Series Carrier Heat Pump with Greenspeed™ Intelligence.

The cost-efficiency, energy-effectiveness and reliability of Carrier Air Conditioning equipment is established by years of quality performance and innovative advancements in AC technology. But what can consumers do to ensure that their Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump performs to the max of it’s design?

 

Avoid the Myths of AC and Heat Pump Management

To get the most out of your installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump system, you need to learn the difference between AC myths and AC truths. Effective cooling and heating depends upon right-matching, right-sizing and right-installation of the Carrier HP best suited to your Gilbert, Peoria, Scottsdale or other Phoenix area home or business. However, for the most efficient AC performance, there are also some things that homeowners and business owners should avoid. You need to know the truths concerning the following Air Conditioning myths and misconceptions:

  1. Myth: Setting an AC fan system on continuous action is more economical than an automated system.
  2. Truth: This concept is only valid when your Carrier Heat Pump is using an electronic air filter.
  1. Myth: Shutting the air registers in unused rooms saves operation expenses.
  2. Truth: Correctly installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump systems are selected as an exact match to the structural-specific and air-flow requirements of your home or business. Isolating rooms and closing off vents can actually create a pressure imbalance, which ends up decreasing system efficiency while actually forcing your AC motors to work harder.
  1. Myth: Closing interior doors improves heating and cooling efficiency.
  2. Truth: Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump installations are crafted for a closed-loop environment. When installed as a right-sized, right-matched and properly planned cooling system, your heat pump is crafted to provide precise air pressure throughout the home or office. Closing interior doors that lead into rooms that were fitted into the original design of your Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump installation can produce room-specific pressure leaks around ceiling fixtures, exterior doors, wall plates and windows. Thus the system ends up wasting resources by heating or cooling unnecessary regions within the home or even discharging treated air into the outside spaces.
  1. Myth: Selecting a thermostat setting that limits system run time saves money.
  2. Truth: In order to efficiency perform moisture removal, an installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump needs a continuous run of eight to ten minutes. Due to excessive starting and stopping, short running spans create unnecessary motor wear. Furthermore, humidity levels remain high due to the systems inability to fully remove internal moisture. One way to help eliminate short runs: Install a Carrier two-stage AC system.
  1. Myth: Maintaining a constraint and certain thermostat setting provides cost-efficient heating and cooling.
  2. Truth: Scheduled thermostat changes can provide very effective reduction in heating and cooling costs. Your installed Phoenix Carrier Heat Pump should include a matching programmable thermostat control unit. For example: The Carrier Infinity® Series Heat Pump With Greenspeed™ Intelligence includes a unique-variable-speed technological feature that enables automated management of longer running, lower speed air flow. The effective result: Higher comfort, better efficiency and increased savings in heating and cooling costs.

Expert Carrier AC Installation for Cool Phoenix Living

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.

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

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.

Trane XR13 Heat Pump Review – Trane Product Performance Report

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

Claiming Tax Credit For a Goodman Central AC or Heat Pump

Although general conditions are changing, the current government standards that permit tax credit for Central Air Conditioners (CACs) or Heat Pumps will remain in effect until December 31 of 2013. This tax credit stands good for select energy-efficient heating and cooling equipment, including certain Goodman central AC units and heat pumps. The tax credit applies to select packaged units as well as select split-system units.

Goodman SSZ16 Heat Pump

This is a closing window of opportunity. As the say goes, “Time marches on.” December 31st is rushing toward current homeowners with a speed that will shortly defy memory. Now is the time to upgrade, replace or install new an Goodman central AC or Heat Pump system.

To schedule an immediate Phoenix A/C installation estimate, contact American Cooling and Heating at http://www.americancoolingandheating.com/air-conditioning-and-heating-installation. You get courteous service, reliable system answers, professional technicians and the best pricing in the Valley.

 

Federal Energy Tax Credit Defined

When congress recently modified and extended the existing U.S. energy efficiency tax guidelines, they passed the American Tax Payer Relief Act of 2012. Incentive components of the modified Federal Energy Tax Credit that relate to 25C heating and cooling equipment includes HVAC units used in new homes as well as units retrofitted to existing homes. Federal legislation also embraces retroactive extensions for previously established heating and cooling tax credits.

As such, Phoenix homeowners who purchase select types of Goodman Central AC equipment as well as other eligible heating, ventilation and A/C units are entitled to the benefits of the tax credit program. Note: The tax credit is not limited to air conditioning equipment. However, A/C installation is one of the more costly energy-related home improvement projects.

The new tax credit legislation remains in effect from January 1, 2012 to December 31. Five hundred dollars is established as the cumulative cap or maximum tax credit.

Geothermal tax credits are also components of the Federal Tax Credit program, but this article limits itself to American Cooling and Heating installed Arizona Central Air Conditioning systems and American Cooling and Heating installed Arizona Heat Pump systems. When referring to Phoenix Arizona, we include all regional towns and cities that are serviced by the AC&H maintenance, repair and A/C installation teams, including:

Anthem, Apache Junction, Avondale, Ahwatukee, Biltmore, Cave Creek, Carefree, Chandler, Desert Foothills, El Mirage, Fountain Hills, Gilbert, Glendale, Gold Canyon, Goodyear, Higley, Litchfield Park, Luke AFB, Mesa, New River, Paradise Valley, Peoria, Queen Creek, Scottsdale, Sun City, Sun City West, Sun Lakes, Surprise, Tempe, Tolleson, Wadell, Youngtown and other areas within the greater Phoenix Arizona Metro.

How To Get Your Tax Credit For An AC&H Installed Phoenix A/C System

Before addressing tax credit details specific to AC&H installed Goodman centeral AC or heat pump units, you need to understand the general principles of how to apply for a 25C Air Conditioning tax credit. A few basic rules apply:

  • The installed unit must meet precise energy efficiency standards
  • The filling papers must include a copy of the Manufacturer’s Certification Statement (MCS) for the equipment in use
  • The credit is limited to $500 maximum or 10-percent of the A/C installation costs, whichever is the less of the two
  • The unit must be installed in your principle residences between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2013
  • The IRS directs residential taxpayers to apply using Form 5695
  • Wise consumers will consult with a tax professional before filing the claim.

When Arizona-based American Cooling and Heating installs your qualifying Goodman heating and cooling system, or any other qualifying brand name system such as Carrier, Trane or Rheem, you will receive the necessary Manufacturer’s Certification Statement. AC&H customer support also includes a detailed unit service manual, a list of system operations and system maintenance routines, and hands-on instructions for thermostat management and setup.

American Cooling and Heating installs the following federal tax credit qualified residential Goodman central AC heating and cooling products:

  • Split system A/C systems that meet efficiency levels for both 16 SEER and 13 EER
  • Split system Heat Pump units that meet efficiency levels of 15 SEER, 12.5 EER and 8.5 HSPF
  • Packaged Goodman air conditioning, heat pump or dual fuel products that meet efficiency levels of 14 SEER, 12 EER and 8 HSPF.

Your AC&H Phoenix A/C installation sales representative will advise you of product specifics, Goodman “EcoRebates” and the government synopsis of eligible Energy Star Goodman products.

But remember…

Timing is essential to tax credit eligibility. In order for you to claim an existing A/C tax credit, the system must be installed for use in your principal residence before the closing hours of December 31, 2013. So Call Now. The American Cooling and Heating staff is on-hand 24/7/365.
