Carrier Consumer Choice Limited Warranty Options
For designated Carrier branded residential products, a Consumer Choice limited warranty is available from participating Carrier dealers/contractors which provides the opportunity to choose between two Carrier warranty options at the time of product registration. A list of eligible products and applications is outlined below, and the two warranty options include:
- The default parts only warranty as outlined on the warranty card included with the product. This includes a 5-year warranty on parts¹ which extends to 10-years if product is properly registered within 90 days of original installation. (See applicable warranty cards for complete details)
- As an alternative to the parts only warranty outlined on the warranty card, a 5-year parts + 3-year labor warranty option is also available.* Eligible products must be registered within 90 days of original installation to be eligible to select this warranty option. If product is registered after 90 days of original installation, the default parts only warranty outlined on the warranty card included with the product will apply. This warranty option is subject to additional terms included below and on the Carrier.com website.
*NOTE: This 5-year parts + 3-year labor warranty option is available only if the installing dealer/contractor has elected to participate in the Consumer Choice warranty program and has accepted the Consumer Choice dealer terms and conditions.
