When my ac here in Vegas broke, I was surprised. Last June, but the brought out the new unit and realized it was a carrier. Works great doesn't raise my utility bill, I have solar and bill 19. My ac is kept at 78.
High hopes dashed....

Heat never worked right and the installer is unable to find the origin of the problem. They keep telling us that the system doesn't have or use auxiliary, but the thermostats and application constaaleting me that the auxiliary has been on longer than expected.
Disappointed
