FAN COILS
Efficiency and comfort-enhancing fan coils are designed for years of reliable
operation.
DESIGNED WITH YOUR COMFORT IN MIND
Innovation, efficiency, and quality:
Our Carrier Infinity® System fan coils complement your heat pump or air
conditioner with intelligent electronics and multi-speed capabilities that
deliver premium indoor comfort and energy-saving performance. Throughout our
entire fan coil line, including Performance™ and Comfort™ Series models, we
never lose sight of the Carrier quality, environmental stewardship and lasting
durability that have endured for more than a century.
-
EFFICIENCY
SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings are like your car’s MPG – the higher the number, the greater the potential for savings. Our fan coils are designed to maximize the performance of a matched Carrier air conditioner
or heat pump and many of them can boost the published cooling efficiency (SEER2) for even greater savings. -
DURABILITY
For enhanced protection of the indoor coil from premature damage due to corrosive airborne elements, Carrier offers ArmorTech™ coil protection on certain fan coil models. -
HUMIDITY MANAGEMENT
When installed with a humidity-sensing thermostat and matched outdoor unit, Carrier fan coils can provide added comfort and efficiency through humidity management during the cooling season. Even better, match our Infinity fan coil with an Infinity system control, humidifier and appropriate outdoor unit and let Ideal Humidity System™ technology deliver ideal comfort all year long. -
ENVIRONMENT
With Puron Advance™, Carrier proudly continues our century-plus commitment to environmental stewardship. It’s a refrigerant that delivers a 75% decrease in global warming potential while maintaining original Puron’s non-ozone depleting properties. All new Carrier products with Puron Advance include factory-installed leak dissipation systems to meet new UL requirements and to show our commitment to safety. -
LIMITED WARRANTY
To the original owner, Carrier fan coils are covered by a 10-year parts limited warranty upon timely registration. The limited warranty period is five years if not registered within 90 days of installation except in jurisdictions where warranty benefits cannot be conditioned upon registration. See the warranty certificate at carrier.com for complete details and restrictions.
THE CARRIER DIFFERENCE
A Carrier fan coil can be a core component of your comfort system. If you could look under the hood, you’d see what drives the performance: a serious commitment to quality. Certain fan coils feature ECM blower motors for optimized airflow, comfort and efficiency. Our Infinity and Performance models step it up with variable-speed air delivery for extra efficiency, quieter operation and even, consistent indoor temperatures.
For lasting durability through corrosion protection,the indoor coil includes our high-tech composite base pan with its integrated, sloped drain. The base pan promotes positive drainage to help reduce opportunities for growth of airborne irritants. To ensure maximum reliability and energy-efficient operation, our thermostatic expansion valve (TXV) maintains proper refrigerant flow as pressure and conditions change. Of course, this is the type of excellence you expect when you turn to the experts – Carrier.
A RANGE OF COMFORT
Carrier delivers indoor comfort systems in a range of shapes and sizes for standard single-family homes to multifamily apartment applications. Check out this side-by-side comparison to see how our smart and efficient Infinity fan coils measure up against our Performance and Comfort models.

---|---|---|---|---|---
Allows precise temperature and humidity control along with programmable features to further customize your comfort.

Provides efficient cooling or cooling/heating for comfort and potential energy savings.
|
UV lamps are a critical line of defence in keeping your cooling coil clean, by killing mould and bacteria, which can grow on your evaporator/cooling coil in the HVAC system.
|
Uses Captures & Kills® technology to inactivate 99% of select airborne pathogens trapped by the filter, including coronavirus, bacteria and other pathogens.1
|
Adds moisture to the air, helping keep static and dry skin at bay.
|
Combines fresh outdoor air with conditioned indoor air for improved air quality.
The Infinity® air purifier has demonstrated effectiveness against the murine coronavirus, based on third-party testing (2020) showing a >99% inactivation, which is a virus similar to the human novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19. Therefore, the Infinity air purifier can be expected to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 when used by its directions for use. Third-party testing (2012, 2007) also shows ≥99% inactivation for the type of virus that causes common colds, Streptococcus pyogenes and human influenza. Airborne particles must flow through your HVAC system and be trapped by the Infinity filter to be inactivated at 99%. Learn how it works at Carrier.com/purifier.
