The Carrier Infinity 80 Gas Furnace Review

The Infinity 80 Gas Furnace, combined with Carrier’s intelligent Infinity System control offers a furnace that is extremely efficient with up to an 80% AFUE rating. This high efficiency heating pays off in the long run thorough giving you much lower energy bills and thereby huge savings.

Features and Benefits

  • The Communicating furnace with Infinity intelligence gives you ultimate control over comfort, performance and energy savings. It allows you to control temperature, fan speed, humidity, de-humidification, weekly comfort schedules and more. This intelligent system even monitors your operation and maintenance items in order to provide you with a reminder when the system needs to be serviced or the filter needs to be changed.
  • Energy efficiency – the 80% AFUE will reduce your energy costs whilst offering you the comfort of a variable-speed control so that your home is always at the perfect temperature.
  • Comfort Heat Technology smooths out the heating cycles so that your home always remains consistently comfortable for you, not matter how outside weather conditions change. This system accurately predicts the heating needs, which cuts out temperature swings, and because it does not operate at full power all of time the air drawn into your home remains more pure.
  • The Ideal Humidity System – allows you to control the humidity in your home even when your system is not actively heating or cooling, which enhances your comfort in both hot summer weather and freezing winter temperatures.
  • Carrier’s ComfortFan technology allows you to select the required fan speeds for your furnace for added moisture control.
  • The QuieTech noise reduction system ensures that you have the most comfortable temperature in your home without having to listen to a clanking and grinding that is so common on other furnaces, especially older systems – perfect temperature in perfect peace.
  • The Pilot-free PowerHeat ignition is an advanced lighting system which is far superior to the old pilot-light system in older furnaces. It allows you to light your furnace with no problems in order to quickly get the heat when you need it, and does not go out like the old pilot lights often used to.
  • A 10-year parts limited warranty when correctly registered and a 20-year heat exchanger limited warranty covers you for most eventualities, which means that you will never be without heating in your home.
