Carrier introduced the world to modern-day air conditioning and continues to explore newer and better systems for indoor comfort. The 48JZ packaged dual fuel heat pump is one more example of why we have maintained our position at the forefront of this industry. This packaged system delivers the warm, winter comfort of gas heating; the efficiency of an electric heat pump for both cooling and mild weather heating; and, the superior reliability, environmentally sound performance and future savings associated with Puron refrigerant.

The 48JZ combines the electric cooling and heating of a heat pump with the comfort of a gas furnace for harsher conditions. Heat pump systems are excellent for energy-efficient, year-round comfort, but typically rely on an electric auxiliary heat source when the outdoor temperature gets really cold. By using the heat pump as the heating source for cool weather and switching to the gas furnace as the temperature drops, a dual fuel system can take advantage of the efficiencies offered by each system. Just select the desired indoor temperature on our special dual fuel thermostat, and the system automatically switches to the most effective and efficient source for indoor comfort. For even greater comfort, energy savings and quieter operation, ask your dealer about upgrading to our variable speed, ComfortHeatTM option with a ThermidistatTM Control.


The 48JZ offers environmentally sound operation that's economically sound as well. Delivering cool comfort with efficiency ratings of 12 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and electric heating up to 7.2 HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor), the 48JZ easily provides better economy than older heat pump models and many new ones as well. Probably the single most important factor in that economy is the scroll compressor which is designed specifically for use with Puron refrigerant. During the colder months when gas heating takes over, Carrier's 48JZ operates at up to 81.1% AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). The Turbo-TubularTM heat exchanger helps achieve that heating efficiency by allowing hot gases to make multiple passes across the path of the indoor air.




In 1996, Carrier became the first to offer residential cooling systems with environmentally sound Puron®. We were also the first to offer packaged comfort systems with the industry-accepted replacement for Freon-22. The 48JZ is the latest addition to our growing family of highly reliable Puron products, so you can be confident that it will provide comfort you can depend on. No other manufacturer can offer the same level of expertise with environmentally sound heating and cooling products.

Built-in reliability safeguards include high and low pressure switches, which protect the smooth operating compressor from damage associated with operating outside of normal pressure ranges. A filter drier helps rid the heat pump system of moisture and debris, which can affect performance. Finally, Carrier runs the most thorough reliability testing in the industry that begins with product design and continues with assembly line testing of the completed products.


Built to withstand the extremes of an outdoor installation, the 48JZ provides lasting indoor comfort. The rugged, rust-proof base is made from a Carrier exclusive, high-tech composite material. It's an extra-durable foundation that helps eliminate rust-related deterioration of the unit and the surface it is installed on. This is especially important for rooftop installations. Inside the cabinet, corrosion-resistant components made of materials such as copper and aluminum provide additional durability for years of heating and cooling comfort.

We pay attention to the details so you can pay attention to the comfort. Air discharge through the top of the unit protects surrounding flowers and shrubs on a ground installation. A sloped drain integrated into the base assures proper drainage and better indoor air quality by minimizing the growth of algae, bacteria and mold. And, built-in mountings accommodate both rooftop and ground installations for maximum versatility. Energy efficient, environmentally sound and highly reliable, the 48JZ dual fuel heat pump is an excellent choice for all the right reasons.

Carrier's 48JZ packaged dual fuel heat pump uses environmentally sound Puron refrigerant to deliver soothing comfort all year long. In response to the global concern surrounding ozone depletion caused by HCFCs, the Clean Air Act of 1990 declared that refrigerants containing HCFCs must be phased out of use and replaced by another, safer refrigerant. One of the refrigerants scheduled for eventual phase-out, Freon®-22*, is the most commonly used refrigerant in most of today's air conditioners and heat pumps. Puron is the indoor comfort industry's universally accepted replacement for Freon-22, and Carrier has been at the forefront of designing, testing and installing heating and cooling equipment that uses this environmentally sound refrigerant.

* Freon is a registered trademark of E. I. Dupont de Nemours & Co.


Not only is Puron refrigerant environmentally sound, it also helps the 48JZ deliver indoor comfort with money-saving efficiency. The same formulation that makes Puron environmentally sound also produces superior heat transfer capabilities, easily surpasses the performance of older packaged heat pumps and many new models as well.

Installing the 48JZ with Puron refrigerant today can help you avoid the potentially skyrocketing costs for servicing a unit that uses Freon-22. It's a fact that Freon-22 will become obsolete. Ask anybody associated with the auto industry what happened when Freon-12 was phased out and they will tell you that the cost of servicing cars using that refrigerant rose exponentially. That same scenario could easily happen with Freon-22 in heat pump systems. By choosing the 48JZ with Puron refrigerant, you'll enjoy savings right away with efficient operation while avoiding potentially higher service costs in the future.




Since 1902, Carrier has been America's established leader in creating indoor weather systems of superior value, reliability and comfort. Today, Carrier's scientists, engineers, and dealers continue to provide the most advanced indoor weather systems available. This technological advantage has enabled Carrier to design, install and maintain customized indoor weather systems to fit the precise needs of individuals just like you. Ask your Carrier dealer how you can customize your comfort with a Carrier system today.

Always look for these symbols, the heat pump industry seals of certified performance, efficiency and capacity.
