Carrier WeatherMaster High-Efficiency Rooftop Unit 48HC

Carrier WeatherMaster High-Efficiency Rooftop Unit 48HC

Efficient Cooling and Heating

The Carrier WeatherMaster High-Efficiency Rooftop Unit 48HC is designed to provide efficient cooling and heating. With a high-efficiency scroll compressor and a single-stage control, the unit can save energy and reduce operating costs. It also has a high-efficiency condenser coil that enhances its cooling performance, ensuring that your space is comfortable and well-conditioned.

Easy to Install and Maintain

Installing and maintaining the Carrier WeatherMaster High-Efficiency Rooftop Unit 48HC is easy, thanks to its features. The gauge plug, centralized control center, plug & play accessory board, “no-strip screw” collars, and handled access panels make it easy to install and maintain. You can easily access the unit’s components for repair or maintenance without any hassle.

Environmentally Friendly and Factory Tested

The Carrier WeatherMaster High-Efficiency Rooftop Unit 48HC uses Puron® (R-410A) refrigerant, an environmentally sound alternative to traditional refrigerants that contribute to ozone depletion. The unit is pre-wired and pre-charged with this refrigerant at the factory, reducing installation time and effort. Furthermore, the unit is factory tested in both heating and cooling modes to ensure its performance and reliability.
