"nothing but problem"
In less than three months the heating motor and heating element had a short and burned the wire harness. It also burned a hole in the mount. This could be very unsafe I think the company should pay for the labor on this.

"Payne a/c has been nothing"
Payne a/c has been nothing but a loss since it was installed. Wish I had took the $2,500 I spent for it and got a new toy. I had to replace it after 1 year and $800.00 more to repair it in labor and freon. I just got tired of the cost of the junk and put in a Good Carrier and have had no issues since......

"Very Upset Consumer with Company Who Does Not Stand Behind Product"
Unit was installed 8/13/2007. In 2008 unit had holes in coil--repaired-- following year same problem, third year, we demanded coil be replaced-- we paid the service work, yesterday got home after being gone for weekend-- unit not working (temperature outside 109--inside 90). Called Carrier Corporate this morning after very little rest last night because of the heat and just like before, they do not give any satisfaction. This unit is a pile of junk, has been since day one. Purchased through home owners insurance-- NEVER buy that either. We need to get that brand off the market. I'm looking into all avenues of consumer protection--let's band together and make them take it off the market--and provide those of us who have been harmed with restitution.

"Stay Away Dont Even Consider"
We had two units installed in our home a little less than two years ago. Since then we have had to call out the techs four times. These units are so bad. We had them put in to replace our builder grade original ac units but what I wouldn't do to get those back. If you're considering putting a Payne in your house, think again. It's not a wise idea, its a mistake that I wish I could take back.

"payne, carrier"
Bought a home last year ,have a Carrier unit inside 05' and Payne 09' on the outside unit. Both carried a 5 year parts warranty. Had problems both in heat of summer and the cold winter(high electric bills)To the point that I can't keep the contractors coming out. Don't even bother seeing if Carrier will help even if under warranty. I have to replace the whole system. Will never recommend or put a Carrier in my home.

"Incompetent? A polite description"
Shoddy workmanship, Incompetent Air Conditioner Repairmen. This is VERY polite as a description of PAYNE. Let them rename themselves PAIN for Obvious reasons. Heat related headaches among them. You may find this amusing. But I assure you , it isnt.

"BOTH EXPANSION VALVES"
Had two Payne units installed 5 months ago, and had nothing but service call after service call. Come to find out - both expansion valves were DEFECTIVE and had to be replaced. So, I did some research and found that this is ONE OF MANY ONGOING PROBLEMS with Payne. Wish I had known this $1,800 before! STAY AWAY FROM PAYNE! IT'S A PAIN IN THE ASS AND A PAIN FOR YOUR POCKETBOOK. I now wish I had listened to my HVAC contractor and spent the extra $600 on Goodman units!

"Do Not Purchase a Payne"
Our Payne was installed 2 years ago. Already the compressor has gone out. Although the compressor is under warranty, the company does not cover the labor charge to replace it. The price to replace the compressor is $900 plus tax. This is outrageous, when a major purchase is only 2 years old.
