Why can't I find the correct size furnace filter at my local home improvement store?

The filter shipped with your Carrier unit is made from higher-quality materials than those of the disposable filters found in retail stores. For that reason, replacement Carrier filters can only be purchased through a Carrier Dealer like us. However, keep in mind that Carrier filters are reusable, and can be washed by hand in cold water.

What does my warranty cover?

Under the standard factory warranty, Carrier covers parts that fail during the warranty period due to defect in the part. The warranty does not cover labor. A warranty certificate was included with your homeowner information packet, and is specific to the model numbers, serial numbers and installation dates of your products. If you cannot find your warranty certificate, we will also be able to provide you with the information.

Why is the SEER rating on the Energy Guide different than what my dealer quoted?

Each split system cooling unit has a nominal SEER rating. This rating can be increased with the upgrade of the indoor unit. The SEER rating of a system is derived based on the combination of equipment installed in the home. The outdoor equipment (heat pump or air conditioner), as well as the indoor equipment (evaporator coil and furnace, or air handler), play a vital role in the rating. Please contact us for more information.

What is the life expectancy of my unit?

I am an Architect and need application/specification information so that I can specify Carrier products... where do I obtain this information?

We can provide you with the needed specifications, and can also set you up to access the Carrier HVACpartners web site so that you can access the information yourself. If you are seeking specifications on older equipment, so as to specify something similar, it will be helpful if you have the model and serial number available.
