Carrier has launched the Opti-V system, a variable refrigerant flow (VRF) heat pump solution for residential and light commercial use, available under both the Carrier and Toshiba Carrier brands. The system is designed to offer high efficiency, zoning flexibility, and low-noise operation, supporting up to nine indoor units with one outdoor unit.
The Opti-V system delivers SEER2 ratings up to 29.7 and HSPF2 up to 12.2, operating in heating mode at outdoor temperatures as low as -22°F (-30°C) and cooling at up to 122°F (50°C). It features a compact footprint and supports piping lengths up to 984 ft (300 m), making it suitable for space-limited and complex installations. Indoor units can operate at sound levels from 31 dB(A), while outdoor units reach 56 dB(A).
Compatible with Puron Advance refrigerant, select Opti-V models meet Energy Star requirements and qualify for IRA tax credits. The product line includes multiple indoor unit types such as high wall, ducted, and cassette configurations.
Carrier has also introduced VPro, a web-based design and selection tool to assist professionals with system sizing and reporting.
“Opti-V represents the next evolution in Carrier’s heat pump portfolio,” said Paul Rebelo, Managing Director of Ductless and VRF at Carrier. “We’ve taken the best of what our customers loved about the variable refrigerant flow technology and elevated it under both Carrier and Toshiba Carrier brands—delivering a solution that’s smarter, quieter, and more adaptable to the demands of today’s homes and businesses.”
Opti-V systems include a 10-year limited parts and compressor warranty with timely registration.
