Yep. And like the a/c coils that Carrier will still take to Mexico, they are components sold to OEMs or used to build bigger systems, which inherently are more price-sensitive. The gas furnaces that will stay in Indy are somewhat less so.
Also, consider that most air conditioners (and many things that use industrial bearings) are already being built in Mexico, thus being close to their customers is an advantage for suppliers. How many gas furnaces are sold for use in Mexico?
Point being, the economics of different products are always going to be different and rather than bitch about Trump not keeping 100% of the Carrier jobs here, people should be grateful someone intervened and managed to reverse the decision that was based on the less-favorable economics.
I’m in my swanky Tulum , MX rental condo right now and staring up at my air conditioner. It’s a Freyven. Almost all the places we have traveled this year have room air conditioners and not whole house ones. They are noisy and inefficient ( you need several positioned in a kitchen/ great room configuration). I have yet to rent a house that has whole house air conditioning.
God bless the man who invented air conditioning, which I frequently call “blessed air conditioning” but I think that an ingenious and inspired American inventor can come up with something that is better made and made in the USA.
Freedom induces creativity, that is why we have always been the world’s leader in advancing modernity.
