It was supposed to be installed yesterday, but somehow it blew off the truck yesterday on I-75 and was run over by a semi.
There must be more to this story. New Carrier systems (and most other major brands) come with a 5-year labor and 10-year parts warranty. So, can I assume that this is not a Carrier system? $10,500 is a lot of money for a system that has a substandard warranty. A large local company, like Munn's, would have been able to get replacement coils in a day or so, or just swap them out from an in-stock unit.
