ATLANTA — At the AHR Expo, Carrier led off its booth display with the 3- to 6-ton WeatherMaker packaged rooftop unit (RTU) with EcoBlue technology, something that Mark Rabbia, product business manager, Carrier Commercial Systems, said sets the tone for Carrier’s upcoming product releases.
“This is going to be the future for us, as we work our way up to the larger sizes,” Rabbia said. “The last three or four years, the government’s been increasing the efficiency levels. As a manufacturer, when it comes time to replace existing units, we don’t want to tell a customer they have to tear up the whole roof to replace that unit … with a unit that has all the right efficiency levels.”
