Since being founded by the inventor of modern air conditioning, Willis Carrier, the organisation has been at the forefront of innovation creating solutions that matter for people.

Globally, Carrier recorded net sales of $22.5B in 2024, with over 80% coming from HVAC. Carrier is present in over 160 countries, employees approximately 48,000 people, and has over 14,000 active patents and pending patents applications worldwide.

Carrier’s full lifecycle HVAC solutions in the UK

The Carrier Commercial HVAC business in the UK provides end-to-end lifecycle asset management solutions, ensuring customers have access to efficient, high-performance HVAC equipment, such as chillers, air handling units and heat pumps, as well as temporary rental solutions and long-term maintenance services.

Carrier in healthcare

Hospital owners and facility management teams will find peace of mind, efficiency, reliability and comfort in Carrier capabilities to meet cooling and heating challenges for both healthcare facilities and research laboratories.

Air quality

Carrier solutions can help to ensure and maintain a highly controlled microclimate, regulating the temperature and humidity levels, as well as ensuring optimal indoor air quality (filtration efficiency levels, management of CO2 levels).

Free cooling

For healthcare facilities that operate 24 hours a day 7 days a week, demands for cooling potentially exist throughout the entire year. This can be extremely costly. Carrier’s patented Carrier DX free cooling can offer significant energy savings without need for the use of glycol or extra free cooling coils and controls.

Heat recovery

Carrier offers a range of heat recovery options, including high efficiency heat recovery on air handling units and desuperheaters or heat recovery condensers on chiller systems to contribute to reduced heating energy usage.

System control

Hospitals often have dedicated control rooms to monitor the proper operation of all equipment in the entire building. Thanks to the availability of open protocol communication interfaces, Carrier equipment can be easily integrated in the building management system on site and, thanks to Carrier® PlantCTRL™, owners and plant managers may benefit from optimised control of the HVAC system plant room to reduce energy consumption and ensure continued delivery of comfort and air quality. In addition, Carrier designs, engineers and implements custom-made Thermal Energy Storage (TES) solutions for HVAC systems with peak cooling demand > 500 kW. 100% smart grid compatible, the TES solution reduces the capacity of the chillers by 30% to 70%, secures the cooling production and optimises occupants’ comfort.

Making decarbonisation possible

As the UK intensifies its efforts to combat climate change, the decarbonisation of commercial properties remains a challenge.

The development of Carrier’s AquaSnap® 61AQ using natural refrigerant R-290 was driven by the pressing need to offer a sustainable alternative to traditional fossil fuel-based heating systems.

The AquaSnap® 61AQ offers a viable, high-performance alternative capable of meeting the rigorous demands of extreme climates. Unlike hybrid systems, which rely on supplementary fossil fuel heating, the AquaSnap® 61AQ offers building owners the ability to replace gas boilers outright.

Carrier focused on creating a solution that ensures long-term reliability, high temperature, best in class efficiency, and adaptability. The AquaSnap® 61AQ’s modular design further enhances its appeal, allowing it to be configured to specific customer needs. Multiple units can be installed in series to deliver a higher capacity while maintaining a compact footprint. This scalability ensures the AquaSnap® 61AQ can support projects of varying sizes, from single-building applications to district heating networks.

With a nearly zero Global Warming Potential (GWP) and the absence of harmful byproducts like PFAS, R-290 offers long-term sustainability, improved efficiency, and high operational performance to reach temperatures of up to 75°C.

Carrier’s approach to product development, prioritising performance and reliability, ensures that the AquaSnap® 61AQ is more than just a heat pump; it’s an intelligent building solution for a more sustainable future.
