Some homes’ exterior present challenges to installing a full-size condensing unit, and that’s where units like the Bryant Compact Preferred Series Model 538A come in very handy.  It is perfect for deck or rooftop installation and can be set as close as 6 inches to the exterior wall.  James in Royal Oak, Michigan sent in this Bryant Compact Preferred Series Model 538A 15 SEER central air conditioner price along with a few details that are helpful.

“We live in a very old neighborhood here with postage-stamp sized lots.  Space is truly at a minimum.  Plus, we spend as much time as possible out in the backyard gardening, relaxing or playing ball with the grandkids.  That’s why we decided to go with a compact rooftop central air conditioner.  I learned about these units from a friend who uses them at several duplexes and quad homes that he owns and rents.  We looked at models and central air conditioner prices from Carrier and Bryant – which are essentially the same – and chose the Bryant Compact Preferred 538A.  Here’s what it offers:

• Up to 15 SEER – Energy Star rated and tax credit eligible with a qualifying system.
• Efficient scroll compressor.
• Puron refrigerant.
• Pressure switches to protect the compressor.
• Uses the Evolution control with onboard diagnostics and fault codes.
• Flow-through air design works with a smaller fan.
• Quieter operation – as low as 66 db.
• DuraGuard Plus system protects internal components.
• Steel fan guard.
• Heavy-gauge galvanized cabinet is powder-coated for looks and durability.
• Models available from 1.5 to 5.0 ton capacity.
• 10-year limited warranty on all parts.

The cost of the Bryant Compact Preferred Series Model 538A wasn’t much higher than a standard unit, though installation was more costly:

Bryant Compact Preferred 538A, $1,259.  Installation: $2,150; Total: $3,409

The system is very quiet – we hardly hear it even when we are sitting on the deck or working in the yard.  It works like a champ too.  The house is very comfortable, even in the hottest, most humid weather.  We think it is a great unit and we are glad to recommend it.

Ensure Longevity with Quality Installation

That’s a great unit that James chose – and it should deliver outstanding performance long after the warranty has expired.  If you want to get the most from the unit you install, choose a qualified contractor to do the work.  They have the skill, the expertise and the training to do it correctly.  Plus, you’ll have the assurance that the warranty will be honored if any issues arise, and you’ll have an established relationship with a professional when questions or the need for maintenance or repairs arise.  In the long-run you’ll get the best durability and energy efficiency when your system is installed by a qualified professional, so search for the right contractor as diligently as you pursue the best HVAC prices.
