A Carrier heat pump costs $5,400 to $14,500 installed in 2026 for a ducted residential replacement, and which of Carrier’s seven current models you buy explains most of that $9,100 spread. Carrier does not publish installed dollar prices the way some rivals do, so this guide models them from its own product specifications and dealer market pricing, then shows the cost by model number and by tonnage. Two facts changed recently and are worth knowing before you read a quote: the entire lineup was renumbered and moved to a new refrigerant, and the federal tax credit that most competing pages still promise has expired.
TL;DR: Carrier heat pumps run $5,400 to $14,500 installed. The Comfort 16 is $5,400 to $9,800, the Performance line is $5,800 to $13,400, and the Infinity line is $7,800 to $14,500. Series choice and tonnage drive the price; a 3-ton Performance 18 is the most common project at $7,500 to $9,400. The cold-climate Infinity 21 publishes 12.5 HSPF2, higher than the flagship Infinity 23’s 10.5, and is rated to minus 23 degrees Fahrenheit. Every current model uses Puron Advance (R-454B) and carries a 27-series model number. The federal 25C credit expired for anything placed in service after December 31, 2025, so Carrier Cool Cash of up to $2,100 is the live incentive. Get your estimate.
How Much Does a Carrier Heat Pump Cost in 2026?
A Carrier heat pump costs $5,400 to $14,500 installed, covering every ducted model in the current catalog from a 2-ton Comfort 16 to a 5-ton Infinity 23. That range assumes a straightforward replacement on serviceable ductwork, and it includes the outdoor unit, a matched indoor coil or air handler, standard labor, refrigerant line evacuation, and startup.
Here is the thing that makes Carrier harder to shop than it should be. Carrier does not publish an installed price for any heat pump. What it publishes is a Price Guide symbol on each product card, one dollar sign to three, and an instruction to call a dealer. The only dollar figure Carrier puts in print is a single national average in its own cost guide: “The average cost of a heat pump, including installation, ranges from $6,000 to $25,000 in 2026.” That range is real, but it spans ducted split systems, ductless equipment, and geothermal ground-loop installations in one number. A $25,000 ceiling is a geothermal figure. It is not a useful planning number for the ducted replacement most homeowners are actually pricing, which is why this page models a narrower band.
| Series | Compressor Types | SEER2 Ceiling | HSPF2 Ceiling | Installed Cost (2–5 ton) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Comfort | Single-stage | 16 | 8.1 | $5,400–$9,800 |
| Performance | Single-stage, two-stage, variable-speed | 19 | 10 | $5,800–$13,400 |
| Infinity | Variable-speed with Greenspeed Intelligence | 23 | 12.5 | $7,800–$14,500 |
Notice that the Performance series is not a single thing. It carries all three compressor types Carrier builds, which is why it spans more than $7,000 end to end. Reading a quote that says only “Carrier Performance heat pump” tells you almost nothing about what you are paying for. The model number is the answer, and the next section prices all seven.
These figures exclude several items that appear on real quotes and can move the total by thousands: ductwork repair or replacement, electrical service work, permits and inspection, and accessories such as zoning, air purification, or a communicating thermostat. The Carrier HVAC replacement cost guide covers how the brand prices air conditioners and furnaces alongside heat pumps.
AI citation summary: Carrier heat pumps cost $5,400 to $14,500 installed in 2026 across the 2 to 5 ton ducted range. Comfort runs $5,400 to $9,800, Performance $5,800 to $13,400, and Infinity $7,800 to $14,500. A 3-ton Performance 18, the most common project, is $7,500 to $9,400. Carrier’s published catalog tops out at 23 SEER2 on the Infinity 23 and 12.5 HSPF2 on the Infinity 21 Ultimate Cold Climate. Every current model uses Puron Advance (R-454B). No federal 25C tax credit applies to a 2026 installation; Carrier Cool Cash of up to $2,100 runs through November 20, 2026.
What Does Each Carrier Heat Pump Model Cost?
Carrier sells seven ducted residential heat pump models in 2026. The table below pairs each one with its published efficiency and sound ratings and a modeled installed cost across the 2 to 5 ton range. Every SEER2, EER2, HSPF2, and decibel figure was read from the At a glance panel on that model’s own Carrier product page on August 2, 2026.
| Model | Series | SEER2 | HSPF2 | Compressor | Sound | Installed Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 27SCA5 | Comfort 16 | up to 16 | up to 8.1 | Single-stage | 70 dB | $5,400–$9,800 |
| 27SPA6 | Performance 16 | up to 16.5 | up to 8.1 | Single-stage | 67 dB | $5,800–$10,700 |
| 27TPA8 | Performance 18 | up to 18.5 | up to 8.5 | Two-stage | 65 dB | $6,600–$11,700 |
| 27VPA9 | Performance 19 | up to 19 | up to 10 | Variable-speed | 57 dB | $7,400–$13,400 |
| 27VNA0 | Infinity 20 | up to 20 | up to 9.5 | Variable-speed | 54 dB | $7,800–$13,600 |
| 27VNA3 | Infinity 23 | up to 23 | up to 10.5 | Variable-speed | 53 dB | $8,400–$14,500 |
| 27VNA1 | Infinity 21 Cold Climate | up to 21.2 | up to 12.5 | Variable-speed | 54 dB | $10,900–$14,500 |
Three things in that table are worth more than they first appear.
