Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS	The Condensed Combined Financial Statements as of March 31, 2020 and for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 are unaudited, and include all adjustments which consist of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state our results of operations, financial position and cash flows. The results reported in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or the entire year. The financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes in the Company's information statement, dated March 16, 2020, which was included as Exhibit 99.1 in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 16, 2020 (the "Information Statement"). Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on first quarter results and forward looking impacts A novel strain of coronavirus ("COVID-19") surfaced in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and has since spread throughout the rest of the world. In March 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and a national emergency by the U.S. Government. The pandemic has negatively affected the U.S. and global economies, disrupted global supply chains and financial markets, and resulted in significant travel restrictions, including mandated facility closures and shelter-in-place orders. Carrier is taking all prudent measures to protect the health and safety of our employees and has implemented work from home requirements, where possible, social distancing where working from home is not feasible including in our manufacturing facilities, deep cleaning protocols at all of our facilities and travel restrictions, among other measures. We have also taken appropriate measures to work with our customers to minimize potential disruption and to support the communities that we serve to address the challenges posed by the pandemic. The full extent of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company's operational and financial performance will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic and related containment and mitigation actions taken by the U.S. Government, state and local government officials and international governments to prevent disease spread. The extent of the pandemic's impact on Carrier will also depend upon our employees' ability to work safely in our facilities, our customers’ ability to continue to operate or receive our products, the ability of our suppliers to continue to operate, and the level of activity and demand for the ultimate product and services of our customers or their customers. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has experienced varied impacts across the business. We temporarily closed or reduced production at manufacturing facilities in North America, Asia and Europe for safety reasons and in response to lower demand for our products but most of those facilities are now fully operational. We considered the outbreak and subsequent impacts to be a trigger to reassess our goodwill and intangible asset valuations. We also assessed whether or not COVID-19 impacts our significant assumptions regarding future income from our underlying assets or potentially changes our liabilities. In order to evaluate these impacts, we made forecast assumptions regarding future business activity that are subject to a wide range of uncertainties, including those noted in the prior paragraph. Because of the dynamic environment, in future periods, we will continue to evaluate whether these assumptions are reasonable. Based upon qualitative and, in certain cases, quantitative analyses, we determined that our goodwill and intangibles are not impaired. However, the fair value of one reporting unit exceeded its underlying carrying value by 20% and if future economic conditions are worse than our forecasted assumptions, we may need to re-assess the reporting unit’s goodwill for impairment. We are focused on navigating the challenges presented by COVID-19 by preserving our liquidity and managing our cash flows through preemptive actions to enhance our ability to meet our liquidity needs over the next twelve months. Such actions include, but are not limited to, reducing our discretionary spending, our capital investments and general and administrative costs by implementing pay freezes and cuts, employee furloughs and the suspension of non-critical hiring, and assessing the timing and amount of dividends on our common stock. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to withstand the expected impact of COVID-19. We are assessing the impact and availability of recently enacted global COVID-19 relief measures on our results of operations and liquidity, including the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security ("CARES") Act, which provides for payroll tax deferrals and credits, income tax estimate deferrals, and an increase to the income tax interest deduction limitation. DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS Carrier Global Corporation is a leading global provider of heating, ventilating, air conditioning ("HVAC"), refrigeration, and fire and security solutions. Carrier also provides a broad array of related building services, including audit, design, installation, system integration, repair, maintenance and monitoring. Carrier’s operations are classified into three segments: HVAC, Refrigeration, and Fire & Security. The HVAC and Refrigeration segments sell their products and solutions directly, including to building contractors and owners, transportation companies and retail stores, or indirectly through joint venture and other minority owned investments, independent sales representatives, distributors, wholesalers, dealers and retail outlets. These products and services are sold under the Carrier name and other brand names including Automated Logic, Bryant, CIAT, Day & Night, Heil, NORESCO, Riello, Carrier Commercial Refrigeration, Carrier Transicold, Sensitech and others. The Fire & Security segment, sells its products directly to customers, or indirectly through manufacturers’ representatives, distributors, dealers, value-added resellers and retailers. Fire & Security’s products and services are used by governments, financial institutions, architects, building owners and developers, security and fire consultants, homeowners and other end-users requiring a high level of security and fire protection for their businesses and residences. These products and services are sold under brand names including Autronica, Chubb, Det-Tronics, Edwards, Fireye, GST, Interlogix, Kidde, LenelS2, Marioff, Onity, Supra and others. On November 26, 2018, United Technologies Corporation, since renamed Raytheon Technologies Corporation ("UTC") announced its intention to spin off Carrier, one of UTC's reportable segments, into a separate publicly traded company (the "Separation"). On April 3, 2020, UTC completed the Separation through a pro-rata distribution (the "Distribution") of all of the outstanding common stock of the Company to UTC shareowners who held shares of UTC common stock as of the close of business on March 19, 2020, the record date for the Distribution. UTC distributed 866,158,910 shares of Carrier common stock in the Distribution, which was effective at 12:01 a.m., Eastern Time, on April 3, 2020 (the "Effective Time"). As a result of the Distribution, Carrier became an independent public company and our common stock is listed under the symbol "CARR" on the New York Stock Exchange. In connection with the Separation, Carrier issued an aggregate principal balance of $11.0 billion of debt and transferred approximately $10.9 billion of cash to UTC on February 27, 2020 and March 27, 2020. See Note 10 – Borrowings and Lines of Credit and Note 3 – Earnings Per Share for additional information.