Innovation and the
Leaders in

Over 100 years ago, a humble but
deter mined engineer solved one of
mankind’s most elusive chal lenges by
controlling the indoor environme nt. A
leading engine er of his
day, Dr. Willis Carrier would
ile more than 80 patent s
f
over the cours e of his
career. His genius w ould
enable incredible advan cements in
health care, manufactur ing proce sses,
food preservation, art and historical
conservation, indoor comfort an d
much more.
Carrier’s foresight changed the worl d
forever and paved the w ay for over a
century of once-impossible inno vations.
Yet in add ition to being an accompli shed
inventor, he was also an avid outdoo rsman. Carrier recognized the power and
beauty of the natural environment. This
appreciation of our wor ld and its
resources continues to guide Car rier
Corporation to day. We will never rest on
our accomplish ments, but instead
consistently l ook for ways to improve our
products, our environment and ou r world.

Sure, you could open a window or door in your hom e to let the fresh air inside.
Unfor tunately, as heated or cooled air escapes, your comfort system wo rks a little
harder, and costs yo u money in lost efficiency. Carrie r Perfor mance series HRVs
and ERVs are designed to expel s tale, polluted indoor air and refresh your home
with clean, ou tside air. These units maintain higher energy efficiency b y
recovering heat or ener gy from t he outgoing air and transf erring it to fresh,
incoming air. This allows the incomi ng air to more closely match the tempe rature
of air circulating through your home. By minimizing heat l oss and helping
maintain proper humidit y, these units can maximi ze energy efficiency while
lowering utili ty costs.
