Comfort Heat™ technology,
the ultimate in
heating comfort . . .
The Carrier Infinity 96 with
ComfortHeat technology achieves
the optimum combination of comfort
and efficency.
The Infinity 96 achieves industry-
leading ultra-high efficiency at up to
96.6 percent Annual Fuel
Utilization Efficiency (AFUE).
Efficient performance is enhanced
through the variable-speed
design. To maintain ideal comfort,
ComfortHeat technology automati-
cally adjusts the heating level, maxi-
mizing the use of low heating levels
that produce near silent furnace opera-
tion while meeting the exact heating
needs. This unit is designed to keep the
indoor temperature within 1 degree of
the thermostat setpoint. Because it op-
erates in low heat most of the time, the
Infinity 96 uses up to 80% less power
than single-capacity furnaces.
In addition to providing ultimate com-
fort, the Infinity 96 has a sealed com-
bustion system. This system brings
combustion air from outdoors to the
furnace and vents flue gases safely
outside the home. Because it is sealed,
operational noise is minimal. A sealed
combustion system also means fewer
cold drafts and less air infiltration.
Quality materials are the key behind the
Infinity 96’s outstanding performance.
Carrier stands behind quality. We offer
lifetime warranty protection* on the
heat exchangers, the heart of the
Infinity 96. The rest of the unit is
backed by a limited 5-year warranty.
The Infinity 96 is available in 6
heat/airflow combinations. The unit
has a 4-way multipoise design and can