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION The Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented as historically managed within UTC. The Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of UTC. They have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements reflect periods prior to the Separation and thus are prepared on a "carve-out" basis, as described below. The Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Operations include all revenues and costs directly attributable to Carrier, including costs for facilities, functions and services used by Carrier. Costs for certain functions and services performed by UTC are directly charged to Carrier based on specific identification when possible or based on a reasonable allocation driver such as net sales, headcount, proportionate usage or other allocation methods. The results of operations include allocations of costs for administrative functions and services performed on behalf of Carrier by centralized groups within UTC and certain pension and other post-retirement benefit costs (see Note 5 – Related Parties for a description of the allocation methodologies). All charges and allocations for facilities, functions and services performed by UTC have been deemed settled in cash by Carrier to UTC in the period in which the cost was recorded in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Operations. Current and deferred income taxes have been determined based on Carrier's stand-alone results. However, because the Company has historically filed tax returns as part of UTC in certain jurisdictions, the Company’s actual tax balances may differ from those reported. The Company’s portion of income taxes for domestic and certain jurisdictions outside the United States are deemed settled in the period the related tax expense was recorded. We entered into a transition services agreement ("TSA") with UTC and Otis Worldwide Corporation ("Otis") in connection with the Separation pursuant to which UTC provides us with certain services and we provide certain services to UTC for a limited time to help ensure an orderly transition following the Separation. The services we receive include, but are not limited to, information technology services, technical and engineering support, application support for operations, legal, payroll, finance, tax and accounting, general administrative services and other support services. Because costs for these services historically were included in our operating results through expense allocations from UTC, we do not expect the costs associated with the TSA to be materially different and, therefore, we do not expect such costs to materially affect our results of operations or cash flows after becoming an independent publicly traded company. UTC used a centralized approach to cash management and financing its operations. Accordingly, none of the cash, third party debt or related interest expense of UTC has been allocated to Carrier in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements. However, cash balances primarily associated with certain foreign entities that do not participate in UTC’s cash management program have been included in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements. Transactions between UTC and Carrier are deemed settled immediately through UTC’s Net investment, other than those transactions which have historically been cash-settled and which are reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet within Accounts receivable and Accounts payable. The net effect of the deemed settled transactions is reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Cash Flows as Net transfers to UTC within financing activities and in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as UTC’s Net investment (see Note 5 – Related Parties for additional information). All significant intra-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the preparation of the Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements. The Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements of the Company include assets and liabilities that have been determined to be specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Company. All of the allocations and estimates in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements are based on assumptions that management believes are reasonable. However, the Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements included herein may not be indicative of the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company in the future, or if the Company had been a separate, stand-alone entity during the periods presented. Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling investors’ interests in the results of subsidiaries that we control and combine. Certain immaterial amounts presented in the Information Statement have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Included in these presentation changes, we reclassified the Current portion of long-term debt from Accrued liabilities for 2019 on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet. Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . This ASU and its related amendments (collectively, the "Credit Loss Standard") modifies the credit loss model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of an incurred loss methodology for financial instruments, including trade receivables, contract assets, long term receivables and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The Credit Loss Standard requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, including historical information, current conditions and a reasonable forecast period. This ASU requires that the statement of operations reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as the expected increase or decrease of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period, which may result in earlier recognition. The Company adopted the Credit Loss Standard effective January 1, 2020 utilizing a modified retrospective approach and adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . This ASU simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this ASU, a goodwill impairment is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the reporting unit and its fair value, but not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, this ASU requires the same impairment testing methodology for all reporting units, even those with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets and requires an entity to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . The ASU removes the disclosure requirements for the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements.

