Looks like they got rid of that muffler on the suction line also, nice
Who is your sales guy?
Are these systems more than 5 stages? I noticed in the carrier control no stage is shown by the compressor rpm. Do you know what type of compressor is in this unit? Rotary or scroll? Just curious.
I have this unit and I wouldn’t recommend it to anybody that lives in cold areas. Unit is great in summertime but in cold weather I live in ct it’s terrible. Today it is 10 degrees outside and the outdoor unit is not even turning on!!! Only air handler with aux heat. 1 year into it had a part go bad cost me $700 to fix because carrier didn’t want to cover their own warranty. This unit was the biggest mistake I ever made
Has anyone had issues with the PEV on these
Your knowledge of these was awesome to watch. I have a 4 yr old infinity greenspeed that is giving us static pressure, sweating, and failed compressor issues. It runs good static up til 1200 cfm then goes way high. 4 ton system. Any idea what to look into first? Ducts or adjust blower speed?
Thankful that after 45 years in the hvac trade I retired 4 years ago. While technology has drastically changed over the years I cannot justify the overall cost and complexity of these systems. I was a Carrier service tech for most of my career and I would never recommend one of these units. The return on investment will never be accomplished and after the warranty is over any repairs will be astronomical.
Engineers coming out of school like to impress and design systems that, on paper, seem great but, they are not REAL WORLD applicable.

Lol i like how when you pull up the app it has a 2 star rating xD
I replaced the inverter board under warranty for a Green speed from 2012. Took a week to get approved by Carrier probably because it was $3,800!! Out of warranty repairs for these type of units are insane.
At 08:02, we see the number plate: the condenser unit is a Carrier 25VNA448A300: AHRI tested 22 SEER / 13.5 EER / 11 HSPF (per Carrier product data sheet 25VNA4-01PD dated 02/20)
At 05:50, we see some details involving Bluetooth connectivity. Buyers should be aware that Bluetooth technology is not at all secure; Bluetooth capability renders your equipment open to exploitation. See "Bluetooth Security Issue" in Forbes, 2019 Aug 15, or blog dot arc dot com / 2019 / 04.
At 04:50, you can see that the clearance from the condenser unit to the building is less than 12" (est.). Also, at )1:30, to the left of the condenser unit, there is vegetation encroaching right up to the side of the condenser unit. These will reduce the effectiveness of the condenser unit unacceptably. I am aware that the factory specifications give the clearance to the building as six inches (6"), but the unit is some 44" tall and requires much more clearance to allow air to flow with acceptable friction loss.
Factory specifications notwithstanding, you cannot fool physics.
My proposal would be to angle the unit 45 degrees, so that the service panel is the part closest to the building and to maintain minimum 24" separation from the building. Also, get rid of that vegetation to a distance of 44" minimum.
Thanks for showing us your work; very generous and courageous, guys.
Why would a customer pay extra for all that bluetooth junk just to make the service tech's life easier? A savings not passed on to the customer. As a home owner, the first thing you should ask is how much does it costs to fix. I'll deal with the extra $10 a month in electricity.
Thanks for making this, glad to get a look at the system! May put one of these in my house (unless I cheap out and do a VNA8…) That ICM493 is important, we lost our first two compressors due to dirty power.
Don’t freaking sell it man.!!!!!L?!!
Better have 10 years parts and labor every time or might as well forget about it🙉🙈🙊🐒🐥🐥🐥🦄🐸🐷🦖🦑🦀🇺🇾🇿🇼
Partnership with samsung..hmmm.. didn't Samsung have the mysterious exploding boards after a few years. Not a fan of lennox
High level.love the job guys.
Great content! I'm a bryant TM in the northern CA market and my Dealers are getting great customer feedback so far. Excited to see these units in 6months-1year and some service work performed via Bluetooth. Should really help more "green" technicians and assist with the labor force shortage.
Imagine…..a system that costs more than your house is worth.
Do you guys always leave the sensing bulb inside the cabinet. We always pull them outside of the cabinet. Just curious
I just installed a new Goodman 16 SEER HVAC system myself. The Goodman furnace supports Bluetooth and I was to upgrade the firmware and configure the HVAC using the free Goodman CoolCloudHAC app. I had never used the app before but it was intuitive and easy for me. I agree that flashing firmware is much faster using an SD-Card. Just make sure you have the latest stable version on the card before flashing.
