  Dear German Alvarez,
  
  Thank you for contacting Carrier Corporation through The Better Business Bureau.
  On behalf of Bryant, I am very sorry to learn of the problems you have experienced
  with your equipment and locating an authorized dealer in your area.
  
  Carrier Corporation is the manufacturer of heating, air conditioning and
  ventilation equipment; we go to market through a distribution channel. The
  distributors, in turn, sell our products to dealers and contractors within
  their territories. The distributors, dealers and contractors are all
  independently owned and operated businesses.
  
  As it stands, we do not govern a dealer’s business practices and are unable to force
  any dealer to perform service if they choose not to. In these instances, we suggest
  contacting your installing dealer to proceed with warranty repairs.
  
  I have included another list of Bryant dealers within a 50-mile radius of your zip
  code:
  
  CHRIS MECHANICAL - 757-606-0932
  All Seasons Heating and Cooling - 252-506-9031
  A 1 AMERICAN - 757-720-1375
  W.E. Care Insulation & Air LLC - 757-908-3064
  Heritage Heating and AC - 252-377-1635
  
  The warranty Carrier provided on (Model: BA14NA04800G, Serial: 5115X76720) is a
  10-year limited parts warranty from the date the equipment was installed to the
  original owner. The manufacturer warranty does not include diagnostic fees,
  labor, refrigerant, maintenance, etc... A labor warranty may be provided by the
  installer for length of time as determined by them. I have attached a copy of
  your warranty card for your records.
  
  Carrier is responsible to ensure the equipment we manufacture operates
  according to the specifications as outlined in the product data. The warranty
  provided to you is a guarantee of the integrity of the product and of Carrier’s
  responsibility for the repair or replacement of defective parts only. As the
  homeowner, you are responsible for any additional charges associated with the
  repair of your unit.
  
  If you are still unable to locate a dealer, I will ask that you provide me with
  an itemized quote from the non-authorized dealer for review. Our Bryant
  Management Review board will review the charges and determine your eligibility for
  reimbursement of the warranty part only as a one-time good will gesture. The
  offer will be subject to change and is contingent on a paid itemized invoice
  once the repair is complete.
  
  We appreciate your patience and cooperation with this matter.
  
  Sincerely,

  I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against Carrier for their failure to provide crucial product safety information in a timely manner. Despite repeated requests, I have been denied access to a critical part number (for a fused wire harness) that is essential to ensure the safe operation of my fan motorparticularly in light of a known recall due to fire risks.Carrier failed to notify me about this recall, and I only discovered it independently after two months. When I contacted Carrier representatives to obtain the part number for the required safety repair, I encountered evasiveness and secrecy, with no satisfactory explanation or resolution.Because of Carriers lack of transparency and failure to notify me, I incurred significant expenses to hire people and source parts that would have been unnecessary had I been properly informed of the recall. I expect Carrier to provide full compensation for these associated *********** requests for safety-related information have been ignored or met with vague responses. The withholding of safety-related information not only endangers my familys well-being but also violates my consumer rights. This conduct is unacceptable for a company responsible for ensuring the safety of its products.I expect Carrier to:Provide the specific part number for the fused wire harness that addresses the fire risk recall.Clearly communicate all safety-related information pertaining to this repair.Compensate me for all associated expenses incurred because of this recall and the subsequent repairs.Acknowledge and correct the failure to notify me about the recall promptly.If Carrier does not resolve this matter immediately, I will pursue additional avenues to ensure accountability, including consumer advocacy in major news outlets.I request the BBBs assistance in resolving this urgent safety issue, ensuring Carrier provides the information I need, and compensates me for my expenses.Sincerely,****** *******

  Dear ****** *******,
  
  Thank you for contacting Carrier Corporation through The Better Business Bureau.On behalf of Carrier, I am very sorry to learn of the problems you have experienced.
  
  Carrier is very much interested in seeing that the equipment we manufacture performs well. Before any component is selected to become a part of our products it is subjected to rigorous factory testing and we fully expect those meeting our specifications, with proper maintenance, to give many years of good service.
  
  Carrier Corporation is the manufacturer of heating, air conditioning and ventilation equipment; we go to market through a distribution channel. The distributors, in turn, sell our products to dealers and contractors within their territories. The distributors, dealers and contractors are all independently owned and operated businesses.
  
