Product Overview

Two-Stage Carrier Heating for More Consistent Comfort

The Carrier Performance Gas Furnace is designed for homeowners who want better temperature control, quieter performance, and more advanced airflow than a basic single-stage furnace.

The Performance 96, model 59TP6, uses a two-stage gas valve. During normal heating conditions, the furnace can operate at a lower output for longer periods. When outdoor temperatures fall or the home requires more heat, it can switch to full capacity. Carrier states that the furnace may remain in its lower heating stage for up to 90% of its operating time.

Its variable 25-speed blower motor adjusts airflow based on system demand. This helps maintain steadier temperatures, reduce operational noise, support connected cooling equipment, and improve summer humidity management.

Comfort Heat Technology® uses information from previous heating cycles to help anticipate heating demand and reduce temperature fluctuations. SmartEvap™ technology also helps limit moisture from being returned to the home after a cooling cycle.

When paired with an ecobee for Carrier Smart Thermostat and the required data-sharing permissions, InteliSense™ Technology can provide equipment-performance information to the servicing dealer for diagnostics and system monitoring.

This System May Be Right for You If:

  • You want more consistent heating than a single-stage furnace.

  • You prefer quieter operation during normal heating conditions.

  • You want a high-efficiency furnace with up to 96.7% AFUE.

  • You value variable-speed airflow and improved humidity control.

  • You want compatible connected monitoring and diagnostics.

  • You need professional sizing, venting, airflow setup, and installation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about the Carrier Performance Gas Furnace.

What makes the Carrier Performance Furnace different from the Comfort Series?

The Performance 96 offers two-stage heating and a variable-speed blower, while the Comfort model uses simpler single-stage heating. This can provide steadier temperatures, quieter operation, and improved airflow control.

Carrier lists the Performance 96 at up to 96.7% AFUE, meaning up to 96.7% of the fuel used is converted into usable heating energy.

Two-stage heating allows the furnace to operate at a lower output during normal conditions and switch to full capacity when more heat is required. Carrier states that the Performance 96 may operate in low stage for up to 90% of its heating cycles.

The blower motor provides multiple airflow settings that adjust based on system demand. This can improve comfort, reduce noise, support cooling efficiency, and help manage indoor humidity.

When paired with a compatible ecobee for Carrier Smart Thermostat and data-sharing permissions, InteliSense™ can provide performance information to the servicing dealer for diagnostics and system monitoring.
