**"Get Your Fix" Part 3 of 10: Carrier® 38APS/38APD**
Back to our list of top ten commercial OEM condenser coils that have had recurring issues over the past decade. Coming in at number three is the Carrier® 38APS/38APD series.
These units, introduced by Carrier around 2012 as part of their Gemini® Select line, were marketed with a new microchannel heat exchanger design called Novation®. The idea was to offer a more cost-effective and environmentally friendly option using R-410A refrigerant. While this may seem like a win for customers at first, many have found themselves dealing with long-term problems such as frequent leaks, damage from foreign debris, and costly repairs.
So why did Carrier go with microchannel coils? The main reason is cost efficiency—both in manufacturing and in the amount of refrigerant used. But at what price? While environmental benefits are important, they shouldn’t come at the expense of reliability and performance. That’s where the real issue lies.
It’s time to **#ChangeTheChannel**.
Our experience with the Carrier 38APS/38APD led us to develop a solution: **microchannel conversions**. Through our **#ChangeTheChannel** program, we offer customers the option to replace all-aluminum fin coils with more durable copper tube, aluminum fin coils. This upgrade improves unit reliability, simplifies maintenance, and maintains the same level of efficiency as the original OEM design.
We can manufacture custom copper tube coils that fit your system with minimal re-piping. These coils require about 20–30% more refrigerant and need to be charged via sub-cooling, but they eliminate the constant leak issues and unreliable repairs that come with microchannel designs.
Available sizes include dual and single refrigeration circuits for smaller units (025–065), and only dual circuits for larger models (070–130).
