Carrier model number cross reference?

[adamt56]

Does anyone know where I can find a listing of carrier model numbers or know how they break down?

Specifically, I am trying to find out information about:

24ABB336A310

I cannot find it anywhere on their site.

Thanks!

It is a 13 SEER 410a PURON a/c with 5 years parts on it

Base/builder grade. 13 SEER, R-410A. No high or low pressure switches, no coil guard (both good to have for protection). 5-year warranty on all parts.

The 24ACB336A300 has high and low pressure switches and louvered coil guard standard. 10-year warranty on compressor, 5 years on all other parts.

3 ton, correct?

Why, ya gunna change it out with a gooman or coleman?:eek::D

[adamt56]

It is already installed (8 months old).

It has been having some problems getting the temperature in the house down to where we like it (73-74 during the day) and seems to run very long cycles at night.

I just wanted to make sure we got what we paid for . . .

You probably want to have the installing company back out to look at it. Could have charge problems, or something else preventing you from cooling effectively. Was the old unit a 3 ton that it replaced? They can come out and take measurements and perform checks. Should be under labor warranty with >1 year old.

It replaced a 2.5 ton which was undersized.

One room which has three large windows facing West heats up pretty good during the day. I am in the process of coating those windows with window film so, hopefully, that helps . . .

[RyanHughes]

How do you know the 2.5 ton unit was undersized? It could have been inadequate ductwork from the beginning causing poor cooling. And increasing the tonnage therefore didn't help.

[adamt56]

You could be right about the duct work -

I just listened to what the 3 companies said that came out to give estimates.

3 ton seems about right though with 1450 sq foot living area, 1954 home w/ no insulation in the walls, single pane windows and one room with a flat roof (no insulation).

Yes, the charge was a bit low. He said when when it was installed, it might have been cooler out (now is is 90 degrees during the day) and they didn't get it quite perfect. So added a bit of coolant. Temperature is now 20 degrees less coming out of the vent then the temperature at the air return :)

Couple other things:

I need to fill the hole in the wall underneath the thermostat with caulk to keep the hot air in the walls from tripping out our thermostat (this I knew).

There is a slight leak in the duct in the garage where the air-handler is located letting cool air out. They are coming back to get that patched up with mastic. One other thing . . . This is a 1954 house so we have an attic fan. The opening is only 6 inches away from the air return in the hallway and is likely pulling air down out of the attic and back into the system. So, we are going to patch that up since we don't really use it anyways.

I'm blabbing - I'll stop.

Your right . . . No charge for the service call.
