This page is for Orlando homeowners with a Carrier gas furnace or heat pump who want to know what’s wrong, what it costs, and whether it’s worth fixing. No jargon runaround. Just straight answers.
How Carrier Products Fail – and How We Fix Them
Carrier builds solid equipment, but every furnace line has its patterns. After years of repairing them across Orlando neighborhoods like Audubon Park, Baldwin Park, and Dr. Phillips, we know where Carrier units tend to break and why.
- Infinity and Performance series: faulty draft inducer motors. The draft inducer pulls combustion gases out of the heat exchanger before the burners fire. On Carrier Infinity 96 and Performance 80 units built roughly 2012 to 2018, the inducer bearings wear out early, producing a loud hum or a rattling noise on startup. The furnace may lock out entirely if the control board doesn’t sense proper draft. We replace the inducer with an OEM Carrier part when warranty applies, or a quality aftermarket motor when it doesn’t.
- 58 series (58STA, 58CVA): dirty flame sensors causing short cycling. The flame sensor is a thin metal rod that confirms the burners actually lit. Over time, oxidation builds up on the sensor, and the furnace fires up, shuts down, and repeats. Homeowners in Orlando sometimes go months thinking this is normal because the house still gets warm. We clean the sensor with a non-abrasive pad, test it, and show you the before-and-after reading so you know the fix was real.
- Comfort series: ignitor failures in humid crawlspaces and attics. Central Florida humidity is rough on hot surface ignitors. In Comfort 92 and Comfort 80 units installed in vented attics or damp crawlspaces, we see silicon nitride ignitors crack from the constant moisture swings, especially after a rainy season. Symptoms are a furnace that hums and clicks but never lights. We replace the ignitor and check the burner alignment so the new one doesn’t get cooked unevenly.
- Infinity series modulating gas valves: erratic flame levels. The modulating gas valve on Infinity 98 furnaces adjusts the flame size based on demand. When the valve starts failing, homeowners report the furnace running hot then cold, or a faint gas smell near the unit. This is not a DIY fix. We perform a manometer test (a pressure reading that tells us exactly what the valve is doing), confirm it’s out of spec, and replace it. On this repair, we always verify the heat exchanger integrity before and after.
- Heat pump hybrid systems: reversing valve sticking in Orlando’s shoulder seasons. Plenty of Carrier systems in Orlando are dual-fuel or all-electric heat pump setups. The reversing valve is what flips the system between heating and cooling, and when it sticks, you’ll get cold air in winter or heat in summer. Near Lake Nona and Winter Park, we see this often when homeowners switch from AC to heat for the first time in weeks. We test the valve, replace it if needed, and check the defrost board so your system doesn’t freeze up on the next cold snap.

AfterWhat Carrier Furnace Repair Costs in Orlando
We don’t hide behind “call for pricing.” Here’s the truth. Most Carrier furnace repairs in Orlando fall between $150 and $700 depending on the part and how deep the problem runs.
- Ignitor replacement: $150 – $300, including the part and labor.
- Flame sensor cleaning or replacement: $80 – $200, with the sensor usually replaced rather than just cleaned when it’s worn.
- Draft inducer motor: $350 – $700. The part alone is the main driver here.
- Gas valve replacement: $300 – $600. This includes pressure testing and a carbon monoxide check after install.
- Blower motor repair or replacement: $200 – $700 depending on whether it’s a standard motor or a variable-speed ECM model.
- Furnace tune-up: $80 – $200 for a full inspection, cleaning, and safety check. We recommend this annually in Orlando, even for furnaces that barely run.
What moves the price up? Furnace age, accessibility (tight attic crawls cost more labor time), and whether your unit is still under Carrier’s parts warranty. Call (850) 695-3178 for a free estimate. You’ll get a written number before any work begins.

Andre Fuller, our owner and lead technician, learned this trade at Los Angeles Trade-Technical College and has been turning wrenches for over two decades. He built this company around a rule that’s simpler than it sounds: tell the customer the price and the problem before anyone touches a single screw.
We service Carrier, Trane, and Lennox, plus Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard. If the diagnosis points to a bigger issue, we’ll tell you straight whether a repair makes sense or a replacement is the smarter money. No commission games. Our techs aren’t paid on what they sell. Every repair is guaranteed in writing, and if it fails, we return free.
FAQs
Carrier furnaces typically carry a 10-year parts warranty if you registered the unit within 90 days of installation, and a 20-year or lifetime heat exchanger warranty on higher-end lines like the Infinity series. If you don’t know your registration status, we can check the serial number during the visit. Even if the part is covered, you still pay labor, and we’ll tell you exactly what that number is before we start. Call (850) 695-3178 and we’ll walk you through your warranty status over the phone.
Most Carrier furnace repairs are completed the same day, and we offer 24/7 emergency service. If the part is common, like an ignitor or flame sensor, we likely have it on the truck. If it’s a specialty Carrier part, we order it and get you scheduled within a couple of days. A cold house in Orlando is not something you should wait out, so call (850) 695-3178 and we’ll tell you honestly how soon we can be there.
If your furnace is under 12 years old and the repair is under $700, repair is usually the right call. If the heat exchanger is cracked or the unit is approaching 15 to 18 years, replacement often makes more financial sense, especially with the efficiency gains on newer Carrier models. We’ll give you both numbers in writing and let you decide. No pressure, no scare tactics.
We use OEM Carrier parts when the unit is under warranty or the part is critical, like a gas valve or control board. For older units where an aftermarket part performs identically and costs significantly less, we’ll tell you the difference and let you choose. We never install a part we wouldn’t put in our own furnace.
Every repair we complete is backed by a written guarantee. If the same problem comes back within a year, we return and fix it at no charge. No deductible, no prorated nonsense, no phone tag. It’s part of The Relay Standard we hold every job to.
