Carrier Greenspeed System

On our blog and at ACS Heating and Air Conditioning, we don’t focus and talk a lot about one brand vs another. We use several brands of equipment in our business and frankly, different brands work best in different applications.
That being said, when something completely new hits the market, it’s hard not to focus on that particular manufacturer. That is the case with Carrier and their new Greenspeed Technology. This is not just a modification of an existing product, it is a whole new class of heating and cooling system.
For years Carrier has had their Infinity system on the market. Infinity is a high efficiency, variable speed system that works well in any home. Their zoning system, which allows multiple thermostats on a single unit, is the best on the market, in my opinion. I have a 3 zone Infinity system in my home and a 6 zone Infinity system in our office building.
But just being on top has never been Carrier’s way of going to market. They are continually raising the bar in the residential market (particularly with their control systems like the Infinity). They have done it again with their new Greenspeed heat pump and furnace.
We recently installed our first Greenspeed system. I knew it was going to be nice, but I had no idea how nice it would be. It is, without a doubt, the quietest and most intuitive system I have ever seen running.
The Greenspeed system uses the Carrier Infinity Controller as the heart of the system. The controller looks at the indoor temperature and humidity, outside temperature and the historical run times of the unit to determine exactly how the system needs to respond to your home. The system is then capable of running to match the EXACT needs of your home. If you have a 3 ton system and only need 2 tons, then 2 tons is what you get. It will do this in heating as well as a heat pump or as a duel fuel system with a gas furnace for backup that will also only give you only the Btus of heat that your home needs.
Not only will it meet the exact requirements of your home, but it does it at an efficiency level that is second to none. The SEER ratings on the heat pump are over 20 and the efficiency of the matching gas furnace is up to 97%.
My hat goes off to Carrier for bringing a truly ingenious system to the marketplace. Read more about it on their press release from early in 2011 here or check out all of the current marketing information and some informative videos here. As always, please give us a call if want to know more. I would love the chance to talk to you about this incredible product.
