For year-round comfort and economical operation, Carrier's 38YSA heat pump is an excellent choice. Designed to improve your energy savings, the 38YSA is Carrier's most efficient single-speed heat pump. During the heating season, the 38YSA delivers up to 9.4 HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor), which is 1.0 to 1.5 points higher than most other high-efficiency, single-speed heat pumps. However, the comfort and savings don't stop there. When the summer months set in, you can look forward to cool comfort and electrical savings of up to 15.5 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), more than 5 full SEER points higher than basic heat pumps.

Designed to achieve higher efficiency ratings without sacrificing comfort, you can count on the 38YSA for quiet, consistent indoor weather season after season. In fact, designed with Carrier's Silencer System, the 38YSA is guaranteed to deliver soothing, quiet operation. The uniquely designed top reduces air turbulence in the unit to keep operational noise to a minimum. The compressor vibration isolator plate prevents noise from being transferred from the base pan into your living space and the efficient fan is designed to quietly deliver energy-saving comfort. With all of these design features, it would take up to eight 38YSA units, running at the same time, to equal the noise of just one standard heat pump.

The efficiency level of your cooling bill affects how much it will cost to keep your house cool and comfortable during those hot summer days. This chart can be used as an estimate of just how much money you can save by investing in a high efficiency system. If your old system was rated at 8 SEER, then by purchasing a 15 SEER system, you should be able to reduce the cost to cool your home by almost 50%. This can add up to a significant savings over the lifetime of the product.

From solid, time-tested components like the scroll compressor, the energy-efficient fan and the WeatherArmor™ III protection system, each element of the 38YSA is designed for long-lasting durability. WeatherArmor™ III is a three-part system that includes a scratch-resistant cabinet, corrosion-resistant screws and our enhanced coil guard. First, we build a protective cabinet made of heavy gauge, galvanized steel with baked-on powder paint. Then we assemble the cabinet with ceramic-coated screws for corrosion resistance and long-lasting durability. And finally, we surround the outdoor coil with an enhanced heavy-duty wire guard that protects your heat pump from hail, high winds, sporting equipment and potentially-damaging lawn equipment. By protecting the components of your heat pump from external damage, the WeatherArmor™ III protection system ensures that you and your family enjoy custom made indoor weather year after year.
