Bryant, a leading provider of high-quality heating, ventilation, and air conditioning solutions, is proud to announce the successful conclusion of its 120th anniversary celebration, having raised $113,000 in support to food banks affiliated with Feeding America.

Over the course of 2024, Bryant employees, distributors, and dealers collectively raised money for Feeding America.

“We are incredibly proud of the impact we were able to make in our 120th year,” said Nick Arch, Vice President and General Manager, Residential HVAC Solutions, Bryant. “Exceeding our volunteering goal was a testament to the generosity and strength of the Bryant network. Our commitment to supporting Feeding America will continue to grow as we work together to ensure that no one goes hungry.”
Throughout the year, Bryant’s employees, and affiliates packed food donations, supported mobile pantries, drive-thru pantries, and other food distribution efforts, and launched a social media campaign. These efforts were aimed at providing immediate assistance while also raising long-term awareness about the issue of food insecurity.
Bryant’s support of Feeding America is part of the company’s broader Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program, which focuses on making a positive difference in communities where Bryant operates. Through initiatives like these, Bryant strives to leave a lasting impact on both local and national levels, demonstrating its commitment to creating a better future for all.

Near Field Communication is not the only enhancement Carrier made to its gas furnace portfolio. Following the recent 2023-regulatory changes, Carrier relaunched its entry-tier line with competitive airflows and 18-speeds, maximizing cooling ratings.

Carrier has launched its new 6,000-square-foot training center on the West Side of Indianapolis with a ribbon cutting ceremony and several local distributors and public officials present. The event was hosted at one of the largest gas furnace manufacturing plants in the world, Carrier’s Center of Excellence for gas furnace production. The launch of the technical training center marks the completion of a multi-million-dollar investment by Carrier in training the next generation of skilled HVAC technicians. The center is opening in advance of the 2025 refrigerant phasedown where Carrier technicians will be trained on products using Puron Advance™ (R-454B), Carrier’s next generation lower-GWP refrigerant, in preparation. Carrier is part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), global leader in intelligent climate and energy solutions.
Over the next 10 years, it is estimated that there will be a 400,000 HVAC technician shortage that may negatively impact homeowner experiences, increase wait times for installation and maintenance of units, and leave business owners with the challenge of finding qualified employees.* Carrier’s new technical training center aims to address this challenge by training more technicians with state-of-the-art technology and labs. The center includes six distinct labs featuring 41 fully functional systems; including three ducted system labs, operational two-pipe and the future three-pipe VRF labs, and a ductless lab, which includes Crossover systems to train on the latest ducted and ductless combinations. Carrier’s existing self-paced, online training courses average 11,000 hours of technical training consumed each year. As a result of this new, in-person technical training center, annual capacity for an additional 30,000 hours of hands-on training has been added.
Carrier focuses on making the highest quality HVAC solutions that matter for people and the planet for generations to come. The network of Carrier distributors and factory authorized dealers will have exceptional training available through the lab to help ensure home HVAC systems are installed properly, alleviating some of the training challenges facing the industry and ensuring homeowner satisfaction. Carrier’s commitment to addressing the technician shortage is further exhibited by its Tech Up program, an ongoing effort to develop and empower the next generation of HVAC technicians.
“Bringing this enhanced technical training center to our dealers has been top of mind as we consider the effects the ongoing technician shortage is having on the industry,” said Braden Cook, Senior Director of Product Management, Training and Service, Carrier. “Offering our complete suite of industry-leading products for comprehensive, hands-on training is just another way we are ensuring our dealers have the best technicians and installers supporting homeowners everywhere.”
