Carrier and Leap Team Up to Launch Smart Energy Management Program, Helping Homeowners Save Energy, Earn Rewards, and Reduce Carbon Emissions

Carrier is helping homeowners achieve their sustainability goals by partnering with Leap to launch SmartSave, an innovative smart energy management program in major states California, New York, and Texas. This program is designed to help homeowners save on energy costs, earn rewards, and contribute to reducing carbon emissions—all while enhancing the resiliency of the power grid. Carrier is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.

This collaboration provides homeowners with access to advanced tools that automatically optimize HVAC energy use during peak demand or grid events, reducing strain on the grid without compromising comfort. With the Carrier SmartHome app, homeowners can monitor and adjust their thermostat settings during grid events, keeping control while enjoying a comfortable home. Small temperature adjustments through SmartSave create a meaningful impact, improving grid stability and reducing reliance on fossil fuels during high-demand periods—while earning rewards.

SmartSave features real-time energy savings tracking and automated HVAC controls, empowering homeowners to monitor progress and participate in grid events for rewards. This creates a win-win scenario for both the environment and homeowners' wallets. By participating, homeowners help stabilize the grid and promote overall resiliency, supporting Carrier’s ongoing commitment to a more sustainable future through smart technology integration. Carrier is investing $4 billion by the end of 2030 in the innovation and development of intelligent climate and energy solutions that reduce environmental impacts and help customers avoid more than 1 gigaton of greenhouse gas emissions.

“We’re proud to launch SmartSave with Leap, providing homeowners with a smart, simple way to reduce carbon emissions and support grid resiliency,” said Nick Arch, Vice President and General Manager, Residential HVAC Solutions at Carrier. “This program reflects our commitment to sustainability by empowering consumers to make a meaningful impact with their energy use for the benefit of the environment. It’s an easy-to-use energy management solution that paves the way for a smarter, more sustainable energy future.”

“SmartSave represents an exciting step beyond traditional energy efficiency, enabling homeowners to play an active role in creating a cleaner, more flexible power grid,” said Jason Michaels, CEO at Leap. “With Leap’s automated technology working behind the scenes to unlock access to grid program opportunities, Carrier is delivering an innovative energy offering for its customers that’s good for the grid, good for the climate, and good for customers’ wallets.”
