This company is a leader in the industry in making energy efficient, environmentally sound products. Here's an overview of your Carrier HVAC options:

Carrier Infinity Series: Many HVAC professionals and consumers believe this is the top HVAC line in the industry. Efficiency levels are very high, especially with the introduction of the Carrier Greenspeed technology that uses modulating heating and cooling. Modulating compressors in air conditioners and heat pumps along with modulating gas valves reduce waste while produce temperatures that are extremely balanced. All gas furnaces have variable-speed fans. Warranties are very good throughout the entire Carrier product lineup.

Carrier Performance Series: This second-tier line of equipment is better than some brands top line. Most models except for 80% gas furnaces are Energy Star qualified. Two-stage heating and cooling is the norm. Many furnaces have variable-speed blowers.

Carrier Comfort Series: There's a mix here of Energy Star qualified models and those that fall short of that rating. All the heat pumps and air conditioners are Energy Star rated. Single-stage and two-stage models, some with variable-speed blowers are a part of this series. It compares to the Lennox Elite, American Standard Gold, Bryant Preferred, Rheem Classic and similar series.

Carrier Base Series: You won't find this line in every product group. Where it is offered, the models tend to be lower priced with a slight drop-off in quality.

Reasons to Buy Carrier HVAC Equipment

Carrier's top lines like the Infinity and Performance Series are popular with homeowners who are willing to pay more for superior performance and durability. The quality is outstanding, even if prices are somewhat elevated simply due to the Carrier name. The longer you plan to stay in your current home, the more it makes sense to invest in quality equipment from the top lines from Carrier.

No matter which system you choose, have it installed by a qualified contractor with a proven history of excellence and customer service. When your component or complete system is properly installed, you'll get better efficiency, durability and climate control from it.

Carrier Warranty on Internet Purchases

NOTE: Most HVAC companies do not provide warranties for equipment bought online. They're concern is not having any control over the installation. We mentioned above how vital expert installation is, and that importance is reflected in the position of Carrier and most other HVAC brands.
