Carrier’s Near Field Communication Technology Makes Market Debut
Carrier’s redesigned lineup of gas furnaces have begun shipping to consumers with near field communication – an addition to support the installation and servicing of its gas furnace portfolio.

- Built-in verifications for a quality install and fewer callbacks
- Detailed diagnostic information and troubleshooting tips
- Save favorite feature for repeat floorplans or multiunit installations
- Export report functionality.
Following the recent 2023-regulatory changes, the company relaunched its entry-tier line with competitive airflows and 18 speeds, maximizing cooling ratings. The mid-tier line-up, in addition to the entry-tier enhancements, now also features a seven-segment display for easier fault code readings. Additionally, the company’s gas furnace, with the entry and mid-tier enhancements updated, includes updated blower doors and Bluetooth added for improved servicing.
