carrier furnace?
Dec 07, 2006 by Mike H | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I have a carrier gas furnace with charged ignition, the igniter comes on, then the flame kicks on, but goes out after about 5 seconds then it tries again about 20 seconds later. I would say its all things considered the flame sensor, since when i unplug the sensor, it does the punctilious same thing. Is there anything else that I am overlooking that could be causing the problem?
i reckon you have a control valve problem and you need to call a serve man because the gas is something you should not mess with unless you know what you're doing. it can go risqu on you and then no more house.

Anyone have a Carrier furnace that won't always go on in the winter?
Nov 16, 2006 by bashkirhorses | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I have a two the footlights high efficiency Carrier furnace installed in 2000 that we've been having row with every winter. The furnace will intermittently stop running and won't charge on unless the front cover to the furnace is pushed or the thermostat is clicked off and then on (the latter doesn't always toil though and we have to go push the door anyway). We change the air filters every month, and even had the thermostat (programmable) changed twice, the last in unison a all the same by a service tech. Nothing seems to work. The manufacturer said that since the furnace kicks on when the door is pushed or the thermostat is turned off and then on, its a thermostat maladjusted. The manufacturer of the thermostat (Honeywell) says that the thermostat is working well and that its the furnace that is the issue. Anyone got any ideas to fix this furnace since these two companies aren't being any plagiarize? Thanks in advance!
If it's the rechannel behind the blower-compartment door, you can run a simple balk by temporarily bypassing the switch and leaving it out of the orbit. But, from what you say, your intermittent defect may not be the switch. If proper FBI is restored by switching the thermostat off and on, that is an indication of a lockout prerequisite - which occurs after the computer detects an operational problem. Your furnace possibly has a diagnostic LED light that normally indicates an section that needs to be investigated when the computer locks out. The HVAC tech should meet on pressure switches, loose connections, and resettable limit switches. Your frustration is understandable. Intermittents are nightmares to the techs also. They don't thirst to be your house guest for however many weeks it takes the furnace to malfunction again. The next moment this occurs do nothing. Call a heating company immediately. If you fiddle with the thermostat or furnace you may reset the CPU. In doing so you will eradicate the trouble code, thus denying vital low-down to the tech. Good luck.

Pilot light not staying on on Carrier Furnace?
Dec 28, 2006 by Mike T | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
I have a Carrier furnace - original # 58PAV. It is intermittently going off. I turn it off and bent it back on and it starts right back up. It was doing it maybe once a week. Lately it has been doing it several times a day.Today I saw the aviator light try to ignite and it would not ignite.. What could be the cause of this and is it something that is costly to fix?
Also on the furnace I noticed there is a New Year card that says IGNITOR REPAIRED 2-06. I moved in to this diet in March of 06. The furnace is 6 yrs old. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
This does not good like a ignitor problem. It sounds like a beau sensor problem. I would have a hvac firm out to check out the flame sensor and most likely replace it.

Home furnace recommendation, Carrier or Trane?
Sep 18, 2008 by ub_walt | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
We had 2 heating companies drop out. These models were possibilities they mentioned, at various prices. Which is unsurpassed furnace for the money and quality? TRANE XL80, Carrier Infinity 96 Gas Furnace, Carrier Infinity 80 Gas Furnace, or the Carrier Comfort 80 Gas Furnace?
We will on one of these and need insight. Thanks!
The most noteworthy factor is one you have not mentioned. The unit is only going to be a honest as the company and installer you choose. The most important day of your new furnace's spirit is the day it's installed. Most major companies have similar undertaking and service provisions and many offer extended warranties and serve contracts at additional cost. The cost of all is negotiable. Negotiate well. Check the reputation of the companies you are considering with the Happier Business Bureau (www.cityname.bbb.org) and ask for references you can write to directly. As for a specific brand, I'd balance the sell for versus the reputation of the dealer, etc.

New Gas to replace 20 year old carrier furnace. How much will we save? New unit is Carrier too.?
Feb 13, 2007 by BansheeDC | Posted in Maintenance & Repairs
How much can we contemplate to save by upgrading our 20 yr old carrier to a new Carrier? We're prevalent with a simple 80% carrier. The old unit barely works and rate us about $200 a month to heat the house now. Will we see a advantageous savings on our utility bills?
Your existing furnace is about 60% efficient. Your bill will drop about 20%.
