Overview
The Performance 96 gas furnace is a two stage furnace, with a variable-speed blower motor and will run in low stage up to 90% of the time. Longer, low-stage run times give you better energy efficiency, better temperature control and increased comfort. It also assures you quieter performance.
Variable 25-speed blower operation also aids other system components and can help make your air conditioning system more efficient and improve summer dehumidification.
SmartEvap™ technology gives cooling condensation time to drain away to prevent rehumidification. SmartEvap can reduce humidity by up to 10%.
Pair your InteliSense-enabled Performance Series furnace with an ecobee for Carrier Smart Thermostat to grant permission for data sharing, and enjoy the benefits of connected comfort. InteliSense™ technology gives your dealer the ability to remotely view the operational health of your system and use digital tools to provide more efficient customer service and remotely troubleshoot your system.
