The Carrier Infinity 96 is a precision-engineered gas furnace with IdealHumidity� to ensure a constant, comfortable temperature in the home. The Infinity 96 is Energy Star rated in all sizes, with an AFUE of up to 96.7%. This is a two-stage, 4-way multipoise model with a variable speed blower motor. It will operate in low stage up to 90% of the time to prevent temperature swings, save energy, and provide quieter performance. The design of the Carrier Infinity 96 Furnace is CSA certified. The Infinity 96 is part of Carrier’s Infinity Series furnace line.
Bought the furnace and less than a year out of warranty the ventor motor has died. Carrier would not stand behind the product. For a “so-called” premium product (at least one with a premium price), I would have expected better reliability and at least a customer service department that gave a damn. Parts are very expensive – better to stay away from carrier and buy a product from a manufacturer that is reliable.

Very Unsatisfied
Have Infinity hvac system installed brand new in one of my rentals and has had to be serviced at least 3 times a year. Average cost is around $400 for labor and they always have to wait for a part which is “covered” under warranty! Both ac & heat are a problem. Will be going with Trane or sears for other properties. CARRIER SUCKS!

We love our Carrier furnace (Infinity 96). The heat is always consistent. It is quiet and it heats our house very evenly. We’re moving now and planning on upgrading the furnace in the new place – I don’t think that we’ll choose any other brand.

I have been installing Carrier furnaces since 2000. I have lost count of how many 96% Infinity 58MVB / 58MVP furnaces we have installed and honestlty would not use anything else. As a contractor I can sleep at night knowing that our installations are up and in operation keeping our clients warm and coo, 24/7. For ownership, if I put them in, 88HVAC owns the responsibility of keeping the unit running. They are quiet, long lasting and trouble-free. My mom has one, her neighbor, and my cousins all have a 58MVB in their homes. Oh, by the way, Carrier are at the apex of their brand. Their other brands are good, but are not Carrier. I had two inducers fail on me, on board in the last 6 years. And Carrier replaced it immediately under warranty, no hassles.
Comments on HVAC-Talk message boards and heating contractor sites are mixed in opinion but generally favor the Carrier equipment:
In the HVAC-Talk forums some posters claim that Carrier’s air blowers and inducer motors are loud and rattling but do run consistently and provide good results.
Others in the HVAC-Talk forums state that Carrier requires a considerable amount of precision and maintenance to run, but the wiring is easy and consistent with industry standards, and repairs are very easy to conduct.
One author at the HVAC-Talk forums claimed that a Carrier’s inducer motor failed after 13 years and was easy to fix.
Another person, presumably a professional in the heating and cooling industry, insisted Carrier was one of the best brands on the market, in engineering, performance, and dependability.