Contract liabilities increased $42 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, primarily due to customer billings in excess of revenue earned. For the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we recognized revenue of $144 million and $178 million, respectively, related to contract liabilities as of January 1, 2020 and 2019. Remaining Performance Obligations ("RPO"). As of March 31, 2020, our total RPO was approximately $5.1 billion compared with $4.7 billion as of December 31, 2019. Of the total RPO as of March 31, 2020, we expect approximately 66% will be recognized as sales over the following 12 months.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
RELATED PARTIES	RELATED PARTIES Historically, Carrier has been managed and operated in the normal course of business with other affiliates of UTC. Accordingly, certain shared costs have been allocated to the Company and are reflected as expenses in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements. Related Party Sales. During the historical periods presented, the Company sold products and services to UTC and its other affiliates. Product sales in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Operations include sales to UTC and affiliates of UTC other than Carrier of $3 million and $6 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Allocated Centralized Costs. UTC incurred corporate costs for services provided to the Company as well as to other UTC businesses. These services included treasury, tax, accounting, human resources, internal audit, legal, purchasing, information technology and other services. The costs associated with these services generally included all payroll and benefit costs as well as related overhead costs. UTC also allocated costs associated with corporate insurance coverage and medical, pension, post-retirement and other health plan costs for employees participating in UTC sponsored plans. UTC corporate costs were either specifically attributed and charged to Carrier, when possible, or allocated to the Company. Allocations were based on direct usage where identifiable and on a number of other utilization measures including headcount, proportionate usage and net sales. All such amounts were deemed incurred and settled by the Company in the period in which the costs were recorded and are included in the UTC Net investment. The allocated centralized costs for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $43 million and $54 million, respectively, and are primarily included in Selling, general and administrative in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Operations. The expense and cost allocations have been determined on a basis considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided to or for the benefit received by the Company for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The amounts that would have been, or will be incurred, on a stand-alone basis could differ from the amounts allocated due to economies of scale, differences in management approach, a need for more or fewer employees or other factors. In addition, the Company's future results of operations, financial position and cash flows could differ materially from the historical results presented herein. Separation Costs. In connection with the Separation, we have incurred pre-Separation costs of approximately $45 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, primarily recorded in Selling, general and administrative in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Operations, which primarily consist of employee-related costs, costs to establish certain stand-alone functions and information technology systems, professional services fees and other transaction-related costs resulting from Carrier’s transition to becoming an independent publicly traded company. Carrier did not incur costs in connection with the Separation for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. Cash Management and Financing. The Company participated in UTC’s centralized cash management and financing programs. Cash receipts and disbursements were executed through centralized systems, which were operated by UTC. As cash was received and disbursed by UTC, it was accounted for by the Company through UTC Net investment. The majority of external debt was financed by UTC, and financing decisions for wholly and majority owned subsidiaries were determined by UTC. See Note 1 – Description of the Business for additional information. The Company’s cash that was excluded from UTC's centralized cash management and financing programs is classified as Cash and cash equivalents in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, net liabilities of $79 million were contributed to the Company by UTC which primarily consisted of deferred tax assets and liabilities and fixed assets. These non-cash contributions are recorded as Net transfers to UTC on the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Changes in Equity through UTC Net investment. Accounts Receivable and Payable. Certain related party transactions between the Company and UTC were included within UTC Net investment in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet in the periods presented when the related party transactions were not settled in cash. The UTC Net investment includes related party receivables due from UTC and its affiliates of $3 million and $16 billion as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The UTC Net investment includes related party payables due to UTC and its affiliates of $258 million and $3 billion as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Interest income and expense related to activity with UTC that was historically included in Carrier’s results is presented on a net basis in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Operations. There was $0 million and $28 million of interest income on activity with UTC for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Interest expense on activity with UTC was $0 million and $16 million for the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The effect of the settlement of these related party transactions is included in financing activity in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Cash Flows. Additionally, certain transactions between Carrier and UTC and its affiliates were cash-settled and are reflected in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet within Accounts receivable and were $1 million and $6 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Accounts payable includes $0 million and $4 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, related to such transactions. Equity Method Investments. Carrier sells products to and purchases products from uncombined entities accounted for under the equity method, which are considered related parties. During the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, Product sales in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Operations included sales to equity method investees of $344 million and $394 million, respectively. During the quarters ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, Cost of products sold in the Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Operations included purchases from equity method investees of $77 million and $77 million, respectively. Carrier had receivables from equity method investees of $191 million and $137 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Carrier also had payables to equity method investees of $38 million and $55 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The receivables and payables are included in Accounts receivable, net and Accounts payable on the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet. The Company periodically reviews the carrying value of its equity method investments to determine if there has been an other-than-temporary decline in fair value. A variety of factors are considered when determining if a decline in carrying value is other-than-temporary, including, among other factors, the financial condition and business prospects of the investee, as well as the Company's intent with regard to the investment. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, we determined that indicators of impairment existed for a minority owned joint venture investment in the portfolio. We performed a valuation of this investment, based on the income approach using the discounted cash flow method, and determined that the loss in value was other-than-temporary, due to a reduction in sales and earnings driven by deterioration in the oil and gas industry, the joint venture's primary market, and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, among other factors. As a result, we recorded a non-cash other-than-temporary impairment charge of $71 million on this investment during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 which is included in Other (expense) income, net on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Combined Statement of Operations.

