Carrier Comfort Heat Technology®

What is Comfort Heat Technology?

Comfort Heat Technology manages your furnace’s heating stages to maintain a more consistent indoor temperature. This proprietary technology monitors temperatures and matches furnace operation to the heating needs of the home. By running low-stage heating for longer periods of time, a furnace with Comfort Heat Technology is designed to use the least amount of energy needed for the highest level of performance and comfort.

Why is it better? 

Ordinary, single-stage furnaces without this technology heat your home using high-stage heating. When your home needs heating, the furnace turns on at full blast, quickly raises the temperature to match your thermostat setting, then turns off. This can lead to inconsistent, up-and-down temperature “swings.” The higher number of on-and-off cycles can also use more energy.

Advantages of Comfort Heat Technology 

• Significantly reduces temperature swings 
• Quieter operation on low-stage heating
• Longer heating cycles help keep airflow more consistent from room-to-room
• Longer heating cycles can improve air-enhancement systems like air purifiers and humidifiers as well
• Select Carrier furnaces with Comfort Heat Technology are compatible with many existing single-stage thermostats
