I purchased a top of the line Carrier Infinity home AV unit, the reason I spent almost $10,000 more was to make sure I had the best, well was I mistaken! My AC (model 24VNA948A300 which is now 15 months into a 10 year warranty stopped working and it cannot be fixed because Carrier has no parts for the Inverter Board.What is frustrating is that due to Carriers refusal to respond to phone calls or email or complaints I am not left with a choice of having no AC in ******* or throwing the unit out and being out of pocket $8,000 for a replacement.If Carrier is unable to stand by their warranties of has issues they should come up with an alternative, either a buy back or loan unit until such time as the parts are available.VERY disappointedBusiness Response

I closed on a new house on September 26 2021, the house was built brand new from the ground up. The air conditioner that was installed in the house is from the company Carrier Air conditioning and was installed by the company Bayonet pluming. The Air conditioner was having issues 6 months after the installation but it would happen seldomly so it wasn't an issue at the time. On October 29th 2022 the air conditioner completely stopped working, I called Bayonet the company that installed the unit and they were able to fix it on November 2nd 2022. The issue was a faulty thermostatic expansion valve. The valve was covered under the Carrier warranty but Bayonet charged me $494.60 to fix it. I don't believe I should have to pay that much money to replace a faulty part on an air conditioner that is brand new. I contacted Carrier and they refused to refund me for the Bayonet bill although it was due to a faulty part that was sold to me a year ago.Business Response

We recently purchased a home in 2018, with the Carrier Furnace is nearly new (at the time). I believe it was installed in 2015 (or possibly 2016), we have followed annual maintenance, changing filters, annual check-up service calls, and this fall the furnace would not ignite. A service call later and it turns out the inducer kit (337938-785-CB) was failing. We were informed by the servicer that it was under warranty (less than 10 years) and the part would be covered. We received a bill from the service company for the part, with over 100% markup on the standard part and now owe them over 700$ for what should have been a covered part.I did not understand, nor was informed that to have the warranty transferred to the new home-owner we needed to file with Carrier within 90 days of purchasing the home. This was not clearly marked anywhere on the unit, nor were we informed. If I had been informed, I would have done so. I would like to be able to register the warranty of this unit under my name, and have the part covered.The inducer kit failing within 10 years is unacceptable, and it should be covered under warranty, but because we are the 2nd home-owners we are being charged full price for the part. I would like Carrier to work with me to get the warranty transferred into my name, and the part covered.Business Response

Dear ************,
I am very sorry for the confusion surrounding the warranty coverage.
The warranty Carrier provided on Model: 59SC2B080S1716 Serial:4213A46777 was a limited parts warranty from the date of installation which included five years for all parts and twenty years on the heat exchangers. The manufacturer warranty does not include diagnostic fees, labor, refrigerant,maintenance, etc... I have attached a copy of the warranty certificate for your review.
Carrier does offer a Product Registration Incentive, in that,if you are the original owner and properly register eligible equipment within the specified period of time, an additional five years limited parts warranty coverage would be provided on the equipment. Any subsequent owner(s) would receive the original limited parts warranty. The additional warranty coverage received by the original owner through the Product Registration Incentive is not transferrable. I have attached a copy of the warranty certificate for your review.
I am very sorry if you were told the part was under warranty at the time of the diagnosis. Unfortunately, the limited parts warranty for the inducer kit expired 1/3/2014.
Thank you for your patience as you awaited out response. I understand this is not the remedy you were seeking. I am very sorry we cannot provide a response in your favor.

I am rejecting this response because:They did not fulfill my request to allow me to extend my warranty. This is unfortunate, because I always thought of Carrier as a company that stands behind their products. Having an inducer motor fail after 8 years of use leads me to believe that there was some defect in manufacturing, as that is within the original warranty perioid The warranty period for the owner is 10 years, if they are registered. As we bought the home that this unit was installed in, we did not know of this policy, which appears to not be legal in ********** or ******. It appears this warranty policy is requiring the government to protect owners from an anti-consumer practice.
I am very disappointed that Carrier would not allow us to use this opportunity to register our product, now that we are aware of the policy, which appears to be set up in a way to limit the amount of warranty claims. If a company stands behind their equipment, they should stand behind their warranty.
Carrier does not appear to stand behind their equipment, as I had previously thought.
Thankfully, there are alternatives to Carrier on the market, with much more clear and simple warranty policies.

