Carrier Infinity
Efficiency: Up to 21 SEER
The efficiency of an air conditioner is measured by its Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio, or SEER. You’re probably wondering, what the hell is a SEER? Simply put SEER is just a ratio – it’s the ratio of the cooling provided to the energy consumed (In other words, how much cooling was performed / energy consumed = SEER rating). The higher the SEER rating, the more efficient the air conditioner is.
Quiet Level: Best
The Carrier Infinity model rates at around 65 decibels. What is a decibel? For reference, 65 decibels rates at about the same noise level as a normal conversation – unless you’re talking to my wife (joking…I’ll be in trouble for this I’m sure).
Comfort Features: Best

We’re not the only ones that think highly of this Carrier Infinity unit. Carrier Infinity is ENERGY STAR® qualified in all sizes and has earned applause from Consumer’s Digest as a Best Buy® winner.
It’s easy to understand why. This Carrier Infinity model is the most efficient air conditioner we make for starters. Add to that the fact that its two-stage compressor can make a real comfort difference when it comes to managing indoor humidity.
Two-stage compression lets the system bring the cool when it’s needed but allows it to function mostly in low-stage, where you get the highest efficiency and the best dehumidification due to longer run times. It’s also quieter in low stage.
And if you want to really step up in comfort, make sure you combine the 24ANB1 with an Infinity indoor unit featuring a comfort-inducing variable-speed blower motor and manage it all with an Infinity control. It’s the best way to assure you get the highest level of efficiency and cool comfort.
