Carrier Infinity® System
 
 — When 
the Infinity 96 variable-speed gas 
furnace is matched with the Infinity 
Control and an air conditioner or heat 
pump, you will experience the ulitmate 
in ComfortHeat and Ideal Humidity 
through unparalleled control of 
temperature, humidity, indoor air 
quality, and zoning. The Carrier Infinity 
System also provides unprecedented 
ease of use through on-screen, text-
based service reminders and equipment 
malfunction alerts.
For even greater comfort and 
convenience, match the Infinity 96 
furnance with an Infinity air 
conditioner or heat pump. This will 
create a fully communicating system, 
requiring only 4 thermostat wires 
between system components, and 
troubleshooting can even be done from 
the outdoor unit without entering the 
home.
Optional remote access through 
telephone or Internet is also available 
when combined with a remote 
connectivity kit.
 
Infinity 96 FEATURES/
BENEFITS
 
ComfortHeat
 
 — On the coldest days 
of the year, the Infinity 96 Furnace has 
the capacity to heat your home. On 
moderate days when less heat is 
required, this furnace will regulate 
itself to a lower capacity —
providing a comfortable home and 
minimizing operating costs.
The patented algoritum adjusts the 
low-heat operating time to match the 
indoor conditions.
 
IdealHumidty
 
 — The IdealHumidity 
system actively controls both 
temperature and humidity in your home 
to provide the best comfort all year 
long. Other systems depend on heating 
or cooling to manage the moisture in the 
air. But, IdealHumidity gives you the 
right amount of humidity day and night, 
even in mild weather. 
 
No other 
manufacturer can do this! 
 
IdealHumidity saves energy, too. By 
keeping humidity under control, you 
can set your thermostat to stay 
comfortable and save energy—
 
up to 
20% off your cooling costs!
 
 
 
Media Filter Cabinet
 
 — Enhanced 
indoor air quality in your home is made 
easier with our media filter cabinet—a 
standard accessory on all deluxe 
furnaces. When installed as a part of 
your system, this cabinet allows for 
easy and convenient addition of a 
Carrier high-efficiency air filter.
 
Insulated Blower Compartment
 
 — 
The acoustical insulation reduces air 
and motor noise for quiet operation.
 
Certifications
 
 — The Infinity 96, 
Model 58MVP units are A.G.A. and 
C.G.A. design certified for use with 
natural and propane gases. The furnace 
is factory-shipped for use with natural 
gas. An C.S.A. (A.G.A. and C.G.A.) 
listed gas conversion kit is required to 
convert furnace for use with propane 
gas. The efficiency is GAMA 
efficiency rating certified. The Infinity 
96 meets California Air Quality 
Management District emission 
requirements. 
 
Quality Registration
 
 — The Infinity 
96 is engineered and manufactured 
under an ISO 9001 registered quality 
system.
 
Venting
 
 — The combustion-air and 
vent pipes can terminate through a side 
wall or through the roof when used 
with a factory-authorized vent 
termination kit.
 
Blower Access Panel Switch
 
 —
Automatically shuts off 115-v power 
to furnace whenever blower access 
panel is opened.
 
Reliable Heat Exchanger Design
 
 — 
The primary heat exchanger is made of 
aluminized steel for corrosion resistance.
The patented Serpentuff
 
TM
 
 condensing 
heat exchanger cells are laminated 
with polypropylene for greater 
resistance to corrosion and epoxy 
coated externally to prevent oxidation. 
This break-through in heating 
technology helps extend the life of the 
furnace for years of dependable 
performance. The heat exchanger is 
positioned in the furnace to extract 
additional heat.
 
Warranty
 
 — The Infinity 96 heat
exchangers come with a Limited
Warranty for lifetime of original
owner in single family residence; 
20 years in other residential and 
commercial applications. Five-year 
limited warranty on entire unit. 
Contact your dealer for details.
 
Electronic Variable-Speed Motors 
 
 
—ECM
 
 
 
Motors (Electronically 
Commutated Motor) provide variable-
speed operation to optimize comfort 
levels in the home year round. They 
are also more economical to operate 
than standard motors.
 
Comfort Heat Control Center
 
 — 
The microprocessor control center
features state-of-the-art combustion, 
temperature, and airflow control to 
maximize comfort while operating at 
peak efficiency.
Combustion control is obtained by 
taking the appropriate inducer motor 
RPM readings when the low- and high-
fire pressure switches are made. Using 
this information, the microprocessor 
maintains a consistent air-to-fuel ratio 
independent of vent sizing and 
conditions.
The first cycle after power reset
provides 16 minutes of low heat 
before switching to high heat unless 
the room thermostat has been satisfied.
Subsequent thermostat cycles provide 
anywhere from 0 to 16 minutes of low 
heat depending on the length of the 
previous thermostat cycle.
Airflow control is accomplished by 
using a technique involving the 
microprocessor and blower motor. The 
static load on the air delivery system is 
measured each heating cycle. The 
microprocessor then uses this 
information to deliver correct airflow 
independent of variations in system 
restrictions. (For example, dirty filter or 
zone damper changes during a cycle.)
A special dehumidification function 
allows direct input from a thermidistat 
or humidistat. This input adjusts 
system airflow for greater humidity 
removal and increased cooling comfort 
during summer months.
 
Insulation
 
 — Foil-faced insulation in 
heat exchanger section of the casing 
minimizes heat loss.
 
Direct Vent Sealed Combustion
System
 
 — Infinity 96 uses 100 percent 
outdoor air, which results in especially 
quiet operation. Direct venting 
minimizes the possibility of using 
contaminated air and also reduces air 
infiltration draftiness in the home.
 
Monoport Burners
 
 — The burners 
are finely tuned for smooth, quiet 
combustion and economical operation.
 
Bottom Closure
 
 — Factory-installed 
for side return; easily removable for 
bottom return.
 
ComfortFan™
 
 — Improves comfort 
all year long by allowing you to select 
the continuous fan speed right at the 
thermostat.
 
SmartEvap™
 
 — Allows your system 
to reduce summertime humidity levels 
by nearly 10% over standard systems.