Carrier engages in false and deceptive advertising on their website. Further, that by their failure to stand by their promoted dealers mistakes and equipment malfunctions that they defraud consumers by selling defective products and services and refuse to answer warranty issues or correct deficiencies.In October of 2021 I purchased a complete Carrier heat pump system including ductwork from a "Carrier Expert Dealer" (******* Refrigeration of *******, **) for $12,000. I made my decision to choose ******* based on the Carrier website listing them as a "Carrier Expert Dealer". I expected that Carrier had vetted their recommendation as a "Carrier Expert Dealer" and that I could count on Carrier to only feature competent and honest businesses on the website and that Carrier would help resolve any issues arising from any "Carrier Expert Dealer" mistakes. I was duped by Carrier.******* installed the entire system and it worked throughout the winter heating its heating cycle. It was not until May of 2022 came and I tried to use the unit to cool the house that the deficiencies arose. The system would work for a few hours on some days and then the evaporator coil would freeze up in a solid block of ice, rendering the unit inoperable. ******* made several service call trips and said the system was within technical ranges and they could not figure out why it would freeze up. They were baffled as they stared at a solid block of ice around the evaporator coil. ******* proposed installing a new valve but according to ******* it was back ordered for weeks and weeks. I did send ******* emails where they WERE available through Carrier. But thats yet another issue I finally called another Carrier dealer (*********** of *****, **) to come in and troubleshoot the problem. Turns out that they are a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer. Within 5 minutes of his arrival the technician had a diagnoses (attached) and it would cost $1,800 to correct.Business Response

Dear Mr. *************** behalf of Carrier, I am very sorry to learn of the problem you are experiencing with your equipment.
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.
We would recommend that you work directly with your installer regarding the correction of the ductwork which they installed in your home.
Carrier will provide no compensation or concessions beyond our limited parts warranty obligation.
I understand this was not the remedy you were seeking. I am very sorry we cannot provide a response in your favor.

We are a small charitable organization providing grief services and wellness programs in ********* *******. On 4/9/2021 we approved installation of a Carrier 20-ton Straight Cool Split System AC with R410 Refrigerant PURON from ************************* Company. The total cost was $28,835. The beginning of October, the unit stopped ******* and we requested a service call from ***********. We learned that the unit had a defective coil and in addition to waiting for a part and paying for replacement, we were expected to pay all costs related to replacement. Carrier has agreed that the part is defective, and they are willing to replace the coil at no cost. ******** is willing to work with us on a cost, but we feel that Carrier should pay for all costs related to their defective equipment. The coil is under warranty for 5 years. We are expected to pay for refrigerant, the drier, and labor. Parts are not readily available and we have been expected to pay for refrigerant while we wait. We feel that Carrier should cover the entire cost of their defective equipment. Our charitable organization is not in a financial position to handle this burden. The estimated cost to us is $1,485 and we have already received a bill for almost $700 in refrigerant. We have a maintenance agreement with ******** so we did not have to pay for the service call. We are asking Carrier to take financial responsibility for all costs related to the defective part in their equipment.Business Response

