InteliSense™ Defrost
All four Performance™ models use InteliSense™ technology to monitor outdoor conditions and initiate defrost cycles only when needed — reducing energy waste and maintaining heating output during Chicago winters.
Heating Down to Low Temps
Performance™ heat pumps maintain effective heating output at outdoor temperatures well below freezing. For Chicago's coldest nights, D's Air & Heating, Inc. recommends pairing with a gas furnace backup.
Variable & Two-Stage Options
The 27VPA9 variable-speed model delivers the most precise capacity control and highest efficiency. The 27TPA8 two-stage model offers an excellent balance of efficiency and value.
10-Year Extended Warranty
All Performance™ heat pumps qualify for Carrier's 10-year extended parts warranty when registered within 90 days by D's Air & Heating, Inc. — including 10-year compressor coverage.
Coastal Model Available
The 27TPA8C Coastal model includes enhanced corrosion protection for homes near Lake Michigan or other bodies of water where salt air and moisture accelerate coil corrosion.
Communicating System Ready
All Performance™ heat pumps communicate with Carrier Performance™ and Infinity® thermostats for smarter control, energy monitoring, and fault diagnostics.
Flexible financing options for qualified homeowners on all Carrier Performance™ heat pump installations.
The Carrier Performance Series heat pump offers Chicago homeowners an efficient, year-round comfort solution that handles both heating and cooling from a single outdoor unit. With SEER2 ratings that exceed federal minimums and two-stage operation on select models, the Performance Series delivers solid efficiency and comfort at a mid-range price point. D's Air & Heating, Inc., an Authorized Carrier Installation Dealer, installs Carrier Performance Series heat pumps throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
Heat pumps work by moving heat rather than generating it — extracting warmth from outdoor air and transferring it inside during winter, then reversing the process to cool your home in summer. This process is significantly more energy-efficient than electric resistance heating, and in Chicago's moderate shoulder seasons (spring and fall), a heat pump can deliver comfortable heating at a fraction of the cost of running a gas furnace. For homeowners looking to reduce energy costs and lower their carbon footprint, a Carrier heat pump is a smart investment.
Many Chicago homeowners pair a Carrier Performance heat pump with an existing gas furnace in a dual-fuel configuration. The heat pump handles heating duties efficiently during mild and moderate temperatures, while the furnace takes over during the coldest stretches of winter. This combination maximizes efficiency across the full range of Chicago weather conditions and can qualify for federal energy efficiency tax credits.
D's Air & Heating's licensed technicians are trained on Carrier's full heat pump lineup. We perform precise refrigerant charging, electrical connections, and system startup testing on every installation. As an authorized Carrier dealer, we activate your full manufacturer warranty at installation.
Financing is available. Call (773) 940-0965 or request a free estimate online. We serve Chicago's West Side, Oak Park, Berwyn, Cicero, and communities throughout Cook County.

Chicago's climate presents a unique challenge for heat pump selection. Winters are cold enough to push older heat pump technology to its limits, while summers are hot and humid enough to demand serious cooling capacity. The Carrier Performance Series heat pump is engineered to handle both — delivering efficient cooling during Chicago's humid summers and reliable heating during the shoulder seasons, with a gas furnace backup option for the coldest winter days.

Heat pumps typically last 15–20 years. Signs that replacement is more cost-effective than repair include: system age over 12 years, refrigerant leaks requiring recharge, compressor failure, or a system that struggles to maintain comfortable temperatures in either heating or cooling mode. If your heat pump uses R-22 refrigerant (no longer manufactured), replacement is strongly recommended.
Upgrading to a modern Carrier Performance heat pump can reduce your annual heating and cooling energy costs significantly compared to older single-stage equipment. D's Air & Heating, Inc. provides honest repair-vs-replace assessments — if repair is the right answer, we'll tell you.
A new Carrier system is a significant investment — and D's Air & Heating, Inc. offers flexible financing options to make it more accessible.

Can a Carrier Performance heat pump handle Chicago winters?
The Carrier Performance Series heat pump is designed for moderate climates. For Chicago's coldest days, we recommend pairing it with a gas furnace in a dual-fuel configuration — the heat pump handles mild temperatures efficiently while the furnace takes over during extreme cold.
What is a dual-fuel heat pump system?
A dual-fuel system combines a Carrier heat pump with a gas furnace. The heat pump handles heating efficiently during mild and moderate temperatures, while the furnace takes over during the coldest winter days — maximizing efficiency and comfort year-round.
How long does a Carrier Performance heat pump installation take?
A standard heat pump replacement typically takes 4–6 hours. Dual-fuel system setups may take longer. D's Air & Heating, Inc. will give you a time estimate before the job begins.
Does Carrier require professional installation for the warranty?
Yes. Carrier's manufacturer warranty requires installation by an authorized dealer. As an Authorized Carrier Installation Dealer, D's Air & Heating, Inc. activates your full warranty at installation.
Do Carrier Performance heat pumps qualify for federal tax credits?
Many Carrier heat pump models qualify for the federal energy-efficient home improvement tax credit. D's Air & Heating, Inc. will advise on available incentives at the time of your free estimate.
What is the difference between a heat pump and a traditional AC?
A heat pump provides both heating and cooling from one system. In cooling mode it works like a standard AC. In heating mode it extracts heat from outdoor air and transfers it inside — significantly more efficient than electric resistance heating.
Do I need a service contract to keep my Carrier warranty valid?
No. D's Air & Heating, Inc. never requires a service contract. Your Carrier manufacturer warranty is valid without a maintenance agreement.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my heat pump?
If your system is over 12 years old, uses R-22 refrigerant, or repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost, replacement is usually more cost-effective. D's Air & Heating, Inc. provides honest assessments with no pressure to buy.
What areas does D's Air & Heating, Inc. serve?
We serve Chicago and surrounding communities including Oak Lawn, Orland Park, Tinley Park, Palos Heights, Bridgeview, Hickory Hills, Burbank, Evergreen Park, Alsip, Crestwood, Homer Glen, Oak Park, Berwyn, and Cicero.
