Carrier Introduces Hybrid
Heat System as Expert Solution to Extraordinary Gas Prices.
Homeowners Can Turn to
the Experts to Embrace Energy Efficiency
 INDIANAPOLIS,
IND. – Strengthening its position as a leader in innovative heating and
air conditioning systems, Carrier Corporation, a unit of United Technologies
Corp. (NYSE: UTX), recently introduced the next advancement in the growing
trend of energy efficient products – a Hybrid Heat™ system. With fuel and
energy costs continuing to rise, and a colder than predicted winter hitting
many parts of the country, homeowners are becoming increasingly apprehensive
about properly heating their homes. A Hybrid Heat system is a fuel-saving
alternative to traditional heating and air conditioning systems that combines
a furnace with a heat pump, rather than an air conditioner. This marks
Carrier’s latest innovation in its commitment to the conservation of energy
and total comfort solutions for homeowners.
“For
homeowners, the end of inexpensive heating gas and oil and the concern
over energy efficiency has become a reality,” says Halsey Cook, president,
Carrier Residential and Light Commercial, North America. “A Hybrid Heat
system is the next phase in responsible treatment of our environment by
reducing energy consumption, which will help to lower monthly heating bills
this winter.”
Happy Homes, Healthy Environment
The
secret behind a Hybrid Heat system is Carrier’s state-of-the-art heat pump.
A heat pump works as an air conditioner in hot weather, but can also reverse
the process and heat the home when cold weather arrives. Rather than burning
fuel to generate heat, the heat pump moves heat without a flame, making
it a more efficient method of heating a home. Additionally, some Carrier
heat pumps feature Puron® non-ozone-depleting refrigerant, making them
an environmentally sound option.
Traditionally,
heat pumps, which operate using electricity, are most popular in warmer
regions where temperatures do not typically dip as low as they would in
colder climates during the winter months. In colder regions, homeowners
frequently need a furnace because temperatures often drop below freezing
in the winter. However, with the elevated price of oil and gas, heating
with a gas furnace or oil furnace may be more expensive than using electricity.
“The
rising price of gas and oil has spurred a great interest in alternative
heating solutions this winter,” said Tim Perry, manager, Carrier heating
products. “A Hybrid Heat system will allow homeowners to save money for
years to come, since they can always choose which source of heat they would
like to use, based on the cost of gas and electricity.”
