Enjoy indoor weather designed for durable, lasting operation.  

Technology

1. Quiet, money-saving cooling is provided through our energy-efficient compressor. With built-in protection from potentially damaging high currents, temperatures or pressure, this compressor is guaranteed by a 10-year limited warranty.

2. Improved cooling and efficiency of the copper tube/aluminum fin coil is the result at excellent heat transfer. Corrosion-resistant construction ensures durability for years of 
custom made indoor weather.

3. Efficiency and comfort is improved by using our low-speed motor and large-diameter fan blades.

4. Attractive, durable cabinet includes the WeatherArmor III system for extra coil protection, long-lasting performance and outstanding reliability. Heavy-duty steel cabinet, ceramic-coated screws and our enhanced coil guard combine to help the 38TKB take the abuse of the great outdoors.

5. Corrosion-resistant connection to your system is provided with our solid brass service valves.

6. Better drainage of water and debris minimizes chances for corrosion, thanks to our new base pan design.

Durability

Designed to withstand the tests of time and extreme temperatures, the 38TKB offers long-lasting custom made indoor weather. Carrier performs the most rigorous testing in the indoor comfort industry. Our testing process begins during product development and continues through assembly line and in-field testing. In fact, we test the 38TKB at 125°. That's a full 10° higher than the industry standard requirements. This kind of extensive testing helps ensure that homeowners like you get the comfort and reliability you expect from the leaders in indoor weather technology.

Carrier's exclusive WeatherArmor™ III protection system further ensures the long-lasting durability of your comfort investment. Designed specifically to keep your air conditioner safe from corrosion and damage, the WeatherArmor III system offers three points of protection. First, the 38TKB is surrounded by a protective cabinet made of heavy, galvanized steel. Then, we assemble the cabinet with ceramic-coated screws for corrosion-resistance and long-lasting durability. Finally, we protect the outdoor coil with a heavy-duty wire guard that prevents coil damage caused by objects such as hail, rocks, sticks and other debris, as well as lawn equipment. Designed for top-quality performance, the 38TKB is built with durable components and protected by the exclusive WeatherArmor III system to ensure that you enjoy the cool comfort of custom made indoor weather summer after summer.

Efficiency & Savings

As summer heats up and the outdoor temperature's on the rise, the 38TKB can keep you comfortable without stretching your budget. Offering up to 11.5 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), the 38TKB central air conditioner offers considerable improvement over older, less efficient models. By replacing an older air conditioner which may have a rating of 8 SEER or lower with the 38TKB, you can decrease your electricity consumption by as much as 30 percent on indoor cooling. Combine the money-saving efficiency of the 38TKB with the reliable operation and long-lasting performance of Carrier products and you'll enjoy custom made indoor weather summer after summer.

Designed and manufactured by the leader in indoor weather technology, you can rely on the 38TKB central air conditioner for years of cooling comfort. At Carrier, we understand the value of consistent, reliable indoor weather equipment. That's why we build the 38TKB with the most durable, corrosion-resistant materials available. We designed the compressor with built-in protection from damaging high currents, temperatures or pressure. The copper tube/aluminum fin coil delivers excellent heat transfer and corrosion resistance. The solid brass service valves have leak-resistant connections for added durability. All of these features are designed, assembled and tested to ensure a product of superior reliability and performance.
