INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 4,
2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on a two decade legacy of support for
Habitat for Humanity, Carrier will once again participate in
Habitat for Humanity's Jimmy & Rosalynn Carter Work Project.
Each year, hundreds of volunteers and future homeowners help build
a housing community alongside the former President and Mrs. Carter.
This year, the Carter Work Project is being held October 6-11 and will construct 21 affordable
homes in the north Nashville
neighborhood of Park Preserve. Carrier, a provider of
high-technology heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration
solutions, is a part of Carrier, a global provider of innovative
heating, ventilating and air conditioning (HVAC), refrigeration,
fire, security and building automation technologies. Carrier is a
unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE: UTX).
To support the project, Carrier will donate an
Infinity® 16 heat pump system to each Carter Work
Project Home, which will provide energy-efficient cooling and
heating. The system will be paired with an Infinity®
control, allowing for even greater potential energy savings with
features like advanced smart setback, Touch-N-Go®
program adjustments, and energy use tracking.
"We've been working with Habitat for Humanity for more than two
decades, and we're pleased to continue that legacy of support by
providing home comfort systems for the Carter Work Project again
this year," said Matthew Pine,
president, Residential HVAC, Carrier. "Habitat for Humanity
constantly strives to build their homes to be as energy efficient
as possible, and we're proud to assist them in this pursuit by
providing our ultra-efficient Infinity equipment."
"Habitat is fortunate to have the support of partners like
Carrier, who provide much-needed resources for projects of this
scale," said Julie Davis, vice
president for corporate and cause marketing, Habitat for Humanity.
"The combined efforts of the volunteers, the homeowners and program
partners mean that this year's Carter Work Project will help 21
Nashville households build strength, stability and self-reliance
through shelter."
This is Carrier's second consecutive year supporting the Carter
Work Project and in 2018 it provided heating and cooling systems
for the neighborhood that was constructed in St. Joseph County, Indiana. For the first
time, four of those homes achieved the classification of net zero
energy using Infinity heat pumps with Greenspeed®
intelligence, meaning they produce as much renewable energy as they
consume over the course of a year. Carrier also donated a mix of
Infinity® geothermal, ductless system and ducted split systems.
