If you like the energy efficiency, environmentally friendly idea of a geothermal system, but not the cost or damage to your yard that comes with installing it, then you need to check out the Greenspeed system-all the same benefits as a geothermal system only you’ll have improved comfort too!

What makes Greenspeed a better option for you?
- Greenspeed is a traditional air to air heat pump which uses the outside air to transfer heat from your home to air condition and from the outside air to your home instead of utilizing the ground, like in geothermal applications, to perform the same function. The big advantage is the installation will look very similar to the existing heating and cooling system you have now. There is no digging, tearing up your yard, spraying the drilling “spoils” all over you and your neighbor’s home, cars, decks and pools.
- Most heat pumps become inefficient below 30-35 degrees because the outdoor air doesn’t have enough heat available to heat your home. In some applications, Greenspeed can deliver enough heat to comfortably heat your home down to zero degrees.
- Hybrid heating is the best of both worlds. When it is too cold outside for the heat pump to heat effectively, electric emergency heat, located in the fan coil, kicks in. With hybrid heat, the electric fan coil is replaced with a gas fired furnace and evaporator coil. Electric heat is very efficient but can be very costly to operate. A highly efficient gas fired furnace will save more money over time when compared to electric heat. Keep in mind, with Greenspeed, the back-up heat runs less than with a typical heat pump.
- Hybrid heat adds a second level of reliability. In the unlikely event of a failure with Greenspeed, the gas heat can be activated with the touch of a button keeping you and your family comfortable.
- Greenspeed is the most comfortable way to cool your home on the market today. Most geothermal units and high efficiency air conditioners have two stages of heat. The first stage is in the neighborhood of 70-85% of the full capacity, which uses less energy to cool your home on those nice 85 degree days. Greenspeed has the ability to go to 40% of full capacity and is infinite up to 100%. This means you can not only control the temperature more exact, but you can control the humidity like no other air conditioner on the market. Believe it or not, controlling humidity is more important than temperature. “It’s a dry heat”...we’ve all heard it and made fun of It, but when humidity is low in the summer, we feel cooler. You can actually set your thermostat a few degrees higher in the summer by removing more humidity in your home.
- Many geothermal units are sized for heating to get the most heat from the heat pump, so the expensive electric emergency heat doesn’t have to be used as much. This is great, except for if the heating side of the heat pump is oversized, so is the cooling. Over sizing cooling is a bad idea. If the first stage of cooling is too large for the cooling load for the home, you are left with a cool damp home....not comfortable. With Greenspeed’s ability to drop the capacity down to 40%, the humidity is not a problem.
- If you have zoning in your home, you do not need a by-pass damper to heat or cool air that is dumped right back into your return air ductwork. By shedding the load by up to 40% of capacity, the specific amount of air needed is either heated or cooled, saving money on operating dollars.
- Finally, for the “Brains” of the operation. This is all controlled by the Infinity Control. This
thermostat on steroids makes all of your comfort needs happen. A very easy to use control gives you the ability to have a portal into your heating and cooling system without blinking an eye. You can control your heating, cooling, fan speed, filtration, humidification, dehumidification, daily and vacation heating and cooling schedules, zoning and it even reminds you when to change your filter, UV lights or humidifier pad. Soon to come is a touch screen, web-based version!
- Greenspeed is so whisper quiet you can have normal conversation right next to it without raising
your voice.
Why destroy your yard, upset your neighbors, and live with an investment you regret every time you are unhappy with the comfort of your family and home? Greenspeed is the alternative that takes care of all of your needs.
Carrier’s Infinity 20 with Greenspeed Intelligence Heat Pump
Like the idea of a geothermal system, but not the cost or damage to your yard that comes with it? Carrier’s Infinity 20 heat pump with Greenspeed intelligence is among the most energy-efficient products of its type. It matches conditions both indoors and out and provides the most comfort for the lowest operating cost so you don’t have to pay for heating and cooling you just don’t need.
As a result, it achieves up to an unprecedented 13.0 HSPF heating efficiency and up to 20.0 SEER cooling efficiency- 29% better than the nearest competitor and an amazing 68% better than standard units.* The ratings are a lot like miles per gallon for your car - the higher the numbers, the more efficient the product and the greater potential for savings. Carrier’s Greenspeed Heat Pump offers plenty of potential for annual savings during both heating and cooling operation. When compared to a standard efficiency heat pump, you can save up to $111 a year in cooling and up to $341 a year in heating.** And, if you are replacing an older, less efficient model, the savings can be even more significant! When you compare other heat pumps and air conditioners against the Infinity 20 Greenspeed, you’ll find there really is no comparison.
Need more reasons to consider the Carrier Infinity 20 with Greenspeed intelligence heat pump? Then consider the following:
Greenspeed intelligence delivers heating when lower outdoor temperatures have forced other systems to switch to an auxiliary heat source in the winter while providing comfort enhancing dehumidification in the summer.
Standard systems mindlessly blast heated or cooled air at one speed before shutting off, which can lead to widely fluctuating temperatures. The Infinity 20 Greenspeed heat pump with variable-speed scroll compressor maintains extra-consistent comfort in your home by more closely matching heating and cooling requirements.
By combining the intuitive Infinity control with the Infinity control board in the heat pump itself, you can control comfort schedules, heating, cooling, humidification, dehumidification, fan speeds and more, all from one easy-to-use control on the wall in your home.
The Infinity 20 Greenspeed heat pump operates within a range of sounds levels between 62dBA and 76dBA in heating mode and as low as 58dBA in cooling mode. On the low end, that’s as quiet as a conversation and on the high end, a little louder than a vacuum cleaner, but not as loud as a washing machine. Check out this video to see how loud the Infinity 20 is in the cooling season.
Greenspeed intelligence monitors several critical system functions and adjusts operation to maximize performance and system reliability. With built-in protection features and Carrier quality testing, you can be confident with your comfort.
