Hello folks,
This just came to my attention, and I am posting it here JUST IN CASE any homes in The Villages may have perhaps upgraded to one of these units. Understand that this will NOT pertain to 99% of the homes here in The Villages. Although all of the newer homes in The Villages DO have Carrier heat pumps, they are NOT this series.
I am only posting this in case someone upgraded to this unit. If it helps even just a few folks it is worth it. PLEASE NOTE that I have not yet seen even one of these in The Villages, so please do not be alarmed. If you have one of these you would most likely know it, as they cost MUCH more than the typical heat pump here.
Carrier is recalling about 23,300 heat pumps because a capacitor in the fuse boards can stop working and cause the unit to overheat, posing a fire hazard.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission says the company has received 41 reports of the heat pumps overheating. No injuries, fires or property damage have been reported.
The recall is for two-, three-, four-, and five-ton size heat pump units sold under the Carrier Greenspeed and Bryant Evolution Extreme brand names. They were sold at Sears stores and HVAC dealers from June 2011 through August 2016.
The Carrier Greenspeed model numbers are 25VNA024, 25VNA036, 25VNA048 and 25VNA060. The Bryant Evolution Extreme model numbers are 280ANV024, 280ANV036, 280ANV048 and 280ANV060.
Owners should contact Carrier or Bryant for instructions on receiving a free replacement fuse board installed by authorized Carrier or Bryant technicians.
Remedy:
Consumers should contact Carrier or Bryant for instructions on receiving a free replacement fuse board installed by authorized Carrier or Bryant technicians.
Incidents/Injuries:
Carrier has received 41 reports of the heat pumps overheating. No injuries, fires or property damage have been reported.
Units:
About 23,300 (In addition about 2,000 sold in Canada)
Sold At:
Sears stores and HVAC dealers nationwide from June 2011 through August 2016 for between $12,000 and $18,000.
Respectfully, Frank D'Angelo
