Carrier Furnace OptionsWhen most people hear Carrier, they think of air-conditioning, and they should, seeing that Carrier is credited with inventing the world's first mechanical air conditioner. Today, they are leaders in not only air conditioning, but also heating systems and refrigeration systems. Next time you are in your local super market, check the tag on the produce coolers! Carrier is based in Farmington, Connecticut, and a proud American company with branches throughout the world. In 1999, Carrier developed their ComfortHeat system, which was a major development in creating a more efficient furnace. The idea behind the design is one that deserves a little research, most furnaces are rated by how efficiently they burn Natural Gas to create heat, but they also need electricity to distribute this heat throughout your home, and this electricity need is overlooked in the AFUE rating. Upon further comparison, the operating costs can sway significantly from their AFUE ratings! The ComforHeat is designed to minimize the need for electricity also! |
