Innovation and the Leaders in
Environment Technology
Over 100 years ago, a humble but
determined engineer solved one of
mankind’s most elusive challenges by
controlling the indoor environment. A
leading engineer of his
day, Dr. Willis Carrier would
file more than 80 patents
over the course of his
career. His genius would
enable incredible advancements in 5
health care, manufacturing processes,
food preservation, art and historical
conservation, indoor comfort and
much more. 4
Carrier’s foresight changed the world
forever and paved the way for over a 1
century of once-impossible innovations.
Yet in addition to being an accomplished
inventor, he was also an avid outdoors-
man. Carrier recognized the power and 2
beauty of the natural environment. This
appreciation of our world and its
resources continues to guide Carrier

Corporation today. We will never rest on
our accomplishments, but instead
consistently look for ways to improve our
products, our environment and our world.

demonstrates our commitment to your What Efficiency Means to You
comfort with efficient heating and cooling
and the ability to provide enhanced Packaged gas furnace / air conditioner systems are powered by both gas and
comfort through dehumidification control. electricity. You can compare heating efficiencies of these systems by checking
the AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency). To compare cooling efficiencies,
check the SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) and EER (Energy Efficiency
Ratio) ratings. These ratings are available through your Carrier ® dealer or
manufacturer web sites. Using these ratings is a lot like miles per gallon for your
car – the higher the number, the more efficient the product and the greater
potential for savings. Actual system efficiency will vary depending on your home,
comfort preferences and more.