Receivables [Abstract]
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET	ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE, NET The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through the sales of products and services to commercial customers, which are recorded as Trade receivables. We evaluate a customer’s ability to pay by assessing creditworthiness, historical experience and current conditions. We determine credit ratings for each customer in our portfolio based upon public information and information obtained directly from our customers. We evaluate the reasonableness of the allowance for credit losses on a quarterly basis or when events and circumstances warrant. In addition to credit quality indicators, factors considered in our evaluation of collectability include the underlying value of any collateral or security interests, past due balances, historical losses, and existing economic conditions including country and political risk. In certain circumstances, we may require collateral or prepayment to mitigate credit risk. We determine receivables are impaired when, based on historical experience, current information and events and a reasonable forecast period, we may be unable to collect amounts due according to the contractual terms of an agreement. Estimated credit losses are written off in the period in which an accounts receivable is determined to be no longer collectible.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
BORROWINGS AND LINES OF CREDIT	BORROWINGS AND LINES OF CREDIT As of March 31, 2020, we had entered into, but not utilized, a $2.0 billion unsecured, unsubordinated commercial paper program. We plan to use our commercial paper borrowings for general corporate purposes, including the funding of working capital and potential acquisitions. On February 10, 2020, we entered into a revolving credit agreement with various banks permitting aggregate borrowings of up to $2.0 billion pursuant to an unsecured, unsubordinated revolving credit facility that matures on April 3, 2025 (the "revolving credit facility"). The revolving credit facility was not available to Carrier or its subsidiaries until after the Separation . The revolving credit facility will support our commercial paper program and support our cash requirements. A commitment fee of 0.125% is charged on the unused commitments. Borrowings under t he revolving credit facility are available in U.S. Dollars, Euros and Pounds Sterling and bear interest at a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin, which was 125 basis points as of March 31, 2020. On February 10, 2020, we entered into a $1.75 billion term loan credit agreement that provides an unsecured, unsubordinated credit facility which expires on February 10, 2023 (the "term loan credit facility"). Borrowings under the term loan credit facility are subject to a variable interest rate based on LIBOR plus a ratings-based margin, which was 112.5 basis points as of March 31, 2020. On February 27, 2020, Carrier issued $9.25 billion of unsecured, unsubordinated long-term notes in six series with maturity dates ranging from 2023 through 2050. The notes were issued pursuant to an indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. The revolving credit agreement, term loan credit agreement and indenture contain affirmative and negative covenants customary to financings of this type, that among other things, limit Carrier and its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional liens, to make certain fundamental changes and to enter into sale and leaseback transactions. In addition, the revolving credit agreement and term loan credit agreement contain a financial covenant that requires us to not exceed a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio that will be tested beginning with the fiscal quarter ending on September 30, 2020. On March 27, 2020, Carrier drew $1.75 billion on the term loan credit facility. The proceeds from the notes and the term loan credit facility were used to distribute $10.9 billion to UTC in connection with the Separation. Long-term debt, all of which was issued during the quarter ended March 31, 2020 except for Other long-term debt, consisted of the following: (dollars in millions) Debt Description Interest Rate Due Date March 31, 2020 December 31, 2019 3-Year Term Loan Credit Facility 2.195 % 1 February 10, 2023 $ 1,750 2 $ — 3-Year Fixed Rate Notes 1.923 % February 15, 2023 500 2 — 5-Year Fixed Rate Notes 2.242 % February 15, 2025 2,000 2 — 7-Year Fixed Rate Notes 2.493 % February 15, 2027 1,250 2 — 10-Year Fixed Rate Notes 2.722 % February 15, 2030 2,000 2 — 20-Year Fixed Rate Notes 3.377 % April 05, 2040 1,500 2 — 30-Year Fixed Rate Notes 3.577 % April 05, 2050 2,000 2 — Other (including project financing obligations and finance leases) 326 319 Total principal long-term debt 11,326 319 Other (discounts and debt issuance costs) (79) 2 — Total debt 11,247 319 Less: current portion of long-term debt 218 237 Long-term debt, net of current portion $ 11,029 $ 82 1 The interest rate on the term loan is variable based on six month LIBOR of 1.07% plus 112.5 basis points. 2 The net proceeds of the financing arrangements were used to distribute cash to UTC.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	INCOME TAXES The effective tax rate for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 was 65.4% compared with 25.