"58uvb60-14 2 stage"
Had my Carrier installed by one of Carrier's recommended dealer in Kentwood, Michigan. In August of 2010. This would have been my 3rd summer turning our AC on with zero results. Repairman came out, we were his 4th call this week for same unit and same problem, corrosion coil. What was suppose to be a 3-hour warranty job turned into a 2-day process due to the toxic chemicals that were now in. y system. I was also told that, although Carrier is aware of the faulty coil they will not cover the labor. Here is the fun part, a friend of mine in a different town had the same unit installed and all parts and labor were covered. Stay tuned, we will see who is telling the truth soon. Carrier or Kentwood Plumbing and Heating. The biggest issue however is Carrier has a huge issue with the coils and they need to do something about it. We had toxic chemicals in our unit, who's to say if my family was breathing any of that in.

"Infinity 96"
Very disappointed in the Carrier furnace and the company. We bought a Carrier furnace 6 years ago ($5600!) and 5 years later we started having problems. We have had to pay for many service calls and now it's finally broken down- basically, the cost to repair is too high and with no guarantee that something else won't go wrong we figure we may as well invest in a new furnace... but it certainly won't be a Carrier!! ...Nor will I recommend this product to anyone.

Review:
"Not Reliable"
Bought the furnace and less than a year out of warranty the ventor motor has died. Carrier would not stand behind the product. For a "so-called" premium product (at least one with a premium price), I would have expected better reliability and at least a customer service department that gave a damn. Parts are very expensive - better to stay away from carrier and buy a product from a manufactuerer that is relaible.

"Infinity is Total CRAP! Will never buy carrier again..."
Have Infinity hvac system installed brand new in one of my rentals and has had to be serviced at least 3 times a year. Average cost is around $400 for labor and they always have to wait for a part which is "covered" under warranty! Both ac & heat are a problem. Will be going with Trane or sears for other properties. CARRIER SUCKS!

"Warm and fuzzy from our Carrier furnace!"
We love our Carrier furnace (Infinity 96). The heat is always consistent. It is quiet and it heats our house very evenly. We're moving now and planning on upgrading the furnace in the new place - I don't think that we'll choose any other brand.

Review:
I have been installing Carrier furnaces since 2000. I have lost count of how many 96% Infinity 58MVB / 58MVP furnaces we have installed and honestlty would not use anything else. As a contractor I can sleep at night knowing that our installations are up and in operation keeping our clients warm and coo, 24/7. For ownership, if I put them in, 88HVAC owns the responsibility of keeping the unit running. They are quiet, long lasting and trouble-free. My mom has one, her neighbor, and my cousins all have a 58MVB in their homes. Oh, by the way, Carrier are at the apex of their brand. Their other brands are good, but are not Carrier. I had two inducers fail on me, on board in the last 6 years. And Carrier replaced it immediately under warrantee, no hassles.

More Consumer Reviews

Comments on HVAC-Talk message boards and heating contractor sites are mixed in opinion but generally favor the Carrier equipment:

  • In the HVAC-Talk forums some posters claim that Carrier's air blowers and inducer motors are loud and rattling but do run consistently and provide good results.
  • Others in the HVAC-Talk forums state that Carrier requires a considerable amount of precision and maintenance to run, but the wiring is easy and consistent with industry standards, and repairs are very easy to conduct.
  • One author at the HVAC-Talk forums claimed that a Carrier's inducer motor failed after 13 years and was easy to fix.
  • Another person, presumably a professional in the heating and cooling industry, insisted Carrier was one of the most superior brands on the market, in engineering, performance, and dependability.
