Carrier offer both residential and commercial solutions with an eye for the environment. Their intelligent, energy saving features counter the price, which is more expensive than other brands.

RESIDENTIAL SOLUTIONS COMMERCIAL SOLUTIONS

Residential Solutions

Carrier’s residential systems are designed to heat and cool your home with a minimum of noise and energy use. Carrier Australia offers single split systems and ducted systems. Both present with a neat and tidy look while offering effective complete house heating and cooling.

Carrier’s residential units feature inverter technology, ensuring outstanding energy efficiency. Their controller range is slightly limited but with innovative features.

Split Systems

Carrier’s split system range features 3 units; the Inverter Hi-Wall Split System – Aura Ultimate, Pearl Inverter Split System Air Conditioner A 2 and K Series Inverter Cool Only System - R410A. These units offer intelligent, allergy and environmentally friendly features.

An inbuilt step filtration process ensures filtering of dust particles and common household odours with a mould reducing, self-cleaning mode that removes moisture from the indoor unit. These units have sensors built into the remote controller to regulate room temperature based on the conditions around the remote. A specialist X-ECO mode brings the electrical frequency and fan speeds down, providing cost-effective and environmentally friendly comfort.

Controllers

Carrier’s controllers feature user friendly visual clues and simple instructions. To save energy from being wasted the unit controller can be locked at a certain temperature, avoiding it being turned to far up or down. Despite being a small range, most of Carrier’s controllers are compatible with different units.

To offer precise control micro settings can be used for the fans. Large buttons on some controllers provide accessibility for those with sight impairment. A Sleep Operating Mode helps users to save energy while maintaining comfort.
