Here are the key moments from the video "Carrier AC Series Comparison: Infinity vs Performance vs Comfort": [00:26] - Series Overview: Introduction to Carrier's three main lines: Infinity (premium), Performance (mid-range), and Comfort (budget-friendly), covering both central and ductless systems. [01:14] - The Infinity Series (The "Cadillac"): Efficiency: Top-tier efficiency with central units up to 24 SEER2 and ductless up to 42 SEER. Technology: Features a variable speed compressor (cruise control) that modulates between 25-100% capacity for precise cooling and huge energy savings. Smart Features: Pairs with the Infinity System Control for full Wi-Fi integration, zoning, and "Greenspeed intelligence" that adapts to occupancy. Noise: "Whisper quiet" operation (outdoor units ~55 dB) due to sound blankets and variable speeds. [06:07] - The Performance Series (The "Sweet Spot"): Efficiency: Solid ratings with central units up to 17 SEER2. Technology: Features a two-stage compressor (low/high speeds) for better humidity control and comfort than single-stage units. Flexibility: Ductless models offer versatile options like multi-zone setups, ceiling cassettes, and floor consoles. Compatibility: Works with standard or smart thermostats (like Nest/Ecobee), unlike the proprietary Infinity controls. [11:03] - The Comfort Series (The "Workhorse"): Efficiency: Moderate efficiency for central units (up to 16 SEER2) but surprisingly high efficiency for ductless models (up to 22.2 SEER2). Technology: Central units use a simple single-stage compressor (100% on or off), which is reliable but may cause temperature swings. Noise: Louder than the other series (around 72-73 dB), comparable to a vacuum in the next room. Value: The best choice for budget-conscious buyers, rental properties, or starter homes where upfront cost is the main driver. https://proelectricva.com/services/ai...
