Insights
Carrier's battery-enabled HVAC field trials represent strategic positioning in grid flexibility markets with significant scale potential from its 30M installed systems.
Carrier's field trials of battery-enabled HVAC systems mark a significant strategic pivot into the growing grid flexibility market. By integrating battery storage with variable-speed heat pumps, Carrier is positioning itself at the intersection of two critical trends: electrification of heating/cooling and distributed energy resource management.
The company's reference to its 30 million installed HVAC units representing over 100 GW of potential flexible demand reveals the massive scale opportunity. This existing footprint provides Carrier with a unique advantage for rapid deployment compared to new market entrants.
Working with EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) lends technical credibility to these trials and suggests utility partnerships are already developing. This moves Carrier beyond being solely an HVAC manufacturer into becoming a potential grid services provider – a higher-margin business with recurring revenue potential.
The timing is strategic, addressing multiple market pressures: aging grid infrastructure, extreme weather events increasing peak demands, and competition for electricity from data centers and industrial users. By helping utilities shift energy consumption from peak to off-peak periods, these systems could potentially reduce grid stress while providing resiliency benefits to homeowners.
The creation of Carrier Energy as a dedicated business unit signals the company's commitment to this market direction, suggesting this isn't merely a product extension but a meaningful business transformation with potential long-term growth implications.
Field trials underway for next-generation battery-enabled HVAC systems to strengthen the grid
"Carrier has been shaping the future of climate technology since Willis Carrier invented modern air conditioning in 1902," said David Gitlin, Chairman & CEO, Carrier. "Now, we're installing our first battery-enabled HVAC systems in homes to validate performance. These systems can help strengthen the grid, support renewable integration and maintain comfort — all while adapting to evolving energy demands."
As the
Through these trials, Carrier is assessing how its next-generation HVAC system — pairing more efficient variable-speed heat pumps with battery storage — can help reduce peak demand by shifting energy use from on-peak to off-peak periods, providing greater grid flexibility and resilience.
With an estimated 30 million Carrier HVAC units installed in North American homes — representing more than 100 GW of potential flexible demand — the opportunity is significant. At scale, these systems could offer utilities a powerful tool to manage electricity demand.
"This trial is a clear demonstration of how Carrier can help contribute to a more resilient, intelligent grid," said Hakan Yilmaz, Chief Technology & Sustainability Officer and leader of Carrier Energy. "With data to be delivered by EPRI, we're showing that smart home energy solutions are not a future concept — they're happening now."
