Every season demands a different definition of comfort. A scorching day demands a cold breeze. A cold night demands a warm embrace. Whatever it is, the people who invented modern air conditioning keep inventing new ways to make you comfortable — however you define it.

This time, Carrier brought to you Performance™ 96 Gas Furnace.

“Supported by the Performance Edge® thermostat and a variable-speed blower motor, this furnace 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-speed blower operation also aids other system components and can help make your air conditioning system more efficient and improve summer dehumidification.

Additionally, SmartEvap™ technology which periodically stops the fan in “Constant ON” mode, gives cooling condensation time to drain away to prevent rehumidification. SmartEvap can reduce humidity by up to 10%.”

With an efficiency of up to 96.7% AFUE, the Performance™ 96 Gas Furnace manages to establish a near-5 star status from over 134 well-earned reviews. This is a testament to how a Carrier heater lives up to the company’s reputation as a top-tier HVAC brand for over a century worldwide.

Let’s break down what makes Carrier’s Performance™ 96 Gas Furnace the best fit for most homes in the United States.

This Carrier heater will never feel out of place. It won’t feel like an alien machine that makes it’s presence obvious through the space it takes and the sound it makes. Rather, the Performance™ 96 Gas Furnace blends well with your domestic life by making itself seamless inside your home. It’s compact, quiet, and never intrusive.

The Performance™ 96 Gas Furnace will be your new long-time family friend — dependable, warm, and easy to be with.

But here’s the truth: Expert installment beats any furnace brand. The brand of your unit only makes up a five percent of the total air quality in your house while factors around installation make up the other ninety-five percent. HVAC systems aren’t just snap-in-place. It takes in-depth knowledge and experience to properly install a Carrier furnace or any other brand.

If you want you and your family to experience a hundred percent comfort, you need well-trained technicians with more than a toolbox to show up at your front door. You need experienced professionals with a hundred percent success rate on their belt.

And that’s what Ventwerx provides — a hundred percent service.
