Carrier Infinity 96?

[jolly-john]

I have a current Carrier brochure describing the Carrier Infinity 96 furnace. How does this furnace differ from the Carrier 58MVP? Is the 58MVP an old model number, or are there actual differences between these two units?

Also, what Bryant furnace directly compares to the Carrier Infinity 96 line, and is this Bryant furance identical to the Carrier 96? Thanks for any help! John

AFAICT, the Infinity 96 is the 58MVP. But be careful, 58MVP isn't a complete model number, that'll be something like 58MVPnnnXssscc where the sss is a 'series.' It might be that only certain recent series of 58MVP actually have the control board that can communicate with the Infinity control, and so there might be older series 58MVPs that aren't "Infinity 96"s.

IIRC the corresponding Bryant model number started with 355MAV, and the furnaces weren't identical--the Bryant had a red logo on the front. Huh ... guess it's 355AAV now.

The 58MVP is the Infinity 96 furnace but it is being replaced with the new 58MVB. Just some minor improvements, but still the same furnace. Any MVP or MVB furnace is an Infinity furnace and will interface with the Infinity Control. The Bryant furnace is the same. Bryant's Equivalent to the Infinity is the evolution. Its the same thing, just different stickers. Hope this helps...

Be careful! Older MVP's may not have the communication feature. This feature was included about two years ago. Some exixting installations may not be compatible with the Infinity interface.

A marketing ploy. One furnace (58MVP040-20) is 96% efficient. Using one of Trane's tricks.

Thanks. That is one of the great things about Goodman/Amana equipment. When they state that a series is a certain efficiency, most if not all of the models of that series will be that efficiency.

Efficiency does not mean squat when “Hundreds of thousands of Goodman furnaces have been installed by some not so great installers” as you have stated.

Your efficiency is thrown out the window at that point.

Leave it up to the Goodman representative to hijack the thread with his ulterior motives here of marketing GoodDUMB™ anyway he can.

I agree, I posted a reply on another thread and then recanted, but Im through trying to be nice to this guy. Robo is nothing more than a hypoctite. He comes on these threads plugging and prasing his goodman garbage, taking cheap shots where he can at other manufactures. He is a Baby. He's plugging Junkatrol on another thread trying to tell everybody that they are great in coastal applications. Then on another thread he is telling a HO (who is trying to decide between rheem and goodman) that goodman is a more effecient furnace after the HO stated that the goodman was a 93% AFUE and the RHEEM was "90+" It oould have been a mod furnace for all we know, because the Ho never states what it is but here comes Robo with his goodman like menality making false assumptions. But when someone else has an opinion about a product than we are "Brand Bashers" I am sick of him. I will give him a taste of his own medicine.
