Carrier has launched its newly branded Opti-V system, a next-generation variable refrigerant flow heat pump solution.
Opti-V is designed to deliver exceptional efficiency, zoning flexibility, and near quiet performance for residential and light commercial applications.
Offered under both the Carrier and Toshiba Carrier brands, the Opti-V system reinforces the company's commitment to innovation, sustainability, and customer-focused design.
The Carrier Opti-V system supports up to nine indoor units with a single outdoor unit, offering precise temperature control and energy savings.
With SEER2 ratings up to 29.7 and HSPF2 up to 12.2, it delivers reliable heating in temperatures as low as -22°F and cooling in conditions up to 122°F.
Its compact footprint and extended piping lengths—up to 984 feet—make it ideal for zero-lot-line applications and complex installations.
Sound levels as low as 31 dB(A) for indoor units and 56 dB(A) for outdoor units ensure near quiet operation across all environments.
The system is compatible with Puron Advance refrigerant and qualifies for Energy Star making it a sustainable choice for modern building needs.
With a wide range of capacities and configurations—including high wall, ducted, and cassette options—Opti-V offers unmatched flexibility for dealers and contractors, according to Paul Rebelo, managing director of Ductless and VRF at Carrier.
“Opti-V represents the next evolution in Carrier’s heat pump portfolio,” he said.
“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.”
To support project design and quoting, Carrier also introduces VPro, a web-based selection software that simplifies system sizing and reporting, helping streamline the entire process for professionals.
Opti-V systems come with a 10-year limited parts and compressor warranty upon timely registration, offering peace of mind and long-term value.