  Product registration information is located on the warranty card provided to you at the time of purchase. Registering your equipment alerts the manufacturer of where the equipment is installed and ensures homeowners receive updates on recalls, reworks and other important and necessary equipment information. Unfortunately,your equipment was never registered; therefore, we were unable to notify you directly of the ********* Intermediate Harness Mandatory Rework.
  
  Bulletin alerts are also sent to our authorized distributor and dealer network in the event that a recall is issued, or a rework is required. If the equipment is not registered and we are unable to alert the homeowner directly, it is then the installer and/or servicing dealers responsibility to inform the homeowner of the update. We encourage our customers to have annual maintenance performed by an authorized licensed HVAC technician to ensure these issues are addressed and their equipment is running safely and efficiently.
  
  As we discussed, I did reach out to our local distributor service manager and requested they provide the necessary part number and direction for the ********* Intermediate Harness Mandatory Rework to your servicing dealer, as he is not Carrier Authorized and was having issues obtaining the information from the distributor. I received an update from our distributor service manager on 6/10/2025 stating they provided your dealer with the part number for the wiring harness rework and explained that that you were never notified because the unit was never registered with Carrier.
  
  If you could please provide me with a paid itemized invoice for the service, I will have our *********************** review the charges and determine your eligibility for reimbursement for the ********* Intermediate Harness Mandatory Rework.
  
  We appreciate your patience and cooperation with this matter.

  Complaint: 23450120
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  Dear BBB,

  Thank you again for facilitating this ongoing matter.

  I have attached a summary of expenses and supporting invoices resulting from Carriers failure to inform me of a known safety recall involving the fan motor and in-line fuse harness, despite my direct outreach and provision of my units model number.

  This issue is not simply a missed registration. I contacted Carrier months ago and clearly described the symptoms and model number. Despite this, I was repeatedly denied access to the critical part number and received no mention of the recall. That lack of disclosure directly caused delays, misdiagnoses, and multiple failed repairs, all of which could have been avoided had Carrier acted transparently.

  Because Carrier did not fulfill their safety communication obligations, I was forced to:

  Hire three separate HVAC professionals, including Citys Choice Comfort Air and Empower Home Comfort, to diagnose the issue.
  Replace the main control board twice, first through Appliance Factory Parts, and again through Encompass, after the defective fan motor shorted the new board.
  Purchase a Carrier inverter board at significant cost to restore system function, again from this short.
  Order two in-line fuse harnesses due to delayed disclosure of the recalled part.
  Buy a replacement fan motor, which required international shipping and would have been unnecessary had the recall been disclosed promptly.
  Incur shipping charges, diagnostic fees, and emergency labor costs under time pressure as summer cooling became urgent.
  

  I would especially like to highlight the efforts of *****, the third ********** involved. *****:

  Has been to my home multiple times.
  Has spent hours on the phone with Carrier, trying to obtain basic part information.
  Was often ignored or given delayed responses, despite clearly referencing the model and failure symptoms.
  Does not live at my residence nor work for Carrier, yet was forced to chase down information Carrier should have disclosed.
  Will most likely issue a final bill exceeding $1,000, which reflects repeated service calls due solely to Carriers lack of transparency.

  Carriers attempt to shift responsibility onto ***** or other independent service providers is unacceptable. The root issue remains: Carrier failed to disclose a known safety recall despite being given the model number directly.
  

  Updated Expense Breakdown:
  

  Date Description Amount

  Apr 4, 2025 Citys Choice Comfort Air Diagnostic $120.00
  Apr 4, 2025 Empower Home Comfort Full System Evaluation $168.37
  Apr 4, 2025 ******************************************* $162.73
  May 2, 2025 ***************************************** $148.20
  May 7, 2025 ************** (Carrier OEM, incl. tax & fees) $823.75
  Jun 3, 2025 *************** international order, incl. tax & shipping) $302.40
  Jun 7, 2025 Technical Hot & Cold 2x In-Line Fuse Harness + Shipping $43.26
  Total $1,768.71
  
  The full invoices are attached. I will forward *****s invoice once received and request that Carrier:
  

  1. Reimburse the full amount listed above including whatever ***** charges and I can obtain an early invoice from ***** provided I meet no resistance on the invoices I've incurred so far.
  

