Think about the advanced consumer technologies
available today: televisions that automatically lower
sound to a consistent level, clothes dryers that run
according to detected moisture levels and cars with
engines that can activate and de-activate cylinders
to save on fuel.
It’s the variability that makes them more efcient, more
useful and more valuable—that’s the idea behind Carrier
Variable-Speed Technology—applying key technologies
to provide exceptional comfort while using less energy.
Read on. We think you will nd Variable-Speed
Technology to be a very, vari-smart idea.

a new leVel of comfort.
Carrier® Variable-Speed Technology embodies a new level of
product performance found in the Innity® 18VS heat pump.
Compared to two-stage heat pumps, the Innity 18VS heat pump,
using a sophisticated internal control and paired with the Innity
Touch Control and an Innity gas furnace or fan coil, senses indoor
and outdoor conditions and adjusts comfort levels accordingly.
Now, with its own unique approach to Variable-Speed Technology,
the all-new Innity 18VS heat pump produces efciency ratings
up to 18 Seasonal Energy Efciency Ratio (SEER) and up to 11
Heating Seasonal Performance Factor (HSPF), but at a price point
that’s closer to two-stage heat pumps—and that’s a very big deal.
Keep reading to nd out just how big.
proVen and protected.
Two key components of Variable-Speed Technology found
in the Innity® 18VS heat pump are the rotary
compressor and the integrated inverter control.
The rotary compressor design has been proven
in numerous applications throughout the world,
and the integrated inverter control is designed
with sophisticated component protection to
promote long-term reliability.
VarIable-speed tHrIlls.
At the heart of Variable-Speed Technology is the compressor and
inverter. While the Innity® 20 heat pump with Greenspeed®
intelligence uses adaptable-speed technology to adjust
compressor speed between 40 and 100% of full capacity, the
all-new Innity 18VS heat pump can vary its compressor speed
by continuously monitoring conditions and selecting one of ve
operating stages for optimal comfort and efciency—far beyond
the range of typical two-stage heat pumps.

VAr i-SmarT for HeatIng, too.
The Innity® 18VS heat pump with Variable-Speed Technology
delivers strong heating performance at typical heat pump
operating temperatures. With up to an outstanding 11 HSPF
rating and HYBRID HEAT® capability, the Innity 18VS heat
pump can still heat efciently before switching on an auxiliary
heat source when the thermometer dips. This makes the
Innity 18VS heat pump an attractive option in a wide range
of geographic regions.

Installing an energy-efcient heat pump like the all-new
Innity® 18VS heat pump with Variable-Speed Technology
can potentially net you more than just energy savings.
Many states and local utility companies also offer rebates
and other incentive programs toward new purchases of
energy-efcient heating and cooling systems. Ask your
contractor for more information.

The Innity® 18VS heat pump and Innity 20 heat pump with
Greenspeed® intelligence have the highest heating efciency
ratings of any ducted, air source heat pumps on the market.
While the Innity 20 heat pump has up to 13 HSPF heating
efciency, and up to 20.5 SEER cooling performance, the
Innity 18VS heat pump is capable of achieving up to a
remarkable 11 HSPF, and provides up to 18 SEER.
