Gas Furnace Capital of the World
Carrier started manufacturing gas furnaces in Indianapolis in 1967. Our factory in Indianapolis employs over 1,500 Hoosiers and is one of the biggest gas furnace plants on the planet, with close to 550,000 square feet and the capacity to produce up to 5,000 furnaces daily. Over 92,000 dealers and more than 200 distributors across the United States sell our units.
Workforce Development
To support the nearly 85,000 HVAC technicians that our dealers employ, Carrier’s Technical Training Center in Indianapolis has delivered nearly 10,000 hours of onsite hands-on training in its first year.
Our Carrier Excellence operating goals drive every single step of our manufacturing and quality control process. We measure delivery time to customers, safety ratings, quality, and internal and external environmental sustainability.
Our company-wide sustainability efforts have significantly reduced gas emissions, industrial process waste, and water consumption.
Vibration Room
In this lab, we analyze vibration generated by moving parts in heating and cooling systems. This includes motors, fan blades, blowers, and compressors, which all have movement and the potential to vibrate. Over time, vibration can cause component fatigue, which can lead to failure. By measuring vibration and making design changes, homeowners can rest easy, knowing they have our most innovative and trusted products.
Psychrometric Test Chambers
This is where we study how temperature and humidity affect our products’ performance and their ability to heat and cool your home. By replicating indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity conditions, we’re able to measure our products’ performance to ensure they’re reliable, to optimize efficiencies, and to test for UL certification.
Manifold Robot
We rely on automation to ensure consistency as we imagine and build new products—one way we do that is by using robots. Our manifold robot assembles the gas valve and orifices to the manifold to create the manifold assembly. This process has improved efficiency and productivity, while significantly increasing quality.
Here we address feedback from customers, dealers, and distributors as part of our continual feedback process, by testing and analyzing returned parts to help optimize product designs. For example, if we receive feedback that a coil has a leak, we can submerge it in water to locate, validate, and determine the root cause to better provide solutions.
