Designed with Your Comfort in Mind

Carrier's Performance Series whole-home dehumidifiers offer advanced moisture control, designed to work as part of your home's central heating and air conditioning system or as an optional stand-alone unit. They provide exceptional versatility for soothing summer comfort and healthier indoor air.

HUMIDITY MANAGEMENT

Humidity from cooking, bathing, showering, outside air, normal breathing, and perspiration can build up inside your home, affecting both comfort and indoor air quality. ?

COMFORT

Your air conditioner or heat pump dehumidifies your home during the cooling process. A Performance Series whole-home dehumidifier draws additional moisture from indoor air for increased comfort from your cooling system and helps it run more efficiently. ▶️

HEALTHIER AIR

Keeping humidity under wraps can improve the quality of the air you breathe by helping keep musty odors, dust mite matter, and some allergens under control. It can also protect against warping or structural damage to wood flooring or furnishings. ✔️

VERSATILITY

As a stand-alone solution, our Performance Series dehumidifier can easily address humidity in problem areas such as a basement, crawl space, or attic. Or, as a whole-home solution, the unit is connected to your home's heating and cooling system to provide a convenient, effective whole-home dehumidification solution. In a whole-home solution setup, it can also provide fresh air ventilation when connected to the HVAC system. ?

EFFICIENCY

Keeping summertime humidity in check can help you feel more comfortable without overcooling your home. You might even be able to turn the thermostat up a few degrees to help save on energy costs. ?

LIMITED WARRANTY

To the original owner, our Performance Series whole-home dehumidifiers are covered by a five-year parts limited warranty. See warranty certificate at carrier.com for complete details and restrictions. ?️

Carrier whole-home dehumidifiers meet stringent ENERGY STAR® requirements and have been awarded the ENERGY STAR MOST EFFICIENT 2025 designation. Products carrying this distinction have been recognized for their outstanding energy efficiency and technological innovation.

The Carrier Difference

Carrier Performance Series whole-home dehumidifiers are built with a commitment to quality. The aluminum coil provides lasting dehumidification with corrosion-resistant construction that extends the life of the refrigeration system. The unit operates effectively using a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) refrigerant per EPA regulations. An included MERV 8 filter helps keep the coil and motor free from dust and debris, ensuring optimal system performance. ⚙️

APPLICATION VERSATILITY

Carrier dehumidifiers offer real solutions to meet a variety of installation needs.

Ducted to the Heating and Cooling System*

As a whole-home approach, the dehumidifier is integrated into your heating and cooling system. Installed in an attic, closet, basement, crawlspace, or garage, this application is the most effective way to combat oppressive humidity in the entire home.

Ducted Stand Alone*

Our dehumidifiers can also be installed as a ducted dehumidification solution when placed in a specific problem area of the home, such as the basement, crawlspace, or attic, as a stand-alone solution to quietly remove moisture and improve indoor comfort.

Controlling Your Comfort

As a stand-alone solution, a Performance Series dehumidifier is easy to operate using the convenient on-board control. For your convenience, an optional external control can be installed in a more centralized location. Alternatively, when the dehumidifier is integrated into your heating and cooling system, you can control it using a compatible Carrier thermostat. Consult your local Carrier dealer to determine the best control option for your needs.
