When it comes to choosing a heating unit for your home, it’s usually a good idea to go with a company whose reputation speaks for itself. That is exactly the case with Carrier, a company that has been a mainstay in the industry for over 100 years. Here is some more information to help you decide if they have what you’re looking for.
Carrier heating systems cost between $900 and $2,200, depending on the make and model. You can find an authorized Carrier near you, or contact a certified HVAC contractor for help deciding on a system.
Carrier’s heating systems are considered very durable, and come with a limited warranty of 20 years to a lifetime on the heat exchanger, and a 5-10 year warranty on parts.
While any big furnace repairs should be tackled by an HVAC specialist, there are certain things you can do to ensure that your unit is running smoothly. Regularly clean and level your thermostat (especially with older units), check the visible wiring and electrical connections for burns or loose wire nuts, and look at your vent connection and chimney for rust or gaps.
The highest AFUE is 96.6%, although none of their units go below 80%.
The oil furnaces have, at best, an AFUE rating of 86.6%, so if energy efficiency is what you are going for, then gas may be the best choice.
Willis Carrier, the founder of Carrier heating and cooling products, is credited with inventing the first system for “manufactured weather” in 1902. The company now sells products on six continents and in 172 countries around the world.
The Carrier warranty only covers parts for units that have been registered in their system, so make sure to register your system after purchasing.
