InteliSense

The Carrier Performance line is a step up from their basic, comfort series. This means the system is more advanced, efficient and does cost a little more. This line of Carrier is their 2 stage systems that come with InteliSense. InteliSense is Carrier’s technology that changes the way contractors can help customers. After your Performance system is installed, you have the option to allow the installing contractor to receive and review information from your 2 stage Carrier system. Through the use of the ecobee smart thermostat, the contractor is able to read diagnostic codes and gather performance data to help address issues in your 2 stage Carrier system as they happen. This process allows the contractor to quickly repair any components before they need replacing. Being able to address issues in real time extends your whole units lifespan, and overall lowers the total 2 stage Carrier cost in the long run. 

Carrier Performance Cost by Type

Your Carrier performance system cost will vary depending on what type of system you get. For example an electric 2 ton Carrier performance system costs you $10,365.75 and a gas system will cost you a little more at $10,625.46, gas systems are much more efficient at heating but are slightly more expensive due to their safety measures required for carbon monoxide. The heat pump has the higher Carrier 2 stage ac unit cost at $11,310.83. This is because of the outdoor ac unit and its capability to both heat and cool the space, these systems are great for the southern regions because the winters rarely require the heating from the indoor unit.

Carrier Performance Heat Pump Cost

If you live in the south, the 2 stage Carrier heat pump is one of the most reliable systems you can purchase for your home. This is because heat pump systems both cool and heat, making them very effective at conditioning the space. In the south you rarely require the heat from the indoor unit, making the heat pump also one of the most energy efficient systems available to you. The total 2 stage Carrier heat pump cost is $10,625.46 to $13,395.50.

Carrier Performance Gas System Cost

Gas systems deliver the best heating for your home. Gas systems are slightly higher than electric systems because they have safety measures that require additional equipment and specialized knowledge to install that equipment for carbon monoxide. The Carrier performance system cost for a gas system is from $11,310.83 to $14,968.00.

Electric Carrier Performance Cost

Electric systems are the cheapest of the three types. This is because they are very straightforward and dont have any additional technology or require any special equipment to function properly and be within code compliance. While electric systems are the cheapest upfront they are not very efficient compared to their other systems. The 2 stage Carrier electric ac unit cost is from $10,365.75 to $13,208.21.

Carrier Performance Add-ons

When you are purchasing a Carrier Performance system, you are already investing in an advanced, more efficient system. In order to further increase your comfort and air quality you may want to invest in additional add-ons for your new system. This could mean purchasing something advanced such as a Reme Halo LED to purify the air or a Dehumidifier to maintain optimal levels of humidity, to something very basic like a media filter, which lasts significantly longer than other filters and also keeps your system cleaner, longer. While investing in these add-ons will provide a higher quality experience it will also increase the total Carrier Performance system cost. 

Add OnsCost
UV Light$398.00
LED Reme Halo$1,250
4" Filter & Base$575.00
Dehumidifier$3,800.00
Programmable Thermostat$873.00
Surge Protector$393.00
Install New Line Set$800.00
Duct Board Plenum$477.00
Metal Plenum$695.00
Replace Duct Run$525.00
New Location Duct Run$725.00

Media Filter

The media filter is one of the more common add-ons purchased with the Carrier Performance systems. This is a 4 inch filter that has a higher Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value (MERV Rating) than your traditional filters. This add-on goes a long way to keep your system cleaner, longer. This is due to the materials used for filtration here. While a traditional air filter would remove particles as small as 50 microns, media filters the ability to remove particles as small as .10 microns. Media filters have roughly 30-40 times more filtering material than their basic counterparts. A good filter keeps your system efficient longer, saving you on the total Carrier Performance system cost. 

Reme Halo LED

The Reme Halo LED is one of the best products on the market for indoor air quality. This UV light purifies your air, getting rid of dust, dander, pollen and other particulates in the air, leading to healthier, odor-free air. When you pair this product with the 2 stage Carrier Performance system, it completes your cooling experience by making sure that the environment is not only comfortable but cleaner than it was before. 

Aprilaire E100 Dehumidifier

Dehumidifier

While the 2 stage Carrier Performance system is very efficient at dehumidifying the air, nothing will beat a ducted dehumidifier. This add-on is installed specifically to make sure the air itself is comfortable. Humidity affects how we perceive the current temperature, a cool 72 degrees may not feel very cool if the humidity is too high. A dehumidifier also indirectly decreases your energy bill. This is because drier air feels cooler, and you are able to run your system at a slightly higher temperature, reducing the energy usage of the system and your overall total Carrier Performance AC unit cost. 

Ductwork

Arguably the most important add-on you could purchase with your 2 stage Carrier system is ductwork. This is because the ductwork is the median in which comfort is achieved by the system. Having proper ductwork can do multiple things for you and your system. For you, it makes sure the space is conditioned evenly, reducing hot and cold spots. For your system, it makes sure it is able to run as intended, meaning there is no strain on the system to push air out or bring air in. This eliminates wear and tear, and reduces the total Carrier Performance system cost by making sure all components are operating efficiently and do not prematurely break down. 

Carrier Performance Maintenance Cost

One thing that is very important to budget for is your maintenance cost on your Carrier Performance system. This is very important because regularly scheduled maintenance visits can not only increase your systems lifespan, but maintain efficiency throughout. A maintenance program can act not only as a tune-up but an early detection program that makes sure all of your 2 stage Carrier’s parts are operating within manufacturers specifications. Once a part starts to fail, it is very important to identify and fix the issue as soon as possible, because once a part breaks, other parts will break as well. Budgeting for a quality maintenance program can save you a ton of money on your total 2 stage Carrier cost.
