Carrier 38ARS GEMINI Air Conditioner Overview

Carrier manufactures the 10-ton 38ARS Gemini for commercial cooling. This single circuit, split-system condensing unit offers up to 10.3 EER and a maximum cooling capacity of 125,000 BTU/H. The 38ARS can be installed in ground or rooftop applications in horizontal or vertical configurations.

This series features a semi-hermetic compressor and copper tubes with aluminum fins for efficient cooling and an insulated compressor to keep noise levels as low as 83 decibels. Carrier also promotes these models for their “rugged dependability,” due in part to galvanized steel cabinets that protect interior components from environmental hazards.

Factory-installed options include low ambient controls, a non-fused disconnect switch, a convenience outlet for servicing and the manufacturer’s Enviro-Shield coil protection. Accessories, such as a hail guard or programmable thermostat, also are available.

"Don't buy Carrier – all marketing"

Very Unsatisfied

Had to replace my Carrier system that was only 7 years old, had twice yearly maintenance done and still only got 7 years from both the furnace and a/C. Furnace blower quit and the airhandler leaked. a/c system was load and had several issues with the electrical components on the unit over the years. Eventually the compressor oil leaked into the refrigerant. What a pain and expensive system.
