You’ll feel
cooler at higher temperatures in
the summer and warmer at lower
temperatures in the winter.
Inverter-driven variable-speed operation offers five
different stages and the intelligence to make the right
choice for optimum energy efficiency and comfort. You’ll
enjoy energy-efficient operation with up to 11.0 HSPF
heating and up to 18.0 SEER cooling performance.
Energy-Efficient Operation
Standard systems mindlessly blast heated or cooled air
at one speed before shutting off, which can lead to
widel
y fluctuating temperatures. Properly matched with
a Carrier
®
Infinity
®
gas furnace or fan coil and an Infinity
Touch Control, the Infinity 18VS heat pump with its
variable-speed rotary compressor effortlessly switches
stages as needed to keep the comfort flowing with
fewer on-off cycles.
Extra-Consistent Comfort
The Infinity
®
18VS heat pump is extra compact thanks
to our microtube coil technology combined wi
th the
efficiency advantages of the rotary compressor and
new fan motor driven by a new inverter control.
Space-Saving Design
Extra-Quiet Operation
When installed as part of a complete Infinity
®
system,
the Infinity control board in the heat pump itself,
combines with the intuitive Infinity Touch Control to put
maximum comfort at your fingertips. You control
comfort schedules, heating, cooling, humidificat
ion,
dehumidification, fan speeds and more, all from one
easy-to-use control on the wall in your home.

Innovation and the
Environment
Over 100 years ago, a humble but
determined engineer solved one of
mankind’s most elusive challenges by
controlling the indoor environment. A
leading engineer of his
day, Dr. Willis Carrier would
file more than 80 patents
over the course of his
career. His genius would
enable incredible advancements in
health care, manufacturing processes,
food preservation, art and historical
con
servation, indoor comfort and
much more.
Carrier’s foresight changed the world
forever and paved the way for over a
century of once-impossible innovations.
Yet in addition to being an accomplished
inventor, he was also an avid outdoors-
man. Carrier recognized the power and
beauty of the natural environment. This
appreciation of our world and its
resources continues to guide Carrier
Corporation today. We wil
l never rest on
our accomplishments, but instead
consistently look for ways to improve our
products, our environment and our world.
The Infinity
®
18VS heat pump with
variable-speed technology embodies that
sentiment, delivering big performance
from the smallest ducted heat pump on
the market with a variable-speed
compressor.* Offering exceptional year-
round energy efficiency and comfort, it’s
one of the s
martest choices you can
make for your home.

It’s About
Your Comfort
†
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
and humidification in the heating season.
Carrier gives you ultimate command
of comfort, performance and energy
efficiency when you include an
Infinity Touch Control, an
Infinity variable-speed
furnace or fan coil and
Carrier indoor air quality products to
create a complete Infinity system.
This system provides unprecedented
control of not only temperature, but
also humidity, dehumidification, fan
speed, weekly comfort
schedules and more. This
smart s
ystem can even
monitor operation and
maintenance items and provide
service reminders such as when it’s
time to change the filter.
The Infinity
®
18VS heat pump operates within a sound
range between 55 and 73 dBA in heating mode and as
low as 55 dBA in cooling mode. Our proprietary Silencer
System II features a silencer top, compact ECM fan
motor, forward-swept fan blade, compressor vibration
isolator plate, sound hood and split-post compressor
grommets to help deliver quiet operation by maximizing
airflow and minimizing vibration.
