Willis Carrier's innovation and leadership helped his company develop the first "modern" air conditioner. This company was at the forefront of the indoor comfort industry from the very beginning and continues in that tradition with products like the 50JZ packaged heat pump. One of the first packaged heat pumps to offer the advantages of Puron refrigerant, the 50JZ also delivers high energy efficiency and reliability. That means you can help preserve the ozone layer while saving money and keeping comfortable, season after season.

Many heating and cooling manufacturers are beginning to offer environmentally sound comfort, but the 50JZ is part of an expanded family of Puron-based products. Carrier was the first in the industry to offer environmentally sound comfort. In fact, we've been installing residential cooling systems with Puron refrigerant since 1996. Our experience with these products is second to none, and the feedback from our customers has been tremendous. Because of its higher efficiency heat transfer, Puron naturally lends itself to higher efficiency performance. And, the Puron products have become the most reliable in our entire offering of indoor weather equipment.

The 50JZ helps preserve the ozone layer, too, with extra-efficient operation in both heating and cooling modes. Offering exceptional efficiency ratings of 12 SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) cooling and up to 7.2 HSPF (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) heating, the 50JZ easily delivers better economy than older models and many new ones as well. Probably the single most important factor in that economy is the scroll compressor designed specifically for use with Puron refrigerant. Our copper tube, aluminum fin coil contributes to your savings by encouraging high efficiency heat transfer and lasting, corrosion-free durability.

Getting comfortable is easier when you know your heat pump offers the reliability to deliver indoor weather for years to come. High and low pressure switches protect the smooth operating scroll compressor from damage associated with operating outside of normal pressure ranges. Our corrosion resistant coil stands up to the elements for years of dependable and efficient heat transfer. System dependability is also enhanced with the help of our filter drier, which removes moisture and debris that could otherwise affect performance. Finally, Carrier runs the most thorough reliability testing in the industry starting with product design and following through with assembly line testing of the completed products.

The 50JZ offers the durability needed to withstand the extremes of outdoor weather. Carrier’s rugged and rust-proof base pan, made from a high-tech composite material, provides an extra-durable foundation. The base pan helps eliminate the opportunity for rust-related deterioration of the heat pump and the surface it is installed on. This is an especially important consideration for rooftop installations. Additional corrosion resistance and lasting durability are found in our copper tube/aluminum fin coil and the attractive outer cabinet.

Carrier has maintained its industry leadership by paying close attention to details. To protect nearby shrubs or plants on a ground level installation, the 50JZ sends discharge air away through the top of the unit. A sloped drain integrated into our base pan design eliminates debris and standing water for improved indoor air quality. Installation stability in both rooftop and ground level applications is a function of our specially designed, built-in mountings. Regardless of how it is installed, the 50JZ is your answer for environmentally sound, energy efficient and reliable indoor weather from the original indoor weather makers: Carrier.

Carrier's 50JZ packaged 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 refrigerant 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.

Not only is Puron refrigerant environmentally sound, it also helps the 50JZ deliver indoor comfort with money-saving efficiency. The same formulation that makes Puron refrigerant environmentally sound also produces superior heat transfer capabilities, a vital part of the 50JZ heating and cooling system. In fact, the 50JZ offers energy efficiency that easily surpasses the performance of older packaged heat pumps and many new models as well.

Installing the 50JZ 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 costs of servicing cars using that refrigerant rose exponentially. That same scenario could easily happen with Freon®-22 in heat pump systems. By choosing the 50JZ with Puron refrigerant, you'll enjoy savings right away with efficient operation while avoiding potentially higher service costs in the future.

Carrier has been on the leading edge of indoor weather technology since Willis Carrier discovered air conditioning in 1902. Today, Carrier's scientists, engineers, and dealers continue working to provide homeowners with 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 individual homeowners.
