Genuine Carlyle® and Totaline® Compressors Bring Peace of Mind
When it comes to choosing a compressor, HVAC/R technicians face a lot of choices. Rebuilt compressors are both cheap and readily available, but the smart tech knows that for just a few dollars more they can have the quality, reliability and UL-certification of a Totaline® remanufactured compressor. And when only the best will do, genuine Carlyle® is the obvious choice. Both these compressors assure both performance and reliability, and offer sound options when looking for a compressor replacement.
To begin with, it's important to differentiate between a rebuilt and a remanufactured compressor. Rebuilt compressors can be pieced together anywhere, by anyone, in unregulated environments. Generally speaking, rebuilding entails restoring equipment to pre-breakdown performance, but not beyond it. Very minimal repairs are made to the rebuilt item, and they're often given a quick coat of paint to make them look “good as new”. Unfortunately, though, that’s not always the case.
When you choose a genuine Carlyle or Totaline remanufactured compressor, you can be confident that you made the smart choice - for both you and your customer. “The difference between a remanufactured and rebuilt compressor is noticeable, even from the customer’s end,” Compressor Product Manager Bob Mann said. “You can often hear the difference between the quiet hum of a remanufactured compressor and the clink or clang of a rebuilt one.”
Both genuine Carlyle and Totaline compressors are completely remanufactured – never rebuilt or repaired and repainted like others. “These compressors are remanufactured, not rebuilt,” explained Mann. “Every part that goes into these compressors is UL-certified, covered under warranty, and built by the same people who manufacture new Carlyle compressors.”
Why is UL certification so important? “Often, rebuilt compressors combine UL-certified parts with non-UL certified parts, which will void the UL-certified rating for the entire compressor,” Mann explained. “When you choose a Carlyle or Totaline remanufactured compressor, the risk of fire, electric shock, and hazards have been minimized – a guarantee you don't have when you use a compressor that has been rebuilt in an unregulated environment,” he added.
Genuine Carlyle and Totaline remanufactured compressors undergo a rigorous process to ensure that they are of optimum quality. First, the compressors are torn down to the smallest component parts. Then, they are compared to strict engineering standards at Carlyle's Stone Mountain, Ga. facility.
As a result of this uncompromising process, the compressors are restored to good-as-new quality and performance. As an added benefit, the remanufactured compressors also receive UL approval, which means they have been built to comply with internationally recognized safety standards.
So pieced together or peace of mind? The choice is clear. For great value, efficiency, and equipment that meets stringent UL standards, choose a genuine Carlyle or Totaline remanufactured compressor. You'll find these compressors, as well as a full line of compressor replacement accessories, when you visit your local Totaline sales center.
And as an added bonus, when you choose Totaline or genuine Carlyle you'll also be eligible to receive FREE STUFF!
