The Infinity® 98 furnace delivers precision comfort with Greenspeed intelligence. This is the most advanced Carrier® furnace ever made. Its unique design innovations achieve unprecedented efficiency and quiet. Greenspeed intelligence is created by pairing adaptable-speed technology with our Infinity control's intelligence. The unique, modulating gas valve of this unit, when managed by the Infinity control, allows it to literally adapt its output to the needs of the home. With tiny, 1% adjustments between 40 and 100% capacity, it gives the home only the amount of heating necessary.
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.
The Amana brand AMVC96 Variable-Speed Two-Stage gas valve furnace provides exceptional indoor comfort and quiet operation. This furnace features a stainlesssteel tubular heat exchanger and durable silicon nitride ignition system. With its two-stage gas valve and variable-speed airflow system, the AMVC96 provides homeowners with comfort all season long.
With the Amana Brand AMVM97 Modulating, Variable-Speed gas valve furnace, you will own what we believe to be our best furnace. Not only will this furnace provide your family with years of reliable warmth in even the harshest winters, it will do so economically. In tandem with its variable-speed blower motor, this modulating gas furnace typically runs at the lowest possible speed to precisely maintain a constant, steady temperature, which will deliver optimal heating performance to your home.
Stages describe the different levels of heat output from a furnace. A two-stage furnace has high and low settings for different levels of demand, while a single model operates at full blast, whether it’s needed or not.
A modulating furnace does not burn a fixed amount of gas like a single or two-stage furnace. For example, the Carrier 59MN7 can adjust fuel utilization in 1% increments between 40% and 100% capacity, depending on what your home needs. This translates to lower fuel consumption and a higher level of comfort.
“AFUE” stands for Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency. The AFUE rating reports how effectively a furnace converts fuel into heat for our homes. The higher the AFUE, the less money you'll spend on energy.
To earn the Energystar rating in Canada, furnaces must be equipped with an electronically commutated fan motor (ECM) and meet a 95% AFUE rating.
We wish we had a simple answer, but this is a complex question, and as much as we want to say Carrier or Amana, that wouldn’t be fair. The truth is all the big furnace brands make amazing products with state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and strict testing procedures. Where some manufacturers fall short is with the barrier to entry to sell their products. If a brand does not have an aggressive vetting process, its products could end up in the hands of the wrong technician. In short, installation is everything, and you are best to focus on picking the right installers first and the brand second. However, if you are buying a furnace for the first time, we would suggest sticking with dealer-restricted brands that distribute their own products. In most cases, you can trust that manufacturers select firms that they are confident will do right by their brand.

This is a tricky question. There is no easy way of knowing the best time to change your furnace, but here are a few things to consider:
In conclusion, we never ‘age shame’ a furnace, and there is no set age when a furnace needs to be replaced. However, it’s fair to say that any furnace over fifteen years old is ripe for replacement. As replacement parts become more expensive and harder to source, the value of repairing a furnace decreases.
The cost of installing a new furnace will depend on a few factors, including the size of your space, the furnace brand, and the material requirements, but that’s not the answer you’re looking for, and happily, we have data to help.
The average cost of installing forty furnaces in 2022 is $4,267. Keep in mind that this average includes all sorts of installations, from entry-level furnaces all the way up to fully modulating furnaces.
In most cases, we match the manufacturer’s parts warranty with an equivalent labor warranty. For example, Carrier products have a standard ten-year parts warranty, and we match that with a ten-year labor warranty. This is our way of saying that we stand behind the products we install.
Absolutely not. All our technicians are fully licensed employees. Each proposal has a no sub-contractor guarantee, so you can rest assured that your products will be installed correctly the first time around with us; it’s what we do best, after all.
