Carrier Heat Pump

[phinsperger]

Would anyone happen to have the specs on a Carrier heat pump model 38SQ940300 from May 1984?

Looking for output, COP or HSPF

Hmmm you may have to contact Carrier for those numbers. I would guess the seer for that unit at 8 SEER. That unit is well past the average life of a heat pump. I would say to budget for a new 13 seer unit.

Oh that unit is 40 thousand btus

Interesting James. Is that number from the 38SQ940300 model number? I'm not familiar with Carrier's heat pump numbering scheme.

[JLilly]

Yep the 40 is 40Kbtus. That was the old scheme. The new one is what you would expect. 12K per ton. 36=3 42=3.5 I don't know why they did that in the 80s.
