| Things to consider before you buy 1. Efficiency
Consider the equipment's fuel efficiency. Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency or AFUE is like gas mileage. The higher the gas mileage or AFUE rating, the more efficient the automobile or system is. While an ordinary furnace will consume 625 watts of electricity during heating operation, the Infinity 96 uses less than an 80-watt light bulb.
As the world’s most energy efficient furnace, the Infinity 96 has a rating of up to 96.6 AFUE, helping to reduce your utility costs by up to 36% over the year. Actual savings will depend on the efficiency of your current system compared to the efficiency of a new system. As an ENERGY STAR® partner, Carrier Corporation has determined that the Infinity 96 gas furnace meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. |
2. Comfort Most Ordinary furnaces warm your home with full-speed hot-air blasts followed by idle periods, causing the tempurature to drop befoer the next heating cycle.Carrier’s exclusive ComfortHeat Technology is a smart technology, accurately predicting the need for heating while cutting temperature swings in half. ComfortHeat Technology provides a nearly continuous flow of warmth in low-capacity operation for a steadier, more consistent indoor temperature. Our patented technology monitors previous heating cycles and adjusts the low- and highcapacity operation based on your home’s heating needs.When temperatures outside start to dip, maintain your indoor comfort with ComfortHeat Technology. 3. Sound Carrier furnaces are designed for quiet operation, keeping sound levels down to a whisper. The variable-speed fan allows this system to operate in the lowest possible setting for 90% of the heating season. Not only does this feature help to minimize sound, it also helps you save on your utility bills. And for what little sound a Carrier system does make, a sealed combustion system and insulated cabinet help to further isolate sound levels at its source. In fact, it takes almost 24 Infinity 96 furnaces operating at the same time to equal the sound produced by one standard 80% AFUE furnace. At Carrier, we believe home comfort shouldn’t be at your ears’ expense. |
