Carrier launches search for oldest aircon
“Me and My Carrier” to jumpstart Carrier’s 50th year celebrations
“Concepcion-Carrier, the country’s leading provider of cooling solutions, is turning 50 years old in the Philippines this year. To celebrate half a century of pioneering cooling in the Philippines, the company is launching the “Me and My Carrier” campaign, which aims to search for the oldest working Carrier air conditioners and a chance for people to share their own Carrier experiences via its website.”
Did you know that CARRIER invented the first aircon in 1902?
Then 50 years ago, Carrier was brought to the Philippines by the Concepcion Industries.
Carrier has been producing lasting innovations for the last 110 years. The ‘Me and My Carrier’ campaign is a way of showing gratitude to the loyal customers for trusting Carrier to cool their indoor spaces.
For “Me and My Carrier”, the owners of the top five oldest working Carrier aircons will win a brand new, top of the line 1.0 HP Carrier Designer Series aircon, the most premium window room air conditioner line.
The Designer Series is known for its stylish silver and black color grilles, and intelligent cooling functions such as its Run Hour Timer, a feature that acts like a prepaid card and allows you to program the hours of your aircon usage based on your monthly budget.
“Three (3) customers also stand a chance to win the coveted 1.0 HP Carrier Designer Series aircon by sharing their fondest memories about their Carrier units, testifying against the reliability and durability of the brand. Sodexho gift certificates will be given to two other finalists as consolation prizes.”
