When you need a break from the heat of summer, it's
refreshing to know that your home is being cooled quietly, efficiently and
reliably. Carrier has traditionally provided products that outperform
the competition, and the 38TRA continues that heritage. Offering the
advantages of our exclusive Silencer System, this air conditioner delivers
cool comfort while minimizing sound both inside and outside of your home.
And, because it's designed and built by Carrier, the 38TRA offers
reliability backed by nearly a century of indoor comfort expertise. |

Carrier's exclusive Silencer System combines four major design
elements to control sound created by air turbulence and vibration. The
Silencer System top allows air to flow easily through the unit to minimize
the sound caused by air turbulence. This top design also allows us to use
an energy-saving low-speed fan motor and fan to draw air across the unit's
outdoor coil. Beneath the compressor, a vibration isolator plate combines
two layers of steel sandwiched around a rubbery insulation material. This
isolator plate absorbs sound and vibration from the compressor. Finally, a
vinyl-wrapped sound hood covers the compressor to further reduce exterior
sound. With this unique system, it would take about sixteen 38TRA air
conditioners, operating simultaneously, to create the same amount of noise
generated by one typical air conditioner.
Enjoy the quiet comfort of your home knowing that
your air conditioner is saving you money, too. The Silencer System
does more than just keep sound to a minimum. It also helps the 38TRA work
more efficiently to conserve electricity. Combine that performance with
Carrier's economical scroll compressor, and you can cool your home at up
to a remarkable 14.0 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) efficiency.
Keep in mind that most older models are rated at about 8 SEER, and
government minimum models are rated at 10 SEER, making the 38TRA an
excellent choice at 12.0 SEER, earning it the EPA's Energy Star seal for
high efficiency.

Carrier has built a lasting reputation for quality by offering
air conditioners designed, built and tested to perform dependably. There's nothing quite as disappointing
as equipment failure, especially if it affects your comfort in the heat of
summer. Carrier understands the need to build quality products and backs
it up with the industry's toughest reliability testing program. In fact,
we test the 38TRA at 125°. That's a full 10° higher than the industry
standard requirements. Testing of hand-built prototypes, assembly line
testing, and field testing of completed units help ensure that when you
buy Carrier, you can buy with confidence.
We're confident in the durability of the 38TRA and we add peace of
mind with elements designed to protect its vital components. External protection comes in the form of Carrier's
WeatherArmor™ III, a cabinet system that protects the outdoor coil against
damage from rocks and sticks, as well as your garden trimmer, to provide
years of good looks and durability. The wire guard design of the
WeatherArmor™ III system also allows better airflow and easier coil
inspection and cleaning. This type of detailed protection is what makes
Carrier different from the competition, and why homeowners nationwide put
their trust in Carrier for all of their indoor comfort needs. |
