Carrier took home the Gold in the HVAC High Efficiency Residential Equipment category for its Infinity® 26 Air Conditioner and Infinity® 24 Heat Pump with Greenspeed® Intelligence. The units are designed to provide heating and cooling for single-family homes. They are related items, but one is an air conditioner and one is a heat pump. Product development and design began in 2016.
The Infinity 26 and Infinity 24 offer a number of benefits for technicians. Bluetooth technology is available on the outdoor unit, so it is not necessary to go inside the home to access outdoor unit diagnostic information. The equipment is compatible with an updated service tech app that includes the fault history of the unit, system parameters, and interactive fault trees. Over-the-air software updates are available, and technicians can assess over 130 diagnostic points. Plus, the equipment features two-wire installation, is self-configuring, and is Infinity® Zoning System-capable. Installations can use up to 250 equivalent feet of refrigerant line length.
