| Woot. New AC Units So, we had a brand new 16 SEER Carrier HVAC unit installed and another on the way taking us from a single old unit to 2 new ones.
I'm looking at the old unit (see image) which is also a Carrier and I can't find the SEER.
The model is a 38CK060320 but I am turning up bupkis on Google.
I just wanted to know how old it is and what the seer is so I can get excited about future savings.
We have had a few 700 dollar electric bills before switching from 15cents per KWh to 9.1 Cents.
Any help is appreciated.
Have a nice weekend.

kudos:6 | I don't know about the SEER, but that AC was manufactured week 21 of 1992 (20 years old) based on the serial number. |

I posted in HVAC Talk and got this which is almost identical to your post. Much appreciated.

Awesome thanks. So 10~10.5 seer.
Since I had all my 1975 duct work redone this might just kick some ass.

Probably not the exact model since mine is a tall boy and the one in the PDF looks more stalky like our new unit.
But I bet it's close.

Of the people I know who have gotten various "energy efficient" products, they do cost less to run. But, those costs are well overrun by the shorter lifespan/higher frequency of repair of the newer stuff :-(
Now, I don't wish to rain on your parade-you have a nice addition there. You don't have much of an option when installing new. I do hope you realize savings with your new setup. |

| We're still in a transitional phase and they still haven't brewed the right potion when it comes to refrigerants. Performance and reliability issue will be the norm (thank God  ) for a while. On a good note, the hole in the ozone has shrunk :P |

I agree, but maybe someday we'll wake up and go back to plain old boring ammonia. Sure, you can't use it in copper, and I know it's poisonous when concentrated, but hey, methane is explosive and we still pipe that in to millions of homes.