  2. Accept responsibility for the failure to disclose a safety recall despite being given the model number directly.
  

  3. Commit to correcting internal practices to ensure future recall-related communication is handled responsibly.

  Thank you for your support in ensuring transparency and accountability in this matter. Please let me know if you require anything further.

  Sincerely,

  Dear ****** *******,
  
  Thank you for your recent response.
  
  As I explained in my previous response, product registration is imperative to ensure we, the manufacturer, are notified of where our equipment is installed and allows us to notify homeowners of important equipment information. As it stands, your equipment was never registered; therefore, we could not notify you directly of the mandatory rework for your unit.  Additionally, annual maintenance performed by an authorized dealer is recommended to ensure your unit is operating per the manufacturer specification and/or recent bulletins for mandatory reworks/recalls. This information is also available on our website.
  
  We understand that the costs and inconvenience associated with the repair of your equipment is almost always unexpected. We sympathize with the stress that unexpected expenses can have on any family; therefore, we will provide reimbursement for the fan motor intermediate harness mandatory rework only, pending the receipt of the paid itemized invoice for the repair. Please note that this special one-time offer goes above and beyond our limited warranty commitment and will not be offered again for any future services.
  
  Again, we appreciate your cooperation with this matter.
  
  Sincerely,

  Complaint: 23450120
  
  I am rejecting this response because:
  
  Hi ******,

  
  On a personal note, I appreciated our initial conversation, I only wish it had taken place much earlier. I also acknowledge your latest response and your tone of understanding. That said, I dont believe Carrier fully appreciates where things went wrong in this case.

  
  To clarify: I fully understand the role product registration plays in recall notifications. But as a second or even third owner of the home,we may never have received initial paperwork or guidance on registration.Regardless, registration is only one line of defense, and certainly not an excuse to withhold safety-related recall information when a consumer contacts Carrier directly with a model number and failure symptoms.

  
  Regarding annual maintenance, our units have been maintained, but there appears to be a disconnect between Carrier and your so-called "Authorized Dealers." On April 4, 2025, Carrier referred me to Empower Home Comfort (email attached). I later had them reimburse their $168.37 fee, but when I spoke to their general manager, he reviewed the notes and confirmed that Carrier provided no useful guidance at the time. This is not just about Empower, it reflects a failure of Carriers support systems and communication. I have a recorded conversation with the general manager and would be viewed as quite punitive, so I strongly urge Carrier to govern yourselves carefully on this point. Check your notes, perhaps you'll understand Carriers roll in all this after you review your interaction with Empower. Carriers dealing with ***** was equally as Cringe, but he's not your guy, so sarcastically, I guess that's acceptable? 

  
  Lets step back for a moment. This doesn't need to become a battle of blame. Theres an opportunity here for Carrier to rise above the minimum standard and demonstrate accountability. If anyone, Carrier,Empower, or ****** had been given or looked up the correct part information using the model number I provided, all of these damages would have been avoided. Thats the core issue.

  
  Carrier failed to support Empower. Carrier simply would not speak to me, was evasive, cryptic and put me in a no win expensive, lengthy position. Carrier was dismissive of *****, repeatedly suggesting incorrect solutions like replacing the control board or inverter board, while offering little assistance. *****, who is not affiliated with Carrier, was forced to return multiple times due to these delays, which strained our tenant relationship (we live in the same home). I turned to ***** because Carriers recommended parties misdiagnosed the issue,and the parts Carrier alluded to were not cheap.

  
  Ultimately, I was the one who uncovered the recall and asked ***** to confirm it, which he did. This should never have fallen on the homeowner. Carriers lack of disclosure directly caused these expenses.
  
  Summary of Expenses:

  
  1. Apr 4, 2025 Citys Choice Comfort Air Diagnostic: $120.00
  (Acknowledged as non-refundable; will not pursue reimbursement)
  

  2. Apr 4, 2025 Empower Home Comfort Full System Evaluation: $168.37
  (Reimbursed directly by Empower)
  

  3. Apr 4, 2025 Appliance Factory Parts Main Control Board: $162.73
  

  4. May 2, 2025 Encompass Replacement Main Control Board: $148.20
  

  5. May 7, 2025 Inverter Board (Carrier OEM, incl. tax & fees): $823.75
  

  6. Jun 3, 2025 *************** international order, incl. shipping): $302.40
  

  7. Jun 7, 2025 Technical Hot & Cold 2x In-Line Fuse Harness + Shipping: $43.26
  

  8. Jul 4, 2025 *****s Final Invoice: $1,186.50
  
  Total Submitted for Reimbursement:
  $2,666.83
  (Less the $168.37 and $120.00 already addressed)
  
  From your most recent message, I understand that Carrier is willing to reimburse items 6, 7, and 8 totaling $1,532.15. I appreciate this.

