"After proving our innovation in the lab, we're thrilled to show how it performs in operating commercial environments. Our engineering and project development teams have created a solution built to perform where it matters most," said Heidi Gehring, Managing Director, Light Commercial, Carrier. "These field trials are the final step before launching a high-performance product designed to strengthen
Carrier's new 10-14-ton rooftop heat pump unit has been installed at a large national retailer in upstate
In addition, Carrier's 15-ton rooftop unit is undergoing testing at the DOE's Oak Ridge National Laboratory in
The DOE's Commercial Building HVAC Technology Challenge is designed to accelerate adoption of advanced HVAC equipment that lowers energy use and operating costs while supporting grid reliability through lower demand. The program includes two light commercial product categories — 10-14 tons and 15-25 tons — with Carrier participating in both as part of its broader commitment to innovation and helping customers reach their sustainability and cost-saving goals.
Across independent testing conducted by the DOE, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and NREL, Carrier's rooftop heat pump systems have met or exceeded targets for IVHE, IVHEc and COPs, reinforcing confidence in their readiness for scaled commercial deployment, including strong cold-climate operation.
