INDIANAPOLIS—In light of deteriorating air quality across the United States and Canada due to widespread wildfires, Carrier has announced a comprehensive initiative to support public health through improved indoor air quality.
According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, wildfire smoke contains fine particles that may exacerbate respiratory and cardiovascular conditions. In response, Carrier urges residential and commercial property owners to implement protective measures, including operating HVAC systems on fan mode with high-efficiency filters, sealing structural gaps, and utilizing HEPA-equipped portable air purifiers.
“While outdoor air may become hazardous during wildfire events, indoor environments can also be compromised,” stated Nick Arch, Vice President and General Manager of Residential Solutions. “Carrier’s technologies are engineered to mitigate these risks and safeguard indoor air for families and communities.”
Carrier’s offerings span advanced filtration systems and portable purification units. Notably, the company recently contributed over $2.5 million in air purifiers to frontline workers and educational institutions in Los Angeles.
