Very nice AC/Heater

"I bought this unit for a 12' by 22' room which is used as a lounge and office. It has a little higher cooling BTU than required for that size room, but it is the lowest cooling BTU in a unit (that fit the opening in the wall) that also functioned as a heater. I ordered the matching sleeve and that made installation fairly easy. The installation instructions assume you've done this kind of job before, but it wasn't too hard to figure it out. The unit incorporates some nice features such as auto fan and digital temperature setting. It does maintain the room temperature according to what you set. It's only downside is the air stream can only be directed in one direction, but in my size room it's not a big deal. Works really well as a heater. It is pure resistance heat, so it's not terribly efficient. But, again for the room size it's not a big money user. Did buy the aluminum exterior grill and it is much nicer that the kinda flimsy one supplied with the sleeve. Would buy again. [...]"

A very good machine that comes through

"This machine is in an addition to the house that could not have HVAC. We replaced a 19 year old through the wall unit with this one, and it has been perfect thus far. Once the wall sleeve was put in (not very easy but ok), it was simply a matter of sliding in the unit, adding the foam insulation, and turning it on. The remote works great, and the auto fan and temp settings are very helpful. A powerful machine that when coupled with a ceiling fan to just help circulate the air does wonders quickly."

Quality you can afford

"I bought this Carrier unit to replace an older unit. I use it to heat and cool a 16 X 18 foot family room addition. I set it at 69 degrees on low and it is amazing at how well it warms the room. It turns itself off when the room reaches the desired temperature so I don't have to listen to the fan running all the time. Even with the fan running, the unit is much quieter than the last unit. I also love the remote control feature.

If this unit cools in the summer as well as it heats in the winter, I'll be a very satisfied customer. I haven't received an electric bill since the installation, but this unit is one of only a few units with the energy star rating, so I'm hoping it's economical too."

Great Unit

"I bought this unit to cool down our garage, we use the garage for grooming our two bichons. Living in Az. it gets pretty hot(so far this summer,117 deg/low of 92). It took no time at all to cool down the room, and will hold the temp at a comfortable 78. Have not got a full months elect bill, it's be installed for about 3 weeks, so we will wait and see. Remote is a must and the digital read out is large and bright. For such a large unit it is quite. Have not had any bad or not so good, and I am not expecting any."
