Features
Different central air conditioner products affect your comfort and the consistency of indoor cool air. A single-stage air conditioner is the most basic model, with airflow on or off. A two-stage model offers high- and low-stage cooling as conditions require and therefore can provide enhanced comfort levels. Variable-speed AC systems include premium comfort features such as multiple stages for more precise temperature control and more consistent comfort.
Control
Reducing the humidity levels within your home can dramatically improve your comfort and indoor air quality. To help cool your home, your AC unit pulls heat and humidity out of indoor air, using your system’s blower to circulate the air. Models with a variable-speed compressor provide excellent humidity control because they can operate at lower speeds for longer times. So, they spend more time pulling humidity out of the air than models with a two-stage or single-stage compressor.
Performance
Air conditioners with variable and multi-stage compressors provide ultra-quiet operation compared to models with single-stage compressors. In addition, models that include sound blankets and our Silencer System II™ design can further reduce noise levels. If your AC unit is located near a bedroom window or patio, for example, sound performance might be an important feature to consider.
Savings
Air conditioners are rated by their seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER2). The SEER2 rating of an air conditioner is much like miles per gallon (MPG) for a car: The higher the SEER2 rating, the more energy efficient the system.

What is Central Air Conditioning and How Does It Work?
WIDE SELECTION OF CARRIER AIR CONDITIONERS
Carrier offers a variety of AC units to fit any budget and to keep your home comfortable. Your local Carrier expert can help you select the best AC system to fit your needs. No ducts? No problem. We also offer ductless mini split systems.
Types Of Carrier AC Systems
We know that not every house is the same. That’s why we offer a variety of different types of Carrier air conditioners to meet the needs of your unique home. Our central air conditioning systems include an air conditioner and an indoor unit with an AC evaporator coil, typically installed in a utility closet, basement, or attic. The blower fan of the indoor unit will distribute conditioned air throughout the home through ductwork within the walls of your home. In some climates, people will select heat pumps for the outdoor unit and pair them with indoor air handlers because they can also provide electric heating which is ideal for some regions.
Carrier also offers ductless mini splits which are flexible cooling solutions that doesn’t require ductwork. Mini splits are also an energy efficient option and don’t obstruct a window, unlike a bulky window air conditioner.
Regardless of your situation, you can have confidence that Carrier has an AC system that can meet your home comfort needs.

SEER2 AND EER2 RATINGS
We recently released several new our new conditioners that are compliant with the upcoming 2023 Department of Energy minimum efficiency requirements as part of our ongoing commitment to creating energy-efficient HVAC systems. These new air conditioners have also been reviewed and tested under the new 2023 testing procedures and have SEER2 and EER2 ratings published. These new air conditioners are just several models that will meet the new 2023 Department of Energy efficiency standards. We will be offering a full line of cooling products that meet the newly set criteria this year, ahead of the January 1, 2023 deadline as part of our #2023READY initiative.
Starting January 1, 2023, the Department of Energy (DOE) is requiring new testing procedures to determine efficiency ratings on split system air conditioners. The Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER and SEER2) and Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER and EER2) are two efficiency standards set by the DOE for HVAC systems. These ratios are calculated by using rigorous testing procedures that are determined by the DOE. The Department Of Energy will be updating these air conditioner efficiency standards to SEER2 and EER2, on January 1, 2023, to account for more accurate testing conditions that better represent actual operating conditions and will be required for any equipment manufactured and installed on or after January 1, 2023.