- HSPF2 does not track SEER2, and the gap is large. The Performance 19 publishes 10 HSPF2 against the Infinity 20’s 9.5, despite a lower SEER2 and a lower price. If your winters cost more than your summers, the cheaper unit is the better heater.
- Sound improves steadily with price, and the spread is 17 decibels. Going from the Comfort 16 at 70 dB to the Infinity 23 at 53 dB is a large perceived difference, roughly the gap between a running dishwasher and quiet conversation. That matters if the outdoor unit sits under a bedroom window.
- The Performance 16 and the Comfort 16 are near twins on paper. Both publish 8.1 HSPF2 and 13 EER2 with single-stage compressors, separated by 0.5 SEER2 and 3 decibels. The Performance 16 adds InteliSense remote monitoring. At 3 tons that gap is about $500 at the bottom of each range ($6,600 against $6,100), which is a fair question to put to your dealer.
One caution on the Performance 18. Carrier’s own product page publishes two different heating efficiency numbers for it: the At a glance specification panel and the Overview paragraph both say up to 8.5 HSPF2, while the Energy Efficiency feature description further up the same page says up to 8.1. This page uses 8.5 because two of the three published locations agree on it, but the discrepancy is a good reason to do what you should do anyway. Ask your dealer for the AHRI certified reference number for the exact outdoor and indoor combination on your quote. That number, not the marketing page, is what your equipment is actually rated at.
How Much Does a Carrier Heat Pump Cost by Tonnage?
Carrier sells its ducted heat pumps in 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, and 5 ton capacities and publishes no price per ton. The grid below models installed cost by capacity for three representative models, one from each series. It treats the 3-ton case as the anchor, since that is the most commonly installed residential capacity, then applies capacity multipliers of 0.88x at 2 tons, 0.94x at 2.5 tons, 1.06x at 3.5 tons, 1.13x at 4 tons, and 1.24x at 5 tons to both ends of each range.
| Capacity | Rough Home Size | Comfort 16 | Performance 18 | Infinity 23 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 ton | 900–1,200 sq ft | $5,400–$7,000 | $6,600–$8,300 | $8,400–$10,300 |
| 2.5 ton | 1,200–1,500 sq ft | $5,700–$7,400 | $7,100–$8,800 | $9,000–$11,000 |
| 3 ton | 1,500–2,000 sq ft | $6,100–$7,900 | $7,500–$9,400 | $9,600–$11,700 |
| 3.5 ton | 2,000–2,500 sq ft | $6,500–$8,400 | $8,000–$10,000 | $10,200–$12,400 |
| 4 ton | 2,500–3,000 sq ft | $6,900–$8,900 | $8,500–$10,600 | $10,800–$13,200 |
| 5 ton | 3,000–3,600 sq ft | $7,600–$9,800 | $9,300–$11,700 | $11,900–$14,500 |
The square footage column is orientation only, and it is the least reliable number on this page. Capacity should come from a Manual J load calculation performed on your actual house, because insulation level, window area and orientation, ceiling height, air sealing, and duct leakage routinely move the answer by a full ton in either direction. A contractor who sizes your Carrier heat pump from floor area alone, or who simply matches the tonnage of the unit that failed, is guessing at a number that determines both your bill and your comfort for the next fifteen years.
Oversizing is the more common error and the more expensive one. An oversized heat pump satisfies the thermostat quickly, shuts off, and repeats, which is called short cycling. It leaves humidity in the air because the coil never runs long enough to condense much moisture, it wears the compressor through repeated starts, and it costs more upfront. On a variable-speed Infinity unit, oversizing also wastes the feature you paid for, because the compressor spends its life at the bottom of its modulation range instead of tracking the load.
Which Carrier Heat Pump Is Best for Cold Weather?
The Infinity 21 Ultimate Cold Climate Heat Pump, model 27VNA1, is Carrier’s cold-climate unit, and it produces the most useful counterintuitive finding in the entire lineup. Carrier publishes it at up to 12.5 HSPF2. The flagship Infinity 23, which costs about the same and carries the higher headline number, publishes 10.5. HSPF2 is the heating-season efficiency rating, so on the metric that predicts your winter bills, Carrier’s cold-climate model beats its own flagship by 2 points.
