Carrier leads air conditioning market

Central air saves on energy bills

Why sweat it out another summer when Carrier Hawaii can provide your home with a central air conditioning system that will keep you comfortable all year long?

Most people think of Carrier as a commercial air conditioning company when, in fact, it also is the largest residential air conditioning maker in the state.

"Carrier is the only company that makes the widest breadth of air conditioning products and systems, from the simple room air conditioner, the duct-free split systems, the zoned-ducted split systems and commercial package and splits, right on up to the largest centrifugal chillers used in large office buildings and hotels," Carrier Hawaii President John Arizumi says. "No other manufacturer offers this range of products."

Another myth Arizumi would like to dispel is that central air conditioning is too costly for the average residence.

"Central air is more desirable than window units for a number of reasons," he explains. "To begin with, there are no ugly units sticking out of your walls. With central air, you can control different temperatures for each room from one central unit, and there's only one central filter to maintain. Also, you can make quick, easy diagnostic detections from the exterior of the home."

"When you reach the point where you need four or five window units to cool your home, it's definitely cheaper to have central air. Oxygen monitors in a central air system can save on energy bills by 30 to 40 percent."

Carrier Hawaii offers a full line of direct-digital building and home automation controls to optimize efficiency and operating cost. In addition, the company offers a full line of indoor air quality products for the cleanest environment possible, from mechanical filters, electronic filters and UV-C lamps for microbial control, to AgIon coating systems for airside equipment interior to prevent fungicidal growth on surfaces.

"We also have three Carrier Totaline Parts Stores that offer a full line of products, parts and accessories to service and maintain your system," Arizumi points out. Carrier Hawaii has factory-trained engineers (three with over 25 years average with Carrier) to provide the best system application for its customers' needs, whether it's a home, a small building or a large institutional facility.

"We're the only local distributor to offer annual factory training courses right here in Hawaii to the local industry," Arizumi adds. "In fact, more technicians in the state are factory trained by Carrier than by any other manufacturer."

Carrier Hawaii, an independently-owned distributor for Carrier Air Conditioning, is the largest air conditioning distributor in the state, says Arizumi, who started as a sales engineer when the distributor was American Equipment Company in 1975. The company now has three locations: Waipio-Gentry, Honolulu in Kakaako and in Kona on the Big Island.

Willis Carrier invented air conditioning in 1902. Over 100 years later, Carrier continues to be on the forefront of leading-edge technology with advanced features such as Puron® refrigerant, ComfortHeat™ technology, IdealHumidity™ and Infinity™ systems.

Carrier has one of the most extensive product testing facilities in the world, which has resulted in one of the lowest failure rates in the industry. It also maintains one of the industry's toughest reliability testing standards to ensure that every product will provide trusted indoor comfort performance for years.

"Call Carrier Hawaii for all your air conditioning needs," Arizumi offers. "We can recommend a Carrier dealer to suit your application. Remember, Carrier is the world's largest air conditioning manufacturer. If you didn't notice the comfort, it must be Carrier."