  
  However, items 3, 4, and 5, totaling $1,134.68, are non-returnable and were installed based on misdirection from Carrier and Empower. These costs would not have been incurred if the recall had been disclosed when I initially provided the model number. Carrier should cover them, and if necessary, pursue reimbursement from Empower, your referred Authorized Dealer.

  
  Im willing to send Carrier the unused parts to demonstrate good faith, though it is the cost, not the inventory, that I am seeking to recoup.

  
  This matter has been both costly and frustrating. It was not caused by neglect on my part but by Carriers failure to inform a consumer of a known safety issue, even after multiple calls. Please dont view my request as a negotiation, this is a call to uphold Carriers reputation and ethical standard. Please understand, if Carrier continues to deny responsibility for these avoidable costs, I will pursue every avenue available to me, regulatory, legal, and public, to ensure accountability. I have the energy, the documentation, and the resolve to see this through, no matter how long it takes. This is not a threat, its a firm commitment to stand up for whats right and fair. I genuinely hope Carrier chooses to handle this responsibly rather than compel further action.

  
  I look forward to hearing from you with a full resolution.
  

  Sincerely,
  ****** *******

  A/C installed 4 years ago. The compressor died, I was told it's under warranty. The quote to replace the compressor is $2100 ! Even without labor, the "parts" warranty should include ALL the parts required to replace the defective piece. This obviously includes the coolant, dryer and other associated parts. A significant cost ( 1/2 ) of the installation would be coolant etc. This is NOT A WARRANTY !I called both the installer and Carrier .. they don't care at all.

  Dear **** ****, 
  
  Thank you for contacting the Carrier ************************ They have reviewed your file and asked that I respond. On behalf of Carrier, I am very sorry to learn of the problems you have experienced with your equipment.
  
  Carrier is very much interested in seeing that the equipment we manufacture performs well. Before any component is selected to become a part of our products it is subjected to rigorous factory testing and we fully expect those meeting our specifications, with proper maintenance, to give many years of good service.
  
  The warranty Carrier provided on Model: 25HCE448AP030011/ Serial: 2820E12868 is a 10-year limited parts only warranty from the date the equipment was installed. The manufacturer warranty does not include diagnostic fees, labor, refrigerant, maintenance, etc... The labor warranty was provided by the installer for a period of time as determined by them. Typically, the installer will review with the homeowner options to purchase additional parts and/or labor coverage. I am very sorry if you were not provided with these options at the time of your purchase.
  
  There are many things beyond the control of a manufacturer that can cause a compressor to fail, voltage surges, incorrect refrigerant charge, dirty filter or coils, to name a few.
  
  We understand that the costs and inconvenience associated with the repair of your equipment is almost always unexpected. We sympathize with the stress that unexpected expenses can have on any family; however, no compensation or concessions beyond the original limited parts warranty coverage will be extended to you.
  
  I understand this was not the resolution you were seeking. I am sorry we are unable to provide a response more in your favor.

  I am rejecting this response because: THEY DID NOTHING !
  

  I work for a medical device company (**********)  WE ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT OUR REPUTATION.

  We monitor complaints DAILY, if anything at all isn't right, we dispatch a technician, usually the next day ! If we have a manufacturing defect or a poor design that can lead to premature failure, it gets addressed ****. We wouldn't dream of charging the customer for our issue.

  All your "we care about...." verbiage means nothing when you leave a customer with a $2100 bill to repair a 4 year old unit, supposedly under warranty. I was also forced to use an authorized installer, or I couldn't get the new part.

  My biggest complaint is that 15lbs of r410 is $275 ( I brought a can for next time if fails which it surely will ).... why are your authorized installers charging up to $90/ilb for r410.... this is a scam.

