Furnaces
In our area, the furnace is the center of the indoor weather system. The
furnace not only provides the heat required for winter comfort, it also
serves to move the cool air required in the summer. Hinrich has a wide range
of Carrier furnace options available. We choose a furnace for your home
based on a number of factors. We consider the heating requirements of the
home, the air delivery required, the size of the ductwork, the condition of
the chimney, and any special requirements of the homeowner.
Furnace efficiency generally falls into two general categories.
Mid-efficiency furnaces are generally between 78% and 82% AFUE. High
efficiency furnaces generally are above 90% AFUE. You will notice that no
furnaces are made with an AFUE between about 83% and 89% AFUE. These
furnaces experience severe venting and corrosion problems.
Condensing furnace technology separates the high efficiency furnaces from
the mid-efficiency models. Most furnaces have one heat exchanger to convert
combustion gases into usable heat. A condensing furnace adds a secondary
heat exchanger which extracts more heat from the gas used. By making the
most of the fuel used, condensing furnaces are the most energy efficient gas
furnaces you can buy.
Carrier ComfortHeat Technology in both mid-efficiency and high efficiency
furnaces can enhance your comfort. With a typical furnace, the average
temperature can fluctuate as much as 4 degrees between cycles. A two-stage
gas furnace improves air circulation for more consistent heating which can
reduce the average temperature fluctuation to 2 degrees or less.
Adding a variable speed motor makes your furnace a thinking machine. When
combined with the electrical efficiency of a variable speed motor, Carrier's
two stage gas furnaces deliver totally energy efficient indoor weather.
Throughout the cooling season, when the furnace is matched with a Carrier
air conditioner, this advanced motor helps reduce the amount of electricity
needed to keep cool air circulating throughout your home. This can raise the
efficiency of the air conditioner by an additional point.
Carrier's mid-efficiency furnaces are a reliable option. These furnaces use
a Class-B gas vent system or masonry chimney with a flue liner. They feature
items such as the exclusive Draft Safeguard Switch. This feature monitors
flue vents for blockage and automatically shuts down furnace operation to
prevent harmful gases from escaping into your living space. Hot surface
ignition eliminates the pilot for reliable and quiet start up and operation.
The Carrier Weathermaker 9200, high efficiency furnace, offers guaranteed
reliability based on quality components. The secondary heat exchanger uses
Carrier's Serpentuff technology. A polypropylene lining protects the folded
steel substrate while epoxy coating outside furthers protects it from
corrosion. Both the primary and secondary heat exchangers are covered by a
limited lifetime warranty. Hot surface ignition eliminates the worry
associated with a pilot light. A four speed direct drive blower allows us to
set the fan speed appropriate for your home. And like all Carrier high
efficiency furnaces this unit features sealed combustion with PVC piping
used for the intake and vent.
For the very best in energy efficient heating, a Carrier Weathermaker
Infinity gas furnace is the choice for you. This furnace combines two stage
heating with variable speed blower technology. These advanced features allow
the Infinity to deliver the ultimate in indoor weather.
