The Evolution Extreme 26 and 24 include enhanced dehumidification and can remove up to 70% more moisture per day than a single-stage system.2 Plus, both units feature a variable-speed capacity operating range down to 25% in 1% increments and provide high-ambient cooling operation with full power up to 125º F. The Evolution Extreme 24 also offers heating operation to minus 15 F. In addition, it is the only ducted heat pump on the market with a variable-speed, 5-ton unit that can achieve 13.0 EER and features the addition of vapor-injection technology.3
“We’re confident that homeowners will appreciate the features and benefits that are realized in our most ambitious development project to date. We’re also pleased to introduce enhanced installation and serviceability to our dealers, as we know that these improvements will make their lives easier,” said Todd Nolte, senior director, product and brand marketing, HVAC-Residential, Carrier. “The Evolution Extreme 26 and 24 are a true testament to the rigorous research and development that went into this project and we’re proud to be able to provide customers with such industry-leading advantages.
In addition, an Evolution™ air purifier will be included with the purchase of every Evolution Extreme 26 and 24.4 The Evolution air purifier works silently in-line with the HVAC system and can improve indoor air quality. It uses Captures & Kills™ technology to trap up to 95% of particles5, then uses an electrical charge to kill or inactivate up to 99% of germs and viruses6. With every cycle of air that passes through this patented air purifying system, pollen, animal dander, bacteria and other pollutants are trapped and held tightly to the filter. An electrical charge then bursts the cell walls of pathogens it comes in contact with.