  If you're not covering labor + refrigerant, then you should allow the customer to have the part installed by their choice of technician. I have a friend who is a commercial HVAC guy, he would have put it in using my can of r410 for nothing. But that's not "policy"

  Dear **** ****,
  
  There are many things beyond the control of a manufacturer that can cause a compressor to fail, voltage surges, incorrect refrigerant charge, dirty filter or coils, to name a few.
  
  Should your dealer feel the compressor failed due to a manufacture defect going into year five of operation, we would encourage them to reach out to their distributor service manager for investigation.
  
  Carrier Corporation is the manufacturer of heating, air conditioning and ventilation equipment; we go to market through a distribution channel. The distributors, in turn, sell our products to licensed dealers and contractors within their territories. The distributors, dealers and contractors are all independently owned and operated businesses.
  
  Refrigerant is not manufactured by Carrier therefore is not covered under the manufacture warranty. Each dealer is independently operated and owned and set their own pricing. We encourage homeowners to get several quotes should they be unhappy with the amount quoted for a repair.
  
  We understand that the costs and inconvenience associated with the repair of your equipment is almost always unexpected. We sympathize with the stress that unexpected expenses can have on any family; therefore, if you would like to provide us documentation of all prior annual maintenance as well as an itemized invoice for your compressor repair, we can review and determine if any financial compensation can be offered above and beyond our parts only warranty.

  ******************** installed a Carrier HVAC system last week. The install was done improperly, which caused water to come from the ceiling and down the wall. There is water damage. We cannot use the A/C. We called them about the issue. They sent out a tech on Saturday, who was unable to fix the problem. Someone else from ************* came out on Monday and they too were unable to fix the problem. They indicated that there was a missing part that they would have to get. They came back again and said the part needed to be ordered; it would take 1-2 days. No one seems to know what they are doing. Carrier is supposed to be top notch and supposed to work with expert installers. Carrier has a saying "Turn to the Experts." There has been nothing expert about this situation. It is the big mess. I am writing this Complaint at 4:50 AM, because I cannot sleep due to not having a working A/C. We have another Carrier unit and it does not seem to be working. It has an Error code of 179 on the panel and says to contact Carrier customer service. So, now there is no A/C, water damage that will have to be fixed, possible mold issues, people have to come back multiple times without fixing the A/C problem. People having to come back to fix water damage. This has been a terrible, terrible experience and inconvenience. I am thinking of moving to a hotel until this is fixed. I wished we had never used ******************** or purchased Carrier units.

  Complaint: 23447867
  
  I am rejecting this response because: they have just started to respond to it.  So, awaiting follow up.  I have included pics with information requested by Carrier.  Below is a contact number for ******* & Son for operation manager.  The unit was installed June 6, 2025.  Let me give an update.  ******* & Son ordered the missing part and has installed it yesterday, part#******-75101.  The A/C is working.  We have been simultaneously dealing with the remediation people, also ******* & Son.  There is a very loud and hot humidifier/fan (pics included) taking water out of the ceiling/walls that brought hallway temp up to the 90s yesterday. They said it will take another day of dehumidifying for it being on, if true, this has been going on for a week, then, they have to repair damage once dried out which will be disruptive.  We are tired and our lives have been severely disrupted.  We have to endure no A/C, heat, very loud noise, not being able to sleep, people in and out of house, etc.  It seems like it is the process of being addressed but it has been ****.  If it was done right in the first place, we would not have to be dealing with the fallout this past week and future remediation from an improper installation.

  1)  How does someone lose a necessary part?  They indicated the missing part (Missing part#******-75101) caused water not to go to first pan.

  2)  How does someone not realize a necessary part is missing?

  3)  Why didn't the second safety drain pan drain?  Never had this problem before of water coming out of attic/ceiling from the A/C with past air conditioners.

  4)  Why didn't the automatic shut off not work before second pan overflowed?

  5)  Why was there black mold around old unit and insulation, we had a UV light installed a while black by ******* & Son?

  6)  We had a Carrier Unit replace and it only last 12 years, why so short, was there improper installation before?

  7)  Why was the old unit so rusted and surrounded by black mold?  I have pics but BBB would only let me upload 5 pics.

  8)  The old Carrier unit never worked that great.

