Carrier Performance Series Model 24APA7 Central Air Conditioner Rating

 

Carrier makes a good/better/best product lineup and the Performance Series 24APA7 central air conditioner is part of the “better” line.  You’ll save money with this model compared to the top Infinity line, and only the choosiest homeowners will notice much difference in indoor comfort. Match this 2-stage AC with a variable-speed blower for top performance.

This is also a very efficient AC, at 18 SEER.  Where temperatures are very warm and humid, this is a cost-effective choice for controlling electric bills from spring into fall.  However, if you live where summers are milder, a less efficient air conditioner – one that costs significantly less—might make better financial sense.  Our Carrier Performance Series Model 24APA7 central air conditioner rating review covers all the key areas you’ll want to know about as you compare this model with others on your list.

Operating Cost Efficiency Rating (4/5)

This Energy Star air conditioner delivers 18 SEER performance which is outstanding – if you need it.  Those in warm climates, or anyone concerned about limiting greenhouse gas emissions, will be interested in the Carrier Performance 24APA7 AC.  When you replace an older air conditioner with this one, expect to see a 35% to 55% drop in your cooling bills.

Feature Rating (4/5)

This AC does not have the Carrier Infinity communicating controls.  Apart from that, it has all the features you’d expect in a quality, reliable central air conditioner.  Here’s an overview of the Carrier Performance 24APA7 features:

• 2-stage scroll compressor offers better temperature and humidity management.
• Uses Puron (R-410A) refrigerant which is chlorine-free and won’t damage the ozone layer.
• Supports Edge and Comfort 2-stage thermostats, as well as the Infinity controller.
• WeatherArmor cabinet and top protect the components from weather and yard hazards.
• Silencer System II keeps noise to 69 decibels on low-stage cooling.
• Available in 2, 3, 4, and 5 ton models.

Reliability Rating (4/5)

Carrier is one of the most reliable brands in the industry according to consumer HVAC ratings.  This model, when maintained properly, should run reliably well beyond its warranty. You can expect 15-20 years of service without a lot of major repairs.

Manufacturer's Warranty Rating (3/5)

Carrier offers a warranty on the Performance 24APA7 central air conditioner that is average for the industry.  It comes with a 10-year parts limited warranty that covers the compressor and all additional parts.

Overall Rating (4/5)

If you are in the market for a very efficient central air conditioner as well as one that offers excellent indoor comfort throughout the cooling season, take a close look at the Carrier Performance Series Model 24APA7 AC.  It offers years of home comfort, durability and lower energy bills.