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2019. This increase is primarily the result of a $51 million charge related to a valuation allowance recorded against a United Kingdom tax loss and credit carryforward as a result of separation-related activities, a charge of $46 million resulting from Carrier's decision to no longer permanently reinvest certain pre-2018 unremitted non-U.S. earnings, and the impact of a non-deductible impairment charge of $71 million on a minority owned joint venture investment. The Company assesses the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly basis through an analysis of potential sources of future taxable income, including prior year taxable income available to absorb a carryback of tax losses, reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, tax planning strategies and forecasts of taxable income. The Company considers all negative and positive evidence, including the weight of the evidence, to determine if valuation allowances against deferred tax assets are required. The Company maintains valuation allowances against certain non-U.S. deferred tax assets. We will continue to evaluate the impact that COVID-19 may have on the future realizability of a portion of the remaining non-US deferred tax assets. Carrier conducts business globally and, as a result, files income tax returns in U.S. federal and various state and foreign jurisdictions. In certain jurisdictions, Carrier's operations are included in the combined tax returns with UTC for the period up through the Separation. In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Mexico, Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the United States. With few exceptions, Carrier is no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and local and non-U.S. income tax examinations for tax years before 2010.

CONTINGENT LIABILITIES	CONTINGENT LIABILITIES Except as otherwise noted, the Company is unable to predict the final outcome of these matters based on the information currently available; however, the Company does not believe that the resolution of any of these matters will have a material adverse effect upon our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. Environmental. The Company’s operations are subject to environmental regulation by various authorities. We have accrued for the costs of environmental remediation activities, including but not limited to investigatory, remediation, operating and maintenance costs and performance guarantees, and periodically reassess these amounts. Management believes that the likelihood of incurring losses materially in excess of the amounts accrued is remote. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the outstanding liability for environmental obligations was $218 million and $217 million, respectively, of which $13 million and $14 million, respectively, is included in Accrued liabilities and $205 million and $203 million, respectively, is included in Other long-term liabilities on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet. Legal Proceedings. Asbestos Matters – The Company and its combined subsidiaries have been named as defendants in lawsuits alleging personal injury as a result of exposure to asbestos allegedly integrated into certain of Carrier’s products or business premises. While the Company has never manufactured asbestos and no longer incorporates it in to any currently-manufactured products, certain products that Carrier no longer manufactures contained components incorporating asbestos. A substantial majority of these asbestos-related claims have been dismissed without payment, or were covered in full or in part by insurance or other forms of indemnity. Additional cases were litigated and settled without any insurance reimbursement. The amounts involved in asbestos related claims were not material individually or in the aggregate in any period. The amounts recorded for asbestos-related liabilities are based on currently available information and assumptions that we believe are reasonable and are made with input from outside actuarial experts. As of March 31, 2020, the estimated range of liability to resolve all pending and unasserted potential future asbestos claims through 2059 is approximately $255 million to $290 million. Where no amount within a range of estimates is more likely, the minimum is accrued. We have recorded the minimum amount of $255 million, which is principally recorded in Other long-term liabilities on the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2020. This amount is undiscounted and excludes the Company’s legal fees to defend the asbestos claims, which will continue to be expensed as incurred. In addition, the Company has an insurance recovery receivable for probable asbestos related recoveries of approximately $104 million, which is included primarily in Other assets on the Unaudited Condensed Combined Balance Sheet as of both March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Other. As described in Note 15 – Guarantees , the Company extends performance and operating cost guarantees beyond the normal warranty and service policies for extended periods on some of its products. The Company typically accrues its estimate of the liability that may result under these guarantees and for service costs that are probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company has other commitments and contingent liabilities related to legal proceedings, self-insurance programs and matters arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for contingencies generally based upon a range of possible outcomes. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the Company accrues the minimum amount. In the ordinary course of business, Carrier is routinely a defendant in, party to or otherwise subject to pending and threatened legal actions, claims, disputes and proceedings. These matters are often based on alleged violations of contract,