  Carrier is very much interested in seeing that the equipment we manufacture performs well. Before any component is selected to become a part of our products it is subjected to rigorous factory testing and we fully expect those meeting our specifications, with proper maintenance, to give many years of good service.
  
  In order for us to properly review your case we will need:
  
  - Model & serial numbers of your equipment  Missing part#******-75101 not installed in the unit, other serial in pic, but also Serial# ****E04369, Product#****************

  Dear ******* ****,
  
  Thank you for your recent response. Case # ******** has been opened on your behalf.
  
  Carrier Corporation is the manufacturer of heating, air conditioning and ventilation equipment; we go to market through a distribution channel. The distributors, in turn, sell our products to dealers and contractors within their territories. The distributors, dealers and contractors are all independently owned and operated businesses.
  
  The warranty Carrier provided on (Model: 27SPA618A003, Serial: 0225E04369) is a 10-year limited parts warranty from the date the equipment was installed to the original owner. The manufacturer warranty does not include diagnostic fees,labor, refrigerant, maintenance, etc... A labor warranty may be provided by the installer for a length of time as determined by them. I have attached a copy of your warranty card for your records.
  
  Carrier is responsible to ensure the equipment we manufacture operates according to the specifications as outlined in the product data. Your dealer would use these specifications to size the equipment and design the installation. As the manufacturer, there are issues beyond our control such as the product selection, installation of the equipment, ducting, filter selection and filter installation.
  
  Please keep in mind that installation issues are the responsibility of the installing contractor and should be addressed with them directly. I have engaged the assistance of our distributor service manager and requested he contact your installer, ******* & Son, to provide factory support and to ensure the equipment was installed per manufacture specifications. ******* and Son should be contacting you with any updates and/or next steps as needed.
  
  We appreciate your patience and cooperation with this matter.
  
  Sincerely,

  I am rejecting this response because: they just opened a case file, so the matter is not concluded.  Also, I don't like how the response did not take any responsibility and put it back on the installer.  Sorry, Carrier but you and the dealer/installer are part of a team.  I know the game of the product manufacturer and dealer/installer.  There is a problem and the customer gets bounced between the manufacturer and dealer/installer.  A quality product should not do that and customers don't want that.  You guys, ********************** and Dealer/Installer are a team, each of you reflect on each other and if you care, you will do what it is necessary to help the customer, protect your reputation, and do what you can to make sure stuff like this does not happen in the future. 

  Carrier has many customer centered mottos:

  ********************** "Total Comfort. Totally Happy." (Unless it is an installer/dealer's mistake and then, we will refer you back to them.)

   At Carrier, we understand the importance of a comfortable home, and that is why we are dedicated to bringing even more comfort to the great indoors no matter what type of home you have.

  Key Aspects of Carrier's Screening/Requirements for Authorized Dealers/Installers:

  Commitment to Quality and Customer Satisfaction: Dealers must commit to high standards of quality, customer satisfaction, education, training, and certification.
  Technician Training and Expertise: Technicians working for Carrier Authorized Dealers undergo "scrupulous training" to be familiar with HVAC equipment and must demonstrate their ability to apply this knowledge effectively. They are also required to undergo regular factory training and adhere to national standards.

  
  Licensing and Insurance: Carrier ensures that authorized dealers are insured and have the necessary licenses.
  NATE Certification: Factory Authorized Dealers must employ *****certified technicians.

  Rigorous Standards and Training
  It takes a lot of work to become a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealerfrom extensive training to keeping current industry licenses and insurance, to maintaining exemplary scores in customer servicewe want the most qualified individuals helping you in your home.

  100% Satisfaction Guarantee*

  Carrier Factory Authorized Dealers offer a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Our Factory Authorized Dealers will correct any problems you have with your system or remove the equipment and refund your purchase entirely within one year of installation, if for any reason you are dissatisfied with your Carrier residential ducted and ductless equipment.

  I purchased a brand new home in ******** AZ and closed escrow Nov 2023. A brand new Carrier HVAC unit was installed at my home. On June 2, 2025 my HVAC unit stopped working. Upon having an ****** HVAC tech come out (the company that installed my unit) they determined both the ************ and control board were defective and needed replacement. While the parts were covered, I was assessed $933.30 worth of labor and trip charges to fix the issue. A brand new unit should not malfunction in 18 months and I am seeking full reimbursement of the labor charges of $933.30 from Carrier for this. When I reached out to the company I was advised they could only provide a $250 voucher for future services from an HVAC tech in the future. It is also at the discretion of the tech company to even honor the voucher so there is no guarantee. I find this resolution unacceptable and would like this reviewed. Invoice attached and additional photos available upon request.

