Overview of Indoor Comfort Products

Our mechanical and electronic air cleaners will remove the vast majority of the microscopic pollutants that settle on your furniture, your heating and cooling system, and — worst of all — your lungs. You'll see the benefits everywhere from better system performance to improved health.

Humidifiers can help you fight the problems of dry air in the winter months. If you want to cut down on static electricity, dry skin and cracking furniture — and feel warmer — a humidifier's the perfect answer.

Ventilator

Today's energy-efficient homes can help you save money on your monthly utility bills. But while they keep heat in, they can also seal in stale, recirculated air.

For the healthiest living environment, your home's stale indoor air should be exchanged for fresh outdoor air at least five times per day. Every time you let stale air out and fresh air in , though, you let expensive heat or cooled air escape, too.

A ventilating system solves the problem by bringing fresh air into tightly constructed homes without wasting precious energy.

Heat recovery ventilators recapture heat energy lost from indoor air during the winter months; energy recovery ventilators recapture both heat and cooling energy year-round.

Zoning Controls

The ideal heating and cooling system is one you can control to fit your lifestyle. Carrier's thermostats and zoning systems give you both flexibility and control over the performance of your system.

Thermostats help your heating and cooling system maintain the optimal temperature setting with the utmost energy efficiency. Today's models allow you to program your home temperatures to suit your lifestyle and schedule.

Zoning systems allow you to put heating and cooling where you need it most, enhancing your comfort and reducing your energy costs by as much as 30%.

Furnace or Boiler

Here's some information you can warm up to. Carrier's furnaces and boilers provide comfortable, even heat throughout your home and offer efficiency ratings that keep your energy bills at a comfortable level, too.

Carrier's gas furnaces are available in efficiencies from 78% to 96.6% AFUE, and several models offer variable-speed and variable-capacity operation, for even greater efficiency and comfort.

You'll also find oil-fired furnaces and gas-fired steam and water boilers — whatever you need to fit the system in your home, your comfort requirements and your budget.

Air Conditioner
or Heat Pump

Split System Diagram Here are the cold facts on some pretty cool stuff. Carrier's central air conditioners work with your furnace to provide cool, dry air throughout your home.

Central air conditioners are split systems, which means they have both an outdoor unit (condenser) and an indoor unit (coil). Your dealer will match these two parts in terms of capacity and efficiency so your system performs properly.

Carrier offers a wide range of air conditioners, with efficiency ratings from 10.0 to 17.0 SEER and additional comfort features, such as two-speed operation. Our outdoor condensing units have low sound ratings, weather-sealed fan motors, a baked-on powder paint finish for durable good looks, and limited warranties of one year for parts and up to 10 years for compressors.

If you want one system for all seasons, the electric heat pump is your answer. It uses a very small amount of energy to transfer heat back and forth between the inside and outside of your home. The same system shuttles warmth indoors during the chill of winter and delivers plenty of cooling when summer sizzles.

Carrier offers heat pumps with efficiency ratings from 10 to 16 SEER (cooling) and 6.8 to 9.1 HSPF (heating).

Your dealer can match your outdoor (condensing) unit with the appropriate indoor (fan coil) unit to make sure the two parts of your system work together as a team to provide top performance and comfort.
