That high pitched sound the inverter makes on these variable Infinity A/Cs can be a deal breaker if it's close to your deck or whatever

[@albertairinc.1140]

Condensers can make several different pitches when operating depending on the speed its running at. People hear the sound in different ways. The pitch or noise it makes can be modified with airflow adjustments and refrigerant charge in terms of pressure changes due to temperature.

[@yes-wn4rq]

Great video; I have only installed one of those so far. The installation of the condenser looks clean and nice; well done. But the inside unit could have used the same love from the outside unit. 🙃

[@fijiman88]

Thank you for the comment.

[@Stevonoles1]

Nice install ,but why would you put a trap on a positive flow system?

[@sergiodoordie319]

Great work i would like to know how did u wire the outdoor unit, also how many wire did you use i bet its more than 2 wires like in a regular 1 speed unites

[@fijiman88]

All of the Carrier Infinity variable speed AC condensers (24VAN9 and 24VNA6) only require a 2 wire outdoor connection.

[@ryanscho9207]

why not leave 12" of clearance away from the wall like the code recommends? Crazy to spend that much money on a system and then restrict the air flow by putting it right against the wall

[@albertairinc.1140]

The code is what the manufacturer specs recommend, which is 6 inches in this situation. The unit will perform at 100% capacity with this configuration. So, it is not necessary to put it 12 inches off of the wall and take up more space then needed. Also, we considered the customers walkway and adjasent pool house for clearance.

[@ScottSellsSoCal]

This is better than a Trane communicating 20i?

[@abnergarcia6252]

We recently got a remodel job that has 10 of these units. All heat pumps. All of them have a “muffler” on the suction line and 3 of them are leaking refrigerant. Is the refrigerant muffler necessary or can you do without it?

[@fijiman88]

Are you referring the filter dryer? If so, then yes it is necessary.

[@abnergarcia6252]

@@fijiman88 no, is installed on the suction line. But is not one of those you install after a burnout for temporary use. This one does not have ports. But it’s called refrigerant muffler. Is on the first page of the 25VNA manual. Is supposed to be field installed. I’m assuming it comes in the box when you buy a new 25VNA condenser.

[@fijiman88]

@@abnergarcia6252 That is an add on accesory that is meant to reduce noise vibration in the refrigerant lines. We typically do not use them.

[@ernesthiggs7677]

Can you use a hard start with a Carrier variable speed air condition? Thanks

[@albertairinc.1140]

We have never used one on a Carrier variable speed condenser. The inverter board is what controls the start up of the system and what speed it starts on.

[@rvbtx1]

Is the unit sitting on a plywood platform not sealed in a unconditioned storage room?

[@albertairinc.1140]

The furnace is sitting on a wood platform that is sealed inside with ductboard in a finished utility room.

[@WORLDBOSS00]

Why was that system placed so close to the wall, the outdoor unit should have been atleast 1 feet away from the wall.. minimum..

[@albertairinc.1140]

The condenser is 6 inches off of the wall with several feet to the left, right and front of the unit which meets the Carreir manufacturer specifications for this units clearance requirements. You can refer to the Carrier quick start and installation guide for model #24VNA6 to see the clearance requirements.

[@carlbass4449]

Who cares about specs.. I have to work on it and see what I am doing.. get it 15 inches away from wall .

[@rayl6599]

Does anyone have an ARHI certificate number for any model in this series? Couldn't find any in the AHRI directory searching by model number. Am about to purchase a 25VNA4 but wondering if it's worth inquiring about / stepping up to the 25VNA6.

[@albertairinc.1140]

@@albertairinc.1140 The 25VNA4 combination I am looking at is 25VNA436A003 + FE4ANB003L00, so I would guess it's the same but starting with 25VNA6 instead.

[@bobdowler985]

The 25VNA4 is a heat pump and that is the highest efficiency they have for a heat pump. The 24VNA6 is the air conditioner and it is up to 26 seer.

[@rayl6599]

@@bobdowler985 ah thanks. I just assumed by the similar model number that it is the next version in the line. Anyway, my 25vna4 was installed 2 wks ago and working well!

[@CMA1967]

Minute 1:10 I read only the 3 ton will work at 25% capacity not the 4 & 5 ton

[@albertairinc.1140]

That is correct. The 3 ton will go down to 25% capacity on the lowest speed, where as the 4 and 5 ton go down to 34% capacity on the lowest speed. It will also depend on the advanced settings when you set up the system configuration in the Carrier Infinity thermostat. You can adjust those levels to your liking.

