Carrier makes residential, commercial and industrial boilers, central air conditioners, gas and oil furnaces, heat pumps and more. The company also sells a line of furnace filters.

Carrier, headquartered in Farmington, CT, owns International Comfort Products and Bryant Heating and Cooling and is itself owned by United Technologies Corporation (UTC). According to UTC's most recent annual report, Carrier saw 2011 sales at $11,969 million, up from $11,386 million the year before. The manufacturer's operating profit likewise increased from 2010 to 2011, coming in at $1,520 million. The 2011 annual report notes that Carrier saw gains in part as a result of growth in its HVAC operations in South America.

Corporate History

Willis Carrier invented the first air conditioning system, and then went on to found Carrier Engineering Corporation in 1915. United Technologies Corporation acquired Carrier in 1979.

Today, Carrier's manufacturing processes are spread across six continents, and include 67 production plants and research facilities in North America, Latin America, Europe, and the Asia Pacific region. The company reportedly employs more than 66,000 people worldwide.

Carrier has sold several of its HVAC brands in the past few years. In 2010 it sold oil heating equipment manufacturer Dettson to the Ouellet Group.
