The Carrier
®
Infinity
®
16 heat pump represents years of design, development
and testing with one goal in mind – making you more comfortable. We
have taken the lead in creating new technologies that deliver the comfort
and efficiency you deserve while staying ahead of industry trends and
global initiatives.
All year long, humidity affects the
temperature at which you feel most
comfortable. That’s why
Carrier
®
Ideal Humidity
System
®
technology
plays such an
important role in your
comfort. When you add the
Infinity
®
control, Carrier humidifier
and Infinity furnace or fan coil to the
Infinity 16 heat pump, Ideal Humidity
System technology gives you
enhanced control over humidity
levels for greater comfort
even when your system
isn’t calling for heating or
cooling.

You’ll feel cooler at
higher temperatures in the summer

Innovation and the
Environment
Standard systems can mindlessly blast heated or cooled
air at one speed before shutting off, which can lead to
widely fluctuating temperatures. The Infinity
®
16 heat
pump with two-stage scroll compressor, when properly
matched with a Carrier
®
compatible indoor unit, runs on
low-stage up to 80% of the time to maintain consistent
comfort. Two-stage operation also contributes to reduced
energy usage, helping achieve up to 16.0 SEER cooling
efficiency and up to 9.5 HSPF heating efficiency.
Extra-Consistent Comfort
Carrier led the industry by incorporating non-ozone-
depleting Puron
®
refrigerant into heat pumps back in
1996. Millions of Puron refrigerant units in operation today
are a testament to the reliability, durability and enduring
quality of these products.
Environmentally Sound Refrigerant
By combining the intuitive Infinity
®
control with the Infinity
control board in the heat pump itself, Carrier puts
enhanced comfort at your fingertips. When installed as
part of a complete Infinity system, you control temperature
schedules, heating, cooling, humidification,
dehumidification, fan speeds and more, all from one
easy-to-use control on the wall in your home. This system
monitors heat pump functions, makes adjustments to
maximize performance and provides maintenance
reminders on the Infinity control.
Enhanced Comfort and Peace of Mind
The Infinity
®
16 heat pump quietly cools your home with
sound levels as low as 68 dBA. Our exclusive Silencer
System II™ technology features a silencer top, integrated
fan motor, forward-swept fan blades, compressor vibration
isolator plate, sound hood and split-post compressor
grommets to help deliver quiet operation by maximizing
airflow and minimizing vibration.

Uncompromising
Quality
You don’t lead an industry for more
than 100 years by accident. Carrier
has maintained its position and
reputation through diligent,
uncompromising quality control at
every stage of a product’s life – from
concept to completion. Proven to last
longer than standard heat pump
coils, Infinity
®
16 heat pump coils
with ArmorPlate™ coating are the
perfect choice for homeowners living
in coastal areas. Once our product is
installed at your home, you can be
confident that durable construction
and built-in reliability features ensure
your comfort for years to come.
• Dual paint coverage: Coverage on
all exposed sheet metal delivers
additional protection against
harsh coastal conditions. The
Carrier
®
dual paint system applies
a special protective coating on both
the front and back of the metal
cabinet to shield it from rust, both
inside and out.
• Built-in reliability: Forward-swept
fan blades enhance performance
and maximize sound reduction.
Smart electronics that monitor
system operation and a
compressor-protecting filter drier
help keep critical components
operating at their best.
• Durability: WeatherArmor Ultra™
protection shields the outdoor
unit from hail, errant soccer balls,
lawn equipment and other hazards.
Our combination of a galvanized
steel cabinet, louvered coil guard
and baked-on powder paint
provides superior rust protection.

Ideal Humidity System technology continually monitors indoor humidity, indoor temperature and outdoor
temperature, and has the ability to turn on your comfort system just for dehumidification in the cooling season
or humidification in the heating season.
The Carrier
®
HYBRID HEAT
®
dual fuel
system delivers peace of mind to
homeowners concerned
about the unpredictable
nature of utility costs.
This system pairs a gas furnace
with an electric heat pump and
compatible thermostat to provide
comfort, economy and flexibility. Your
Carrier HYBRID HEAT dual fuel
system will automatically
switch between electric
and gas heating as needed
to keep your home comfortable all
winter long while optimizing the
efficiencies of each fuel source.
The Carrier exclusive Comfort
®
heat pump system features
two stages of heating –
high and low. The heat
pump, when properly
matched with a compatible indoor
unit and compatible thermostat,
operates on low-stage up to 80%
of the time, resulting in more
even, consistent temperature,
greater air circulation and
improved air quality.
