Carrier Achieves Recognition from DOE as Top Energy Skilled Training Provider for HVAC

Carrier Recognized by U.S. Department of Energy as Energy Skilled Training Provider

Carrier is making headlines with a significant achievement in its commitment to sustainable heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions. On November 4, 2025, the company announced that several of its 'My Learning Center Heat Pump Training' programs have been designated as an Energy Skilled™ training provider by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). This prestigious recognition underscores Carrier's dedication to equipping HVAC technicians with the necessary skills to install high-efficiency, sustainable heat pump systems.

The DOE's acknowledgment of Carrier's training programs illustrates the rigorous standards upheld in their curriculum. As Nick Arch, Vice President and General Manager of Residential HVAC Solutions at Carrier, noted, this designation not only highlights the superior quality of their training offerings but also reflects the company's ongoing efforts to enhance energy efficiency across the HVAC industry in the United States. He stated, "The 'Energy Skilled' designation affirms the quality and rigor of our 'My Learning Center Heat Pump Training' programs and underscores our commitment to advancing energy efficiency in the HVAC space across the country."

As part of its robust strategy for success, Carrier has established a vast network of Factory Authorized Dealers across the nation. Each dealership mandates its technicians to achieve NATE certification (North American Technician Excellence), with many including the heat pump specialty exam that now boasts the DOE's Energy Skilled recognition. This guarantees that many professionals within their dealer network already meet the necessary standards set forth by the DOE as a result of their rigorous training and certifications.

To further improve accessibility, Carrier is expanding its pathways to Energy Skilled recognition through the My Learning Center initiative. This move ensures that homeowners can depend on highly qualified experts to perform energy-efficient upgrades with confidence. The benefits extend significantly to contractors as well, as they will enjoy enhanced visibility through online searches and maps, facilitating consumer access to qualified professionals.

Moreover, Carrier's Energy Skilled status enhances contractors' credibility with environmentally conscious homeowners who prioritize long-term savings and superior comfort in their living spaces. This recognition not only solidifies Carrier’s legacy of innovation but also emphasizes their ongoing mission to transform the HVAC landscape, merging energy efficiency with skilled labor and consumer trust.

Overall, the recognition from the DOE represents a significant step forward for Carrier, reinforcing its leadership position in the HVAC industry. By continuing to invest in sustainable solutions and workforce development, Carrier helps to empower homeowners to make informed choices when it comes to upgrading their heating and cooling systems.
