Heat pumps are central air conditioners that can also heat your whole home. Paired with indoor electric backup heat, they now offer energy-use options and extra heating options—we call this two-stage heating and cooling technology.
Two-Stage heat pumps and air conditioners like that found in Carrier® Infinity™ Series can provide two distinct levels of heating or cooling.
The unit operates in low-stage up to 80% of the time, producing more consistent temperatures and enhanced air circulation, while using less energy.
During more extreme weather conditions, high-stage compressor operation delivers a boost of additional heating or cooling.
