Working For A Better World... Inside & Out

Packing Power Into Smaller Packages

The energy consumed by heating and cooling equipment when in full operation is just one measure of its efficiency. As an environmentally-responsible company, Carrier also pays close attention to the raw materials consumed as the equipment is manufactured, transported and installed.

Many of Carrier’s newest commercial and residential units are the smallest ever built by the company. At 40 inches in height, the WeatherMaker furnaces not only save space, but require less resources to produce. For instance, a new Carrier Evergreen chiller with a cooling capacity of 800 tons weighs about 30,000 pounds less than competitive chillers of the same capacity. And the Visionaire room air conditioner is so compact it compares in size to a 12-pack of canned sodas. These smaller units require less raw material to build ... less energy to transport ... and fewer components for installation. That’s good news for the outdoor environment.
