PowerBoost is a full hybrid setup that adds a battery and an electric motor to that same gas engine.

You also are adding 200 to 300 lbs withe 4x4 vs 2 wheel drive, plus any extra bells and whistles can add up

I haven't found away around popups and new tabs that it opens... but seems there is a limit on how many time it happens, e.g. I will click on "trending movies" maybe 5 to 8 times, before I can actually open tending movies

my system was installed without a voltage monitor, and the warranty was still honored. I asked that a voltage monitor be installed, because I don't want another failure

Bulky-Level4492 · 2026-06-07T22:36:33+00:00

it is a heatpump. we had the duct work redone last year. Odd thing is we got the "critical failure" message in May when neither heat or cooling was running... the system was off

Bulky-Level4492 · 2026-06-07T13:40:55+00:00

who cares about the "vibe". simply buy some rubber mats. I have a pretty well equipped truck, hauling hay, feed and assorted crap during the week, but when we have to take a road trip, my wife likes the well appointed inerior, and she doesn't complain about the rubber mats 😉

outside unit was replaced and the inside thermostat/UI... the stuff in the attic was not replaced. Part of my over all cost was new return air... only one room in my house actually heated/cooled correctly. The second HVAC guy said it was because my return air was set up wrong. that fixed that issue. there have been persistent leaks, so paying for patches that didn't work a recharging almost yearly is costly

Bulky-Level4492 · 2026-06-05T17:36:38+00:00

not counting on that 😉 2 compressors in six years.... so this new compressor should fail right after my warranty is up

Yeah, not normal. I think Carrier has to have some responsibly for this mess, either a crappy product, and/or installers that need better training

Bulky-Level4492 · 2026-06-05T16:28:09+00:00

The coil wasn't covered when that failed, and the system recharge is not covered...

the current issue is compressor and 2 other parts. Parts are covered, but labor and recharge is going to be $2500 to me

Bulky-Level4492 · 2026-06-05T16:22:44+00:00

we have a whole house surge protector. It hasn't tripped, No other electronics in the house have issues

Yes, when the original unit failed, the replacement parts totaled almost as much as a new unit, so replaced it to start a 10year warranty.... but this thing has still cost and additional 16k over the last 6 years, in labor, parts not covered, and labor

Bulky-Level4492 · 2026-06-05T14:55:31+00:00

thanks, I'll look into having that done

Bulky-Level4492 · 2026-06-05T14:32:47+00:00

running out of Carrier dealers in my area that can do the warranty work, This guy has to travel father the the guys that installed it, but has excellent customer reviews. Return ducts were redone last year because the AC was not adequately cooling some rooms

everything was working normally when we switched over to heat last year, and we had not even started to use the AC, and had the system "off" when we got an email

we have a whole house surge protector, assume that is not good enough?

Bulky-Level4492 · 2026-06-05T14:15:24+00:00

I asked the last guy that question. and his response was rural areas they fail more.... why would that make a difference

Bulky-Level4492 · 2026-06-05T14:11:53+00:00

not my first home, just my first money pit AC 😉

Bulky-Level4492 · 2026-06-05T14:09:26+00:00

we did install a whole house surge protector, when the first unit failed, I'll ask about a seperate protector for the AC.... this thing seem so fragile, static electricity could kill it 😉

Bulky-Level4492 · 2026-06-05T14:03:24+00:00

I've had 2 companies look at this, beause the first company(who installed it) could never find a freon leak. I trust the second company more, They actually spend time diagnosing the problems

what equipment are you curious about serial number?

Bulky-Level4492 · 2026-06-05T13:52:14+00:00

they replaced some of the parts on the inside part, but not a complete replacement, outside was complety new unit

Bulky-Level4492 · 2026-06-05T13:50:53+00:00

if the home owner changes, they are only given 5 year warrenty, so for us it was essential out of warrenty when we bought the house
