In order to help homeowners shop for furnaces and air conditioners, we developed our own proprietary algorithms which weigh a range of criteria and factors to provide an easy-to-compare grade (e.g. B-, A+, etc).
Warranty Grade: It can be difficult to know which brands and models offer the best warranty coverage, particularly because a lot of the key details are hidden in dense warranty documents filled with hard to understand legalese. Thankfully for you, we’ve carefully studied them and created this grading system to account for things like the length AND quality of their guarantee, coverage restrictions and more!
Overall Grade: This grade weighs key factors like efficiency, ENERGY STAR certification, comfort, noise level (for A/Cs), our warranty grade, and more.

Features Overview
Technological compatibilities for advanced performance: The 24ANB6 has an excellent cooling capacity, but you can pair it with the IdealHumidity system to provide independent humidity control in your home. This will make your home more comfortable, make it so your air conditioner doesn’t have to work as hard, save you money, and increase the lifespan of the 24ANB6. And when controlled by the Infinity smart thermostat, you get even more control over your cooling system, including zone management, energy performance, and more.
Cleaner air: There are many standard features with the 24ANB6 that improve the air quality in your home, including a ventilator that brings in fresh outdoor air, an Air Cleaner purifier, and a UV lamp for the coil that prevents the growth of mold, bacteria, and other contaminants.
Quiet performance that doesn’t disrupt your routine: Quiet comfort is important to Carrier, so their Infinity models are all equipped with sound-reducing technologies that promise some of the quietest air conditioners on the market. The 24ANB6 has a sound-insulating blanket for the compressor, a special fan blade design that reduces noise, and components that have been engineered to reduce vibration and noise.
Other Key Features

Comparable Models by Carrier
Model Comparison by Price: Infinity 24ANB6 versus Comfort 24ABC6
As a premium model, the Infinity 24ANB6 is one of the more expensive air conditioners in the Carrier line. There are more economical models available, such as the Comfort 24ABC6. It similarly has a SEER rating of 16, a single-stage compressor, and the same warranty terms as the Infinity 24ANB6. However, it doesn’t have the same advanced diagnostics as the premium model, nor the same sound-reduction features, so it doesn’t operate as quietly.
Model Comparison by Features: Infinity 24ANB6 versus Performance 24ACC6
Even though the Performance 24ACC6 is a mid-tier offering from Carrier, it’s very similar to the Infinity 24ANB6 in many ways, including benefits, features, warranty terms, price, specifications, and SEER rating. Two of the only differences are that the Performance model isn't equipped with the advanced diagnostics, and it can't be paired with the Infinity control to provide the same enhanced management features.
Model Comparison by Tier: Infinity 24ANB6 versus Infinity 24VNA9
The Infinity 24ANB6 and 24VNA9 are both premium models, but the 24VNA9 is slightly more advanced and more expensive. A few of the advanced features and specifications include a lower decibel rating and a higher SEER rating. And just as importantly, the 24VNA9 has a variable-speed compressor, so it offers more precise humidity control, better temperature maintenance, and increased efficiency compared to the 24ANB6.
