View Full DetailsExpert Review: Carrier Heat Pumps
Carrier has over a century of HVAC expertise, and their Infinity heat pump line — including the Infinity 24 with Greenspeed Intelligence — offers up to 24 SEER2 with variable-speed operation and cold-climate capacity down to -15°F. Parts and dealer support are excellent across Nassau County, and the 10-year parts warranty (with registration) provides solid coverage, though it trails Mitsubishi's 12-year compressor warranty.
For new premium heat pump installs on Long Island we lead with Mitsubishi (best-in-class inverter efficiency and cold-climate performance), Trane (build quality and longevity), and Bosch (strong value with modern inverter tech). Carrier remains a strong fit for larger Nassau County homes where the high-capacity Infinity systems excel, and for homeowners replacing an existing Carrier system who want cross-compatible components. We continue to install and service the full Carrier heat pump line.
