Puron® refrigerant is environmentally sound
and won’t deplete the ozone layer. Carrier
introduced Puron® refrigerant a full six
years ahead of the competition,
paving the way for the future.
The Clean Air Act of 1990
prohibits the production of
HCFC-based air conditioners
and heat pumps by 2010, and bans
Freon®–22* production by 2020. As Freon®
production reduces, its cost is predicted to
increase. Freon®–12 in the automotive
industry increased by a whopping 800% in
a short seven years! Ensure your cooling
costs by investing in systems with
Puron® refrigerant — the environmentally
sound, efficient and
dependable refrigerant
designed for the future. Carrier's
Infinity™ 18 air conditioner with
Puron® refrigerant and two-speed
technology delivers excellent efficiency,
reliability and proven performance.

As an ENERGY STAR®
partner, Carrier Corporation
has determined that
Performance™ Series heat
pumps with system
combinations that achieve
13.0 SEER and 8.0 HSPF or
higher meet the ENERGY
STAR® guidelines for energy
efficiency.
