Overview
The 26VNA1 is different in a lot of ways. The unique, variable-speed compressor of this unit, allows it to literally adapt its output to the needs of the home. With tiny adjustments between 25 and 100% capacity, it gives the home only the amount of cooling necessary. That's huge from a comfort perspective. The ability to run in lower speeds most of the time makes it quieter and more adept at removing humidity and keeping temperatures even. Plus, those lower speeds are the sweet spot for the unit's best efficiency levels and for getting the most benefit out of other systems you might have like an air purifier because of more constant air flow through the system.
Always have access to the latest performance enhancements and upgrades. Over-the-air software updates can reduce or eliminate service calls while ensuring optimum system performance and home comfort. Purchasing a connected product from Carrier provides the peace of mind that your dealer can remotely monitor and troubleshoot your HVAC system, protecting your investment and providing efficient and reliable service.
