Yes there is another valid reason for the switch to aluminum (in addition
to planned obsolence) and it's called Formicary Corrosion. You can get the
FACTS by reading the industry research report containing scientific
studies and analysis going into the details of aluminum versus copper.
These are details you won't get from your air conditioning company.
Here's the link :

While I found the link interesting, how do you expect us to continue a
discussion when you mess up a lot of good arguments with FACTS?


The facts here would seem to be that the document he just provided
is exactly opposite to what he's claiming. He stated that Carrier
allegedly switched to copper coils from aluminum so that they would
fail faster. Yet the document says Carrier is using aluminum coils
because they are corrosion resistant and superior. I don't see them
saying they went back to copper..... So, I don't see what all the
fuss is about.