[@pridemechanical815]

I thought 25c tax credit was up to 30% of the job cost capped at $2k for high efficiency air cooled heat pumps.

[@albertairinc.1140]

There is a tax credit for both heat pumps and air conditioning condensers. AC condensers get up to $600 for any efficieincy over 16+SEER2. Heat pumps get a tax credit of up to $1,200 for the installation and $2,000 for efficiency of 15.2+SEER2 or higher. So a heat pump system can get up to $3,200 tax credit based on your income level.

[@znrctrnn]

IS that an 80% furnacee?

[@albertairinc.1140]

Yes, it is the Carrier 80% AFUE furnace 58CU0A080C2120

[@znrctrnn]

in this case why did thencustomer choose 80?

[@albertairinc.1140]

Because they don't run the heat that much, the current configuration was set up for an 80% furnace and the cost was less.

[@CCCC-tq8yo]

I got a varable speed ac and don't see a big difference in bills

[@fijiman88]

I'm sorry to hear that. When we install this type of system we do a full commisioning that involves running the ac and heating for over an hour. We set the sub cooling, airflow limits for heat and cool, check static pressures, set humidty percentages, gas pressure setting, and make sure the software in the system is up to date. This ensures the system will opertate and perform at its best. I would check with your installer to make sure all of this was done.

[@bill944]

Still waiting, eight months later, for a return call from Carrier tech support. I've actually called three times on three separate calls and left all of the pertinent information. Your customers are tiring from the lack of support.

[@albertairinc.1140]

I'm sorry to heat about that. Are you the installing dealer or the customer? Aa a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer we have a direct line to the customer assurance rep for our area. I have always had great support for my customers. If you are the installing dealer then you need to talk to your local Carrier distributers customer assurance department. If you are the customer you need to call the installing contractor and have them contact the Carrier distributer for support with your issue.

[@pbp1701]

You haven't seen the XVI yet then. Years ago I'd be up front and tell homeowners they'd pay more for Trane but the quality was there. Now days you'll pay the same or more for carrier or Lennox junk and miss the quality. I'm not new and have installed and fixed them all. If they made one that didn't break I'd never know about it because I've been doing 60-80 hours a week for a long time and nobody calls when they work great. The truth is buy the cheapest one possible or get the 10 year part and labor warranty. You will need it but most warranties don't transfer with property sale.

[@rodkendall3509]

Have had my Infinity system for 15+ years and no issues. All 90% condensing furnace require a PVC flue/combustion piping...why would you put in metal double wall pipe!

[@albertairinc.1140]

That's great to hear that your Carrier Infinity system performing great after 15 years with no issues. The furnace in the video is an 80% AFUE furnace, that is why it is vented with a 4 inch metal b-vent per code on all 80% furnaces. If we would have gone with a 90%+ furnace we would have installed the PVC flue vent for that unit

[@38mullet]

yeah right we install a ton of them problem child from a guy last name albert

[@adb99999999999]

24" coil on a 21" furnace without a tapered sheet metal transition? Also all that fancy equipment and a basic 1" filter? Why?

[@albertairinc.1140]

Carrier does not make a 21" wide coil in the 5 ton size. So we use the 24" wide coil. There is no need for a transition because the opening on the bottom of the coil is 20" which matches to the opening on the top of the furnace that is also 20". For the filter we use a 1" pleated merv 13 filter that does a great job and then they have an iWave air purifier which puts out positive an negative ions into the air stream to clean the air that way.

'The best AC system you can get' = your OPINION

[@whodat9198]

How well do these actually control humidity and how much is marketing BS??

[@albertairinc.1140]

This unit is great at dehumidifying. There are settings for dehumidifying as well as the condenser having 75 speeds. Because of the 75 speeds it will typically run at lower speeds for longer run times thus taking more humidity out the air for more even and overall comfort in your house.

[@LouisS-cs7bh]

I would no purchase a Carrier unit. These units break down often and the cost for replacement parts are very expensive.

[@fijiman88]

We have not found that to be true. When istalled properly they work great and are very reliable. When installing a very high efficiency system like this we always run new control wiring, ensure ductwork is sized properly or replace it with new, and do a full system commisioning to ensure proper operation. The only issues we have with these units is due to high or low voltage to the units always due to solar panels or utility companies not supplying the correct voltage to the house. Those voltage issues are usually easily resolved.

And while we cannot prevent all breakdowns from happening because some circumstances are out of our control, we do our best to give our customers the best sysem possible and back it with our guarantee and Carrier factory warranty.
