Ductless mini-splits
Carrier Performance 26 37MARA Single-Zone Ductless System
Installed price varies far more by contractor and zone count than by brand — get real quotes, and see the equipment-only price on this product's own page.
Carrier-badged single-zone ductless system built on the Carrier Midea North America joint-venture platform, not an in-house Carrier design.
Our take
Worth stating plainly, the way this catalog already discloses the Daikin/Goodman platform-sharing on the heat-pump side: Carrier's residential ductless line comes out of Carrier Midea North America, a 2017 joint venture, not Carrier's own ducted-system engineering group. That doesn't make it a bad product, but it does mean the Carrier name here means less than it does on Carrier's ducted Infinity line.
Best for
Buyers already committed to a Carrier dealer relationship who want ductless from the same account.
Watch out for
Carrier ductless equipment is sold through a closed dealer network — expect to get a quote rather than a public price, and expect the same dealer-network lock-in this catalog already flags for Carrier's ducted line.
How it performs by climate zone
Heating capability against each zone's 99% winter design temperature.
| Zone | Design temp | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| 3C — Warm – Marine | 36°F | Strong fit Rated to -13°F, comfortably below this zone's 36°F design temperature. |
| 4A — Mixed – Humid | 14°F | Strong fit Rated to -13°F, comfortably below this zone's 14°F design temperature. |
| 4B — Mixed – Dry | 18°F | Strong fit Rated to -13°F, comfortably below this zone's 18°F design temperature. |
| 4C — Mixed – Marine | 27°F | Strong fit Rated to -13°F, comfortably below this zone's 27°F design temperature. |
| 5A — Cool – Humid | 2°F | Strong fit Rated to -13°F, comfortably below this zone's 2°F design temperature. |
| 5B — Cool – Dry | 3°F | Strong fit Rated to -13°F, comfortably below this zone's 3°F design temperature. |
| 6A — Cold – Humid | -8°F | Workable Rated to -13°F against a -8°F design temperature — enough margin, though backup heat will run on the coldest days. |
| 6B — Cold – Dry | -10°F | Marginal Rated to -13°F with a -10°F design temperature leaves almost no margin. Expect backup heat to carry a meaningful share of the load. |
| 7 — Very Cold | -20°F | Not suitable Rated only to -13°F, but this zone's design temperature is -20°F. |
| 8 — Subarctic | -40°F | Not suitable Rated only to -13°F, but this zone's design temperature is -40°F. |

Before you buy this
Ask the contractor for the AHRI certificate number for the specific indoor/outdoor combination being installed — ratings apply to matched pairs, not to the outdoor unit alone. Ask whether they will perform a Manual J load calculation rather than sizing off the equipment being replaced. And check your state and utility incentive programmes: there is no federal tax credit for a 2026 installation, so those programmes are now the only incentive money available, and many require approval before installation.
