About Carrier
Carrier invented modern air conditioning in 1902 when Willis Carrier designed the first mechanical cooling system. Over 120 years later, Carrier remains a global leader in heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems. Based in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Carrier manufactures residential and commercial HVAC equipment including furnaces, central air conditioners, and ducted and ductless heat pumps distributed across 160 countries.
Carrier controls significant HVAC market share through its portfolio of premium and mid-range brands. The company owns Bryant and Heil directly, plus manages Payne, Day & Night, Comfortmaker, and other brands through its International Comfort Products (ICP) subsidiary. For Colorado homeowners, Carrier's Infinity series heat pumps feature Greenspeed intelligence with variable-speed compressors that maintain efficiency in cold weather and high-altitude conditions.
As an independent publicly traded company since 2020 (formerly part of United Technologies), Carrier combines decades of innovation with modern energy-efficient technology. Carrier heat pumps qualify for Xcel Energy rebates up to $4,000 and federal 25C tax credits up to $2,000, making premium Carrier equipment more accessible for Denver-area homeowners upgrading from gas furnaces.
