Bryant Evolution Extreme Systems
The Evolution system is an advanced communicating system, capable of delivering high-efficiency performance and total home comfort in both warm and cold conditions. With an Evolution system, you have more control of temperature, humidity, indoor air quality, fan speed and ventilation in your home.
Who Is Bryant & Evolution Systems?
Bryant Heating & Cooling Systems, our No. 2 Best HVAC Company of 2022, is one of the pioneers of the heating and cooling industry. According to professional reviewers, it sells some of the best HVAC systems on the market. Owned by Carrier, Bryant offers an almost identical lineup to Carrier. In addition to air conditioners, heat pumps, and furnaces, it sells ductless systems, geothermal heat pumps, air purifiers, and other heating and cooling products.
Bryant dates back to 1904 when Charles Bryant founded the Natural Gas Regulator Company in Cleveland, Ohio. Eventually, the company became Bryant Heater & Manufacturing, which was sold in 1934 to Dresser Industries. After a series of purchases and mergers, Bryant’s then parent company, Affiliated Gas Equipment, merged with Carrier in 1955.
Today, Bryant operates under the umbrella of Carrier Global Corporation. Both companies’ HVAC systems are made in the same factories with the same parts. Although most of their models are identical, you’ll pay slightly less for the Bryant system.
Bryant & Evolution Review
U.S. News Rating Ranked #2 in Best HVAC Companies of 2022
Best for:
✅ Anyone who wants a Carrier-quality HVAC system for less
✅ Those looking for an exceptionally quiet system
✅ Homeowners concerned about energy efficiency
Bryant Heating & Cooling Systems has been owned by Carrier Global Corporation, it’s no surprise that Bryant comes in at No. 2 in our rating, just behind Carrier. Both are made in the same factory with the same parts. Except a few models, the only real difference between the lines is the brand name and slightly lower price tag. However, advances and new technologies typically debut in the Carrier line before popping up in Bryant systems.
Bryant’s top-tier air conditioner features an inverter-driven compressor and a sound blanket that reduces its noise to as low as 51 decibels. Its furnaces deliver consistent comfort at a level of up to 98.3% Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE), just slightly behind Carrier’s top performance of 98.5% AFUE. Reviewers say that if you want Carrier quality but are on a budget, you should consider its Bryant equivalent.
Bryant Product Lines
Bryant products come in three series: Evolution, Preferred, and Legacy. The air conditioners, heat pumps, and furnaces in its Evolution series are the company’s highest-performing models, while those in the Preferred line deliver some of its energy-efficient features at a lower price. The Legacy series consists of the company’s budget-friendly models.
All Bryant air conditioners and heat pumps use either single-stage, two-stage, or variable-speed compressors. They also feature Puron, Carrier’s non-ozone depleting R-410a refrigerant. The company’s furnaces all have single-, two-, or modulating-stage gas valves and variable-, multi-, or fixed-speed blowers. In addition to air conditioners, heat pumps, and furnaces, Bryant sells smart thermostats, geothermal heat pumps, air purifiers, dehumidifiers, CO alarms, and UV lamps. It also has a line of light commercial systems.
Even though the Bryant is less expensive than Carrier, the company’s units can still cost more than some other brands, especially if you opt for a model in the Evolution series. Reviewers say that budget shoppers are getting a good deal with the Legacy series if they don’t mind lower energy efficiency. In fact, Bryant includes wireless thermostat capability in its Legacy series air conditioners and heat pumps, something most of its competitors in this price range do not. Across the board, reviewers feel that Bryant systems rank among the best in the industry. However, they complain that the warranty should be better given the cost. Most Bryant products come with a 10-year limited warranty on specified parts if you register your unit within 90 days. Some Evolution products have a warranty that will replace the entire unit if the compressor or heat exchanger fails within 10 years.
How Much Does Bryant Cost?
Bryant doesn't provide pricing information to consumers. This is because the systems are purchased through a Bryant authorized HVAC dealer, which increases the price to cover labor, taxes, and its profit margin. Other factors go into your final price as well, such as the size of your house, whether you need duct added or replaced, and any additional features you decide to add to the system, like an air purifier.
Reviewers say on average you can expect to pay between $15,000 to $18,000 for an installed Bryant air conditioner and $6,700 to $9,000 for an installed natural gas furnace. Most of Bryant’s units qualify for federal tax credits of $300 for air conditioners and heat pumps and $15 for furnaces. Additionally, units may qualify for local tax credits.
Because a new HVAC system is a substantial investment, Bryant offers financing with approved credit from Wells Fargo Bank. Your local Bryant HVAC contractor may also have financing options or offer special financing promotions.
Does Bryant have a warranty?

Typically, Bryant products, if registered within 90 days, come with a 10-year standard parts limited warranty; otherwise 5 years.