Carrier Corporation makes air conditioners, furnaces, and HVAC systems. Some of these systems accept aftermarket parts, i.e. parts not manufactured by Carrier. However, Carrier's 59MN7 Gas Furnace model requires a special gas motor which only Carrier makes. This "inducer motor" is necessary to the function of the furnace, so the 59MN7 furnace *will not work* without this part, and customers / retailers can't get the part anywhere *except from Carrier*. ... On October 1 2022, this part failed for me. Several customers, including myself, have had this part fail within warranty -- and confirm with a Carrier ************************* Rep that it IS in warranty. However, it appears that Carrier has stopped or restricted manufacture of this part, which renders them unable to honor the warranty agreement. Back-orders / waiting lists for this part can exceed 3-6 months, which could require customers to go the winter season without a working furnace. ... I suspect that Carrier is engaging in "planned obsolescence", and has artificially restricted the availability of this part in an effort to drive sales of new units. I can confirm with multiple HVAC experts in my area, as well as elsewhere in *****************, that this part is frequently failing in warranty. So, the part is not designed to last through the warranty period. Carrier appears to also be restricting supply of replacement parts, which could potentially force consumers to purchase new units. ... I would like the BBB and Carrier to contact me, and for a full or partial refund on the installation cost of the new system. The system failed in-warranty but Carrier can't fix it; so they should pay the replacement cost.Carrier Furnace Model: https://www.carrier.com/residential/en/us/products/furnaces/59mn7/Inducer Motor Model: HR46GH001 Example forum: https://www.reddit.com/r/hvacadvice/comments/q89f2n/carrier_59mn7_inducer_motor_failure/See also attached: carrier_distributior_email.pngBusiness Response

I am conditionally rejecting this response because:Because there is no confirmed availability of the part, I had no reasonable option except to replace the furnace. I am requesting Carrier pay for that furnace, because it's unreasonable to expect customers to wait on indefinitely backordered parts for in-warranty repair. It's also unreasonable for customers to have to escalate in-warranty complaints to the BBB, without full promise of honoring the warranty.

This cannot be the approved approach for fulfilling warranty repairs. I have encountered numerous other instances of Carrier customers who worked with their distributors, and received the same response: no availability, indefinite backorder. But when I escalate a complaint to the BBB, the part suddenly becomes available? That arouses suspicion. Furthermore, my complaint is not that the part was on *backorder*; my complaint is that Carrier corporation is likely *restricting* the availability of this part in an effort to force customers to buy new furnaces. This complaint is evidenced and supported by other customer stories, as well as multiple attempts by my own Carrier Distributor to obtain the part prior to this complaint.
Attached files: shows online discussions on this subject, in which multiple other Carrier customers reported this part failing with no backorder or availability, across North America over the last 12 months. I would suspect that if I reached out to multiple Carrier distributors to try to find this part right now, none would have it -- the only way to GET this part, it seems, is to file a complaint through the BBB. That is unacceptable and unreasonable.
**The only remediation I will accept in this situation is the full or partial repayment of the cost of replacement.**

I understand this was not the resolution you were seeking. I am sorry we are unable to provide a response in your favor.

Dear ******************,
I am very sorry that the terms of the warranty were not reviewed with you at the time of your purchase.
As per my previous response the warranty that Carrier provides is a replacement part; I am very sorry we cannot provide compensation to you for the labor charges incurred.
Sincerely,

5 brand new Carrier Heating/Cooling splits were installed in my home in March 2022. Within a few months of installation one of the units began to make loud noises while operating. It was discovered that the blower wheel on the unit was cracked. The company that installed the unit placed an order for a new part on 9/1/22 and I am still waiting for it to arrive. At this point after waiting over a month for the part, my child is without heat in his bedroom. Calls and emails to the company inquiring about when to expect the part were either not returned or the response was, we dont have any information for you at this time. My product is brand new and has a 10 year warranty. If the company cannot replace the part in a timely manner, they should replace the whole unit. Heat is essential this time of year and this matter is becoming urgent. I hope you can help me to get a better response from Carrier.Business Response

Dear ****************,
On behalf of Carrier, I am very sorry to learn of the problem you experienced.
We have reached out to the distributor who has confirmed they will be providing your service provider with a replacement unit. If you service provider has not reached out to you directly regarding scheduling the unit replacement you may want to contact them.
Thank you for your patience. I trust that a replacement unit will resolve this matter to your satisfaction.
Sincerely,
