Carrier’s full line up of gas furnaces, gas or electric small package products (SPP) and SPP Hybrid Heat systems have been redesigned to meet the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Fan Energy Rating (FER).

Carrier’s products with new fan technology use less energy and achieve the goals of the new FER regulations, targeting a 46 per cent watt reduction over a standard furnace with a permanent split capacitor (PSC) blower motor. By reducing energy consumption, consumers can save money on energy bills and cut carbon pollution. “As an HVAC manufacturer, it is absolutely critical we comply with regulatory requirements and evaluate any new regulation from the DOE to ensure it is technologically feasible and economically justified,” said John Gibbons, Executive Director, Regulatory Affairs, Carrier. “Carrier is more than ready with a fully re-engineered line-up of gas heating products and an outstanding network of Carrier distributors and contractors to reach consumers.” Carrier innovated its entire product line in order to achieve compliance with the new FER regulations.