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
SUBSEQUENT EVENT	SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Distribution from UTC. On April 3, 2020, the Separation was completed through the Distribution of all of the outstanding common stock of Carrier to UTC shareowners who held shares of UTC common stock as of the close of business on March 19, 2020, the record date for the Distribution. UTC distributed 866,158,910 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share in the Distribution. As a result of the Distribution, which was effective at the Effective Time, UTC shareowners of record received one share of the Company’s common stock for every one share of UTC common stock. As a result of the Distribution, Carrier became an independent, publicly traded company and our common stock is listed under the symbol "CARR" on the New York Stock Exchange. In connection with the Separation, the Business entered into several agreements with UTC and Otis, including a separation and distribution agreement that sets forth certain agreements with UTC and Otis regarding the principal actions to be taken in connection with the Separation, including identifying the assets transferred, the liabilities assumed and the contracts transferred to each of UTC, Otis and Carrier as part of the Separation, and when and how these transfers and assumptions occurred. Other agreements that we entered into that govern aspects of our relationship with UTC and Otis following the Separation include: Transition Services Agreement . We entered into a TSA with UTC and Otis in connection with the Separation pursuant to which UTC provides us with certain services and we provide certain services to UTC for a limited time to help ensure an orderly transition following the Separation. The services we receive include, but are not limited to, information technology services, technical and engineering support, application support for operations, legal, payroll, finance, tax and accounting, general administrative services and other support services. Tax Matters Agreement. We entered into a tax matters agreement (the "TMA") with UTC and Otis that governs the parties’ respective rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to tax matters (including responsibility for taxes, entitlement to refunds, allocation of tax attributes, preparation of tax returns, control of tax contests and other tax matters). Subject to certain exceptions set forth in the TMA, Carrier generally is responsible for federal, state and foreign taxes imposed on a separate return basis upon Carrier (or any of its subsidiaries) with respect to taxable periods (or portions thereof) that ended on or prior to the date of the Distribution. The TMA provides special rules that allocate responsibility for tax liabilities arising from a failure of the Separation transactions to qualify for tax-free treatment based on the reasons for such failure.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (Policies)	3 Months Ended

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Consolidation	The Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company for the periods presented as historically managed within UTC. The Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements are derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of UTC.
Basis of Accounting	They have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements reflect periods prior to the Separation and thus are prepared on a "carve-out" basis, as described below.
New Accounting Pronouncements	In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments . This ASU and its related amendments (collectively, the "Credit Loss Standard") modifies the credit loss model to utilize an expected loss methodology in place of an incurred loss methodology for financial instruments, including trade receivables, contract assets, long term receivables and off-balance sheet credit exposures. The Credit Loss Standard requires consideration of a broader range of information to estimate expected credit losses, including historical information, current conditions and a reasonable forecast period. This ASU requires that the statement of operations reflect the measurement of credit losses for newly recognized financial assets as well as the expected increase or decrease of expected credit losses that have taken place during the period, which may result in earlier recognition. The Company adopted the Credit Loss Standard effective January 1, 2020 utilizing a modified retrospective approach and adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment . This ASU simplifies how an entity is required to test goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the amendments in this ASU, a goodwill impairment is calculated as the difference between the carrying amount of the reporting unit and its fair value, but not to exceed the carrying amount of the goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, this ASU requires the same impairment testing methodology for all reporting units, even those with a zero or negative carrying amount of net assets and requires an entity to disclose the amount of goodwill allocated to each reporting unit with a zero or negative carrying amount. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption did not have a significant impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement . The ASU removes the disclosure requirements for the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The Company adopted this ASU effective January 1, 2020 and the adoption of this ASU did not have a significant impact on the Company's Unaudited Condensed Combined Financial Statements.
