Cooling solutions offer energy savings, wellness

CCAC leads in developing a constantly growing array of innovative products.

As power prices in the Philippines continue to soar, homeowners are now on the lookout for ways to cut their energy consumption.

Aside from restricting their own usage of electricity, consumers have also started to hunt for appliances and other fixtures—such as lighting, refrigerators and airconditioners—that can promise energy savings despite being traditionally “energy guzzlers.”

The good news is that more companies are recognizing the rising demand for energy-saving appliances and among them, Concepcion-Carrier Air Conditioning Co., the country’s trusted name in air-conditioning, promises to offer just that.

A hit

According to company CEO Jojo Concepcion, the Carrier XPower Inverter has been a hit among many homes and light commercial establishments for the significant savings brought by its technology.

“Inverter technology allows for the compressor to perform just the right amount of work at any given time, resulting in total cool comfort with plenty of energy savings. The Carrier Xpower is the undisputed leader in this category as it gives 53 percent more savings compared to other inverters,” Concepcion explained.

Concepcion-Carrier’s other state-of-the-art commercial solutions also include the Carrier Evergreen 23XRV, the world’s first integrated variable-speed, water-cooled screw chiller which received a four-check mark rating from the Singapore Green Building Council for its energy efficiency; and the Toshiba-Carrier smms-i, known as the world’s biggest and most advanced variable refrigerant flow (VRF) solution for large buildings such as hotels, business process outsourcing (BPO) companies and convenience stores.

A big plus for Concepcion-Carrier’s air-conditioning solutions is that it offers far more than just energy efficiency, which, as it is, is already a big factor that could influence a consumer’s decision to buy.

Its Carrier Designer Series, i-Cool and Xpower models are equipped with state-of-the-art air filtering systems that can contribute to the health and wellness, as well as the quality of life of the homeowners.

“With our cooling solutions, we make it a point to go beyond just cooling people’s spaces. We want to give them an amazing experience, one that involves not just cool comfort, but their health and wellness as well, and that is our motivation behind these remarkable air conditioners,” Concepcion said.

Most acclaimed models

The Carrier Designer Series and Carrier i-Cool are two of the most acclaimed models in Carrier’s window room air-conditioner (WRAC) line, with their set of cooling and energy-saving features. But what puts these WRACs in a league of their own is the 8-in-1 air filter system that the company claims to be the best in its class. The filter can trap harmful fungi and dust particles, filter out smoke and odors, kill viruses and neutralize free radicals that can harm the skin.

The filter system includes a Catechin filter, which has deodorization and anti-bacterial properties; a special Vitamin C filter, which can neutralize free radicals and keep the skin healthy; an Anti-Mold filter that removes toxic molds and fungi; a Zeolite filter for removing smoke and odors; and a Super Sterilizer Filter that harnesses bio enzyme, sasa and super gingko to keep you safe from harmful viruses and bacteria.

Energy savings

The XPower model, aside from giving its users as much as 53 percent in energy savings, also boasts an advanced Filter System, which combines the latest Nano Silver filtration technology, and can breakdown harmful microbes.

“The air filters of the Carrier Designer Series, i-Cool and XPower are the most sophisticated in the market today, the result of many years of research and development from the world’s cooling pioneer,” Concepcion said.

“Carrier follows a long and rich legacy of innovation and expertise, and that legacy continues as we develop the world’s best cooling solutions. We are dedicated in giving our customers true comfort and wellness for years to come, and that’s exactly what these amazing cooling solutions will do,” he concluded.
