Carrier Infinity COVID-19

Infinity® Air Purifier

Our Best Defense

Indoor air circulates through a home’s return air ducts, into the heating/cooling system, then back into the home’s living areas. It is full of tiny particles from both natural and manmade sources such as pollen, dander, mold, tobacco smoke, exhaust and select viruses and bacteria. The largest of these particles settle on interior surfaces and appear as dust. Smaller particles also settle, but become airborne again with the slightest disturbance. The Infinity air purifier is installed on or near the furnace/air handler of your home comfort system to remove airborne particles that circulate throughout your home. Removing these particles keeps the equipment components clean, and more importantly, removes particles from the air you breathe. Because your indoor air is under constant attack, you need an effective defense – the kind you get with the Infinity air purifier.

Why the Carrier Infinity Air Purifier Matters

As part of a strategy for slowing the spread of infectious disease in your home, the Infinity air purifier should be considered essential. Featuring our patented Captures & Kills® technology, the Infinity air purifier offers proven, third-party tested effectiveness with a 99% inactivation of captured viruses and germs when used as instructed, including:

  • Coronavirus
  • Common cold surrogate
  • Bacteria that causes strep throat
  • Human influenza

Here’s How it Works

Our Infinity air purifier treats the air flowing through your HVAC system’s air handler using a three-step, charge/capture/kill process:

Charge

The purifier creates a “cloud” of electrically charged ions that attach themselves to airborne dust, pollen, viruses, germs and other particles as they pass through.

Capture

The ionized particles are pulled toward an oppositely charged, pleated MERV 15 rated filter and captured at an extremely high rate, similar to how a magnet attracts metal shavings.2

Kill

Captured airborne microbes remain on the pleated filter instead of recirculating back into the home and are subjected to an intense electric field. There, 99% of select viruses and bacteria are inactivated.1

1 The Infinity air purifier has demonstrated effectiveness against the murine coronavirus, based on third party testing (2020) showing a >99% inactivation, which is a virus similar to the human novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19. Therefore, the Infinity air purifier can be expected to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 when used in accordance with its directions for use. Third-party testing (2012, 2007) also shows ≥99% inactivation for the type of virus that causes common colds, Streptococcus pyogenes and human influenza. Airborne particles must flow through your HVAC system and be trapped by the Infinity filter to be inactivated at 99%.2 MERV is a filter efficiency standard ranging from 1 to 16 (higher MERV = higher efficiency). The Infinity air purifier achieves a MERV 15 rating based on third-party testing (2012) showing 95% of particles size 1.0 to 3.0 microns captured and 85% of particles size 0.3 to 1.0 microns captured.

Limited Warranty

To the original owner, the Carrier Infinity air purifier is covered by a 10-year parts limited warranty upon timely registration. The limited warranty period is five years if not registered within 90 days of installation except in jurisdictions where warranty benefits cannot be conditioned upon registration.

Let’s clear the air about air filtration! When you think about cleaning your home, you typically imagine dusting the surfaces and mopping the floors - but what about the air quality? You know that there is pollution outside of your home, yet many homeowners are unaware of the pollution inside their homes. Want to have better indoor air quality in your home? Consider a whole home air purifier.


What is whole home air purification?

It’s an add-on to your HVAC system that removes contaminants from the air. These filters integrate with your central heating and cooling system to remove harmful fumes and particulates. Your home air depends on the quality of your filtration system - keep your family safe by investing in a purification system that cleans your entire home. There are air purifiers that you can purchase at hardware stores but they are ineffective as they only purify a single room, while whole home air purifiers remove contaminants from the entire home.

What is the harm of poor indoor air quality?

If you’re like most homeowners, you try to insulate your house as best as possible to keep your warm/cool air in. This is great for your utility bills, but it comes with one downside: it traps pollution inside the home. The effects of poor indoor air can be harmful to your health. For those with respiratory issues, polluted indoor air can seriously impede your quality of life. Mould spores can pollute the air and cause respiratory issues, and dust mites can trigger asthma and allergies. You may experience dry skin, eyes, and throat. Other symptoms are headaches, fatigue, congestion, and even nausea.


How do I clean the air throughout my whole home?

You can install a filter in your HVAC system that can remove contaminants like pet dander. Different grades of filters will be able to remove more particles - HEPA filters (high-efficiency particulate absorbing), typically used in hospitals, can remove viruses and bacteria from indoor air. They have a MERV rating of 17-21. The grade of filter that you require depends on your sensitivity to contaminants, whether you own pets, the level of pollution in your area, and the specifications of your system. You can meet with a technician at Provincial Heating and Cooling for a consultation; we will help you determine which filter is right for your home.


What about an air purifier that I can purchase at a store?

The air purifiers that you can purchase at hardware stores don’t have the same capabilities as these air filtration systems. They can only purify one room at a time, which makes very little difference in your overall indoor air quality, as air is cycled throughout the home. Investing in an air purifier is a more efficient purchase because it completely cleanses the air in your whole home.


How will an air purifier impact my HVAC system?

The filter does more than remove contaminants from the air you breathe - it also protects your heating and cooling system from being damaged by them. Clean air will extend the lifespan of your HVAC system and save it from needing frequent repairs.


Your home is supposed to be a sanctuary, not a place where you’re sneezing, sniffling, and scratching your dry skin. Considering how much time we spend inside our homes - the quality of the air we breathe is important. Want to improve the air quality in your home?
