Carrier Debuts the Next Generation in HVAC Solutions at AHR Expo, Showcasing Efficiency, Smart Technology, and Comfort

Carrier is redefining home comfort with the debut of a new home comfort system with four innovative HVAC solutions at the AHR Expo, Feb. 2–4 in Las Vegas, booth C1202. Driven by accelerating electrification, rising efficiency standards, and the growing demand for connected home systems, Carrier is unveiling a next‑generation residential HVAC platform engineered for the future. Designed to deliver superior energy efficiency, advanced connectivity, and streamlined installation, the new lineup empowers homeowners and contractors with smarter, more reliable performance and an intuitive experience. Carrier is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions. 

Carrier’s latest system launch includes a redesigned air handler, a high-efficiency variable-speed heat pump, and two new smart thermostats, all engineered to meet rigorous standards such as SEER2, HSPF2, and ENERGY STAR®. Built for electrification and sustainability and with contractors in mind, the units feature adaptive controls, over-the-air updates, and InteliSense™ remote diagnostics, helping provide worry-free operation for homeowners and streamlined service for professionals. 

The next-gen Performance™ Series Air Handler introduces a compact, installer-friendly design that is 20% shorter and about 50 pounds lighter than previous models, making it ideal for tight spaces. Its 25-speed operation and mixed-flow fan help maintain even temperatures while aiming to reduce energy use. InteliSense™ technology enables remote monitoring and advanced troubleshooting, while maintenance is simplified with a standard 1-inch filter, LED status display, and sight glass. Built‑in Near Field Communication (NFC) allows technicians to set up and service the unit with a simple tap of their phone using the Carrier Service Tech app. Installers can also save their preferred configuration settings and instantly reuse them across multiple units, making multi‑housing or multi‑unit setups faster and more consistent. 

The new Performance™ Series Variable Speed Heat Pump delivers up to 19.0 SEER2 cooling and 10.0 HSPF2 heating for year-round efficiency. Operating as quietly as 57 dBA, it’s built for extreme conditions with heating down to –10°F and cooling up to 125°F. When paired with a compatible Carrier Smart Thermostat, our patent-pending ComfortAdjust™ and InteliSense™ technology provide adaptive performance, remote diagnostics, and secure software updates. 

Carrier is also introducing a new line of smart thermostats featuring InteliSense™ technology. The premium Carrier Smart Thermostat Advanced offers a bright touchscreen, guided setup, and seamless smart home integration, while the enhanced Carrier Smart Thermostat delivers simplicity and affordability with remote control, smart scheduling, and broad compatibility. With the introduction of the Performance Series Variable Speed Heat Pump, both models unlock ComfortAdjust, a new feature that fine‑tunes energy use and elevates overall comfort.

Our experts will be on-site to demonstrate how this next-generation system delivers unmatched efficiency, smart connectivity, and improved home comfort.
