Carrier Reports Successful CCHP Phase 1 Testing

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 2, 2022 —  Sources for Carrier have reported the company is ready for phase two of the Department of Energy’s Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge, which is field testing its prototype heat pump in a harsh climate. 

“We’re pleased with the lab performance of our prototype heat pump and the final test results,” said Justin Keppy, President, NA Residential & Light Commercial HVAC, Carrier. “Our team of dedicated engineers and product managers are hard at work continuing to develop next generation heat pumps to increase efficiency, save

consumers money and benefit the environment. The federal incentives offered through the Inflation Reduction Act are critical to the adoption of high-efficiency heat pumps, and Carrier is committed to delivering innovative climate-friendly technologies.”

To participate in the challenge, Carrier committed to producing a heat pump with increased cold climate performance, increased heating capacity at lower ambient temperatures, higher efficiency across a range of climate conditions, and advanced controls to adjust usage on demand.

Carrier sources say heat pumps are becoming more popular as part of decarbonization efforts in more progressive states of California, Washington and New York, and local rebate programs. Sources added that the launch of Carrier's EcoHome^TM program will make the transition from low-efficiency units to high-efficiency heat pumps a cost-effective decision.Advancements in heat pump technologies are critical to supporting these initiatives and driving adoption, sources said.
