As the technological leader of the indoor weather industry, Carrier understands what it takes to keep you comfortable. Listening to the needs of homeowners enables us to help find solutions to their indoor weather needs. Our exclusive WeatherShield series of air conditioners and heat pumps is just one example of how Carrier uses technology to create products to fit the precise needs of homeowners.

Based on the Carrier WeatherMate series, the 38CKS air conditioner and the 38YCS heat pump deliver affordable, energy efficient comfort. Both units offer up to 11.5 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and the 38YCS heat pump delivers up to 7.5 HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor). With the added corrosion-resistant features of WeatherShield protection, these affordable, efficient units are the perfect choice for homeowners in coastal areas.

Carrier's WeatherShield units are designed and built specifically for use in the harsh, corrosive environment of coastal areas. In other words, they are tougher than your average heat pump or air conditioner. That's the result of more than twenty years of research studying the effects of coastal conditions on home comfort products. During that time, we have been able to determine the very best combination of components to significantly improve performance under adverse coastal conditions. WeatherShield is the culmination of these efforts, providing a tough, affordable unit that performs well beyond typical standard models to deliver enhanced indoor weather for years to come.

Carrier's coastal products provide another example of leading technology from the company that invented the concept of air conditioning. These durable WeatherShield products provide advanced durability backed by a limited warranty covering the major components, including the outdoor coil. No other product out there today can offer the same extensive number of features that benefit you year after year with continuous heating and cooling comfort.

Proven to last up to three times longer than standard air conditioners and heat pumps, Carrier's WeatherShield units are the perfect choice for homeowners living in coastal areas. Carrier's reputation for reliability is one that has been established and maintained for nearly one hundred years. From the first phases of development to the finished product, Carrier's extensive testing ensures that each WeatherShield unit meets our strict requirements for performance and durability. Quite simply, our name has lasted because we build products like the WeatherShield air conditioner and heat pump that deliver custom made indoor weather that lasts.

Rigorous testing by Carrier engineers has shown the WeatherShield coil to last three times longer than a standard coil in harsh coastal conditions. This improved performance is due to features such as the heavy-duty fin design that resists trapping salt water and the added protection of ArmorPlate coating.
