Winston Score History

The full picture

Carrier Global makes heating, cooling, and refrigeration equipment. Its main products include air conditioners, heat pumps, and commercial refrigeration systems sold under the Carrier brand — one of the most recognized names in climate control. The company serves homeowners, commercial buildings, and industrial customers across the construction and infrastructure industries.

Carrier earns most of its revenue by selling equipment directly, with a growing portion coming from aftermarket services, parts, and maintenance contracts. It operates globally, with significant business in North America, Europe, and Asia, and generates roughly $22 billion in annual revenue. The company recently sharpened its focus on HVAC by selling its fire and security businesses, betting heavily on demand for energy-efficient heating and cooling systems. The key growth driver is the global push toward heat pumps and climate-friendly HVAC, but rising competition from lower-cost manufacturers and a slowdown in new construction activity remain meaningful risks.
