From heating to cooling to other air enhancing components, units produced by Trane or Carrier come together with quality materials and industry-leading technology. A bit of research into the benefits and features of each company enable consumers to make an informed and successful buying decision and complete the purchase with ease on eBay. Electric and hybrid gas-electric Single, two-state, fully modulating Coils, thermostats, air handlers, home automation systems Coils, boilers, thermostats, humidifiers One of the most respected brands in the home heating and air system arena since its introduction in 1913, Trane manufacturers an extensive lineup of stand alone 3-ton and 5-ton air conditioners and heat pumps..

The company also produces combination units that handle both heating and cooling needs in one contained product. In addition, the company provides consumers with a variety of furnaces,, as well as ductless and geothermal systems to appeal to the owners of a wide range of dwelling types. The gas and electric units produced by Trane have a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Rating) score of up to 20 for the most energy efficient models, a rating that demonstrates how well the unit heats or cools while maintaining a lower power pull and thus a lower monthly energy bill. In addition to standard heating and cooling combination units and standalone modules, Trane also produces replacement coils, programmable thermostats,, and remote home automation systems to appeal to a wide variety of consumers and provide them with the necessary tools to manage their home comfort more efficiently. Hard working and unwaveringly reliable since 1902, Carrier is a popular choice for both residential and commercial heating and cooling products.

In addition to multiple sizes of air conditioners and heating units rated up to 30,000 BTU, the company also offers combination heating and cooling heat pumps,, geothermal floor systems, and air handlers to provide comfort solutions for the entire single or multi-floor dwelling. The electric and electric-gas hybrid products produced by Carrier have a SEER rating of up to 21 for the most energy efficient models, a feature that has the potential to save the owner money over the life of the unit thanks to lower monthly heating and cooling bills. 5000 btu window air conditioner with heatIn addition to the main units, Carrier also produces a lineup of other products designed to keep a home operating at peak temperature and purity, including humidifiers, standard and programmablethermostats,, boilers, and replacement heating coils.samsung window ac dealers in chennai

Choosing a home heating and air system is a major undertaking and comparing two of the top brands on the market today, Trane and Carrier, aids savvy shoppers in making an informed and successful purchasing decision. Some of the main points of comparison between these two brands that aid in this decision include the types of products produced, overall price, and SEER rating, the standard measure of energy efficiency for this type of home comfort products.3.5 ton hvac price Both Trane and Carrier produce standalone air conditioning and heating units as well as combination heat pumps and extras such as air handlers, programmable thermostats, heating coils, geothermal systems, and ductless systems. This places the two brands on nearly equal footing in terms of product lineup versatility and allows consumers to base their decision on more than just the presence or absence of needed heating and cooling product choices under one brand umbrella.

In terms of overall price, a Carrier unit is generally more expensive than an Trane at the time of purchase, but the Carrier's slightly higher SEER rating of up to 21 results in a slightly lower monthly energy bill than the Trane's SEER rating of up to 20. On the other hand, if one has a home outfitted with gas for appliance use, Carrier does not offer a strictly gas heating or cooling system, producing a slight disadvantage as it double dips into both gas and electric power bills. When shopping for a Trane or Carrier home comfort system on eBay, it is important to decide on a product that is best for your home situation and then use targeted and specific keywords to find that product quickly and easily. For example, instead of typing a generic term such as "air conditioner" into the robust eBay search bar, a choice that returns tens of thousands of listings, try options such as "Trane XL95 gas furnace" or "Carrier hybrid heat pump" for the best results. This method returns a more condensed and specific pool of listings and once the perfect unit is chosen, your purchase ships straight to your door in a matter of days.

Watkins Heating & Cooling Blog The Cause of Freon Leaks What causes a/c evaporator coils to leak? We have found this to be the most common problem plaguing air conditioners. To explain this, we first need to bust a common air conditioner myth.

A Common A/C Myth Many homeowners believe that, over time, an air conditioner uses freon. Maybe a long, hot summer leaves a perfectly good air conditioner "winded" and low on freon. We just need to tune-up the a/c and top-up the freon, right? In reality, an air conditioner or heat pump has a sealed refrigerant system that should never "use up" or run out of freon. The freon or refrigerant is only the medium used to transfer heat from the inside of the home to the outside. The only resource that is expended is electricity. If the freon is not consumed in the process of cooling your home, then it must be lost only by a leak in the copper tubing. For many years, the air conditioning industry has used copper tubing to harness the pressure of refrigerant and bring comfort to the masses. Copper is soft and abundant, and easy to seal in the field with solder or brazing alloy. If copper is such a good material, why do we see so many freon leaks? Is this due to poor field connections, poor manufacturing, or is there a third possibility?

Trane Looks for the Root Cause A number of years ago, Trane began a study to determine the true cause of this constant threat to our comfort. As service technicians, we have noticed that leaks from field or factory connections cause problems in the first year and are fairly rare. The problem leaks that develop in a 4 - 7 year old air conditioner occur in the copper tubing wall not the connection points or braze joints. The source of these pre-teen leaks is what the Trane engineers set out to find in their study. Our technicians have noticed that certain brands of air conditioners develop leaks faster than others and that the newer, more efficient air conditioners are more prone to leaking than the old energy hogs. The reason for this seems fairly obvious to HVAC contractors. A/C manufacturers can raise the efficiency of their equipment by using thinner copper in their evaporator coils. Heat transfers faster through the thinner copper, but this efficient tubing also leaks sooner.

One could argue that the legislation that raised the minimum efficiency of air conditioners and heat pumps to 13 SEER resulted in thinner tubing walls, more evaporator coils leaks, and, as a result, more ozone-damaging freon released into the atmosphere. The Real Cause of Freon Leaks So we know that thinner tubing develops leaks sooner, but what is causing the freon leak in the first place? The leaky a/c coils that the Trane engineers studied had microscopic pin holes seemingly drilled throughout the coil tubing. Trane's in-home studies revealed that the culprit was formic acid. Formic acid was corroding the copper and drilling these tiny pin holes. The acid penetrates the thinner, high-efficiency tubing faster and is making some air conditioner brands look very bad. But where is the formic acid coming from? Isn't that what gives fire ants their sting? What is formic acid doing in our homes and on our air conditioner coils? Is Formaldehyde the Culprit? Formaldehyde in the home can convert into Formic acid on the a/c coil.

It is extremely mild, but over a period of 5 years, it will produce pinholes in copper tubing. We call this process formicary corrosion, and it is the main reason that we still buy R-22 by the skid. If you have researched indoor air quality, you'll know that formaldehyde is a major pollutant in our homes. An infamous case of severe formaldehyde in the living space was the FEMA trailer provided to Katrina victims. While less severe than a FEMA trailer, most homes have a measurable amount of formaldehyde in the indoor air, and this will always cause formicary corrosion and freon leaks. The Cure for A/C Freon Leaks Stop using copper to manufacture cooling coils. The photos above show copper and aluminum coil tube walls subjected to a formic acid corrosion test. Trane has found that aluminum is not susceptible to formicary corrosion. Through great feats of science and manufacturing genius, Trane began production of an all-aluminum air conditioning coil in 2005. Since then, we have installed many Trane all-aluminum coils, and we have yet to see a single leak in the tubing walls.