  Dear ******** *****, 
  
  Thank you for contacting the Carrier through the Better Business Bureau. They have reviewed your file and asked that I respond. On behalf of Carrier, I am very sorry to learn of the problems you have experienced with your equipment.
  
  The warranty Carrier provided on Model: 811SA60090E21A-B / Serial: ********** is a 5-year limited parts only warranty from the date the equipment was installed. Your Furnace also has a 20-year warranty on the Primary Heat Exchanger. The manufacturer warranty does not include diagnostic fees, labor, refrigerant, maintenance, etc...

Typically, the installer will review with the homeowner options to purchase additional parts and/or labor coverage. I am very sorry if you were not provided with these options at the time of your purchase.
  
  We understand that the costs and inconvenience associated with the repair of your equipment is almost always unexpected. We sympathize with the stress that unexpected expenses can have on any family; therefore, we will be providing a one-time good will concession to you in the amount of $600.00.

  I purchased a top of the line air conditioner model 24VNA924B003, FE4ANF002L00, STSTXCCITC01-B from a Carrier local contractor spending $10,790.00 in February 16th of 2024. This unit was a replacement of a much cheaper Carrier unit that lasted only 5 years due to a faulty compressor that actually blew up. My contractor sold me on a new and improved "top of the line" energy efficient with better "Reliabilty " and told me the included warranty was sufficient. The new unit came with a factory warranty of 1 year parts and labor and 5 years parts only. The unit worked perfectly for 1 year and 2 months being serviced twice by my contractor, then blew the *** valve. I maintain my units by changing the air filters on a monthly schedule.Agreed, it is out of the labor warranty and only now for replacement of parts, but the labor is $450.00. Carrier should stand behind their products. I have another older Carrier Air conditioner for my home that I was considering replacing, but why would I even think about Carrier with my exceptionally poor experience.

  I called Carrer to confirm a technician was an approved dealer before purchasing an AC unit in September 2023. This month the temperature in the home wouldn't go below 74 so I reached out but the approved dealer didn't show up for the appointment and blocked my calls. Carrier referred me to a different dealer who advised there was no indication of any issues with the coil and the previous dealer didn't put enough freon in the unit although I paid him to add it. The new dealer added 6 pounds of freon and I am requesting Carrier refund me fir the 6 pounds of freon and they get reimbursed from the previous dealer.

  Dear ****** ******, 
  
  Thank you for contacting the Carrier through the Better Business Bureau. They have reviewed your file and asked that I respond. On behalf of Carrier, I am very sorry to learn of the problems you have experienced with your equipment.
  
  Carrier Corporation manufacturers heating, air conditioning and ventilation equipment; we go to market through a distribution channel.

  Carrier is responsible to ensure the equipment we manufacture operates according to the specifications as outlined in the product data. Your ****** would use these specifications when sizing and selecting components for your system. As the manufacturer, there are issues beyond our control such as the product selection, installation of the equipment, ducting, filter selection and filter installation. Your letter indicates that the original installer did not charge the system with enough refrigeration at the time of installation. 
  
  Our customer service team previously provided a one-time good will voucher in the amount of $200 on 5/16/2015 to have a second ****** out. This offer went above and beyond our parts only warranty obligation. That voucher was provided to help offset the cost service call/repair completed by the second ******. 
  
  Installation related issues would need to be addressed with your installing ******. We would suggest contacting *** Services to discuss financial compensation due to the incorrect charge at the time of installation.    
  
  I understand this was not the resolution you were seeking. I am sorry we are unable to provide a response more in your favor.

  I purchased a Carrier AC unit (24SCA5) in 2023. The unit is just at 2 years old and the evaporator coil is leaking and the unit is currently sitting inoperable. I reached out to the service company and they refuse to refund my money because the unit is still under warranty and they want to band aid the problem until the warranty runs out. I work very hard for the money that I earned and I should be forced to keep defective products.