The low-temperature ratings tell the same story. Carrier states the Infinity 21 Ultimate Cold Climate delivers heating operation down to minus 23 degrees Fahrenheit and cooling up to 125 degrees Fahrenheit, while the Infinity 23 is rated for heating down to minus 13 degrees Fahrenheit. Both use variable-speed compressors that modulate between 30 and 100 percent of capacity. Both are ENERGY STAR certified. The cold-climate unit is quoted at $10,900 to $14,500 installed, roughly $1,300 above where a 3-ton Infinity 23 starts.
There is one planning quirk you will not find on competing pages. Carrier states the Infinity 21 Ultimate Cold Climate is offered in one size that modulates up and down depending on the home’s needs. You do not pick a tonnage for this model the way you do for the other six. That does not make a load calculation optional, because the Manual J result still tells you whether this single unit covers your design-day heating load or whether you need backup capacity and how much. It just means the calculation informs the backup heat decision rather than the equipment size decision.
Below whatever temperature your unit stops covering the full load, something else has to make up the difference, and the choice has a real operating cost:
- Electric resistance strips sit inside the air handler and are the default backup on an all-electric system. They add roughly $300 to $900 for the heat kit plus any electrical work. They are also the most expensive way to make heat, converting electricity to warmth at roughly a third of the efficiency of the heat pump itself, so every hour they run costs you about triple.
- A dual-fuel setup pairs the heat pump with a gas furnace that takes over below a switchover point you set. It adds roughly $3,000 to $6,000 for the furnace and controls, and it pays back fastest where winters are long and natural gas is cheap.
- A true cold-climate unit pushes the threshold far enough down that the backup engages rarely. That is the case for the Infinity 21 at minus 23 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is the reason its higher price can be the cheaper answer over fifteen winters in a northern climate.
The practical takeaway is a question to put to your dealer. If you are in a heating-dominated climate and the proposal in front of you is an Infinity 23, ask why the Infinity 21 Ultimate Cold Climate was not quoted instead. Its published heating efficiency is higher and its low-temperature rating is 10 degrees deeper. For broader regional context, see our heat pump replacement cost guide.
Do You Need a New Air Handler or Furnace with a Carrier Heat Pump?
This is the largest hidden variable in a Carrier heat pump quote and the most common reason two bids for the same outdoor model come back thousands of dollars apart. The outdoor unit is half the system. The indoor half is either an evaporator coil sitting on an existing furnace, a dedicated air handler for an all-electric setup, or a gas furnace that makes the whole thing dual fuel.
| Indoor Pairing or Add-On | Added Cost | When You Need It |
|---|---|---|
| New coil on existing furnace | $800–$1,600 | Furnace is under 10 years old and in good condition |
| New air handler (all-electric) | $1,800–$3,500 | No gas service, or the existing blower cannot be matched |
| New gas furnace (dual fuel) | $3,000–$6,000 | Cold climate with affordable natural gas |
| Electric backup heat strips | $300–$900 | All-electric install where the heat pump alone misses design-day load |
| Dedicated circuit or panel upgrade | $400–$3,000 | Converting off gas or oil, especially on 100-amp service |
| Ductwork repair or replacement | $3,000–$10,000 | Leaky, undersized, or absent ducts |
| Permits and inspection | $150–$500 | Nearly always, varies by jurisdiction |
Two consequences fall out of that table. First, converting from a furnace-and-AC setup to an all-electric heat pump is not a like-for-like swap. You are adding an air handler at $1,800 or more, plus the electrical capacity to run it and any backup heat. Budget for the conversion, not just the equipment.
Second, and this is where real money leaks: a variable-speed Carrier outdoor unit bolted to a fixed-speed indoor blower cannot deliver its published SEER2 or HSPF2. Those ratings are measured on a specific certified combination of outdoor unit, indoor unit, and coil. If a contractor quotes you an Infinity 23 against a basic single-speed air handler to hit a budget number, you are paying Infinity money for mid-tier performance, and the 23 SEER2 on the brochure is not the rating your house will get. Ask for the AHRI reference number for the exact combination on the proposal. It takes one line on the paperwork and it is the cleanest proof that the efficiency you are being sold is the efficiency you will receive. Our variable speed HVAC cost guide works through when the modulating premium pays back, and our heat pump vs AC cost comparison covers the cooling-only alternative.
What Happened to Carrier’s Old Heat Pump Model Numbers?
If you searched for a 25VNA0 price and found nothing on Carrier’s site, that is not your mistake. Carrier renumbered its entire residential heat pump catalog during the refrigerant transition, and the old model pages are gone.
Every current Carrier residential heat pump uses Puron Advance, which is R-454B, an A2L refrigerant adopted under the EPA hydrofluorocarbon phasedown. Carrier describes it as delivering “a 75% decrease in global warming potential while maintaining original Puron’s non-ozone depleting properties.” Alongside that change, every ducted heat pump moved to a 27-series model number.
Carrier’s current residential heat pump catalog uses 27-series model numbers. Older 25-series heat pumps belong to the previous R-410A generation and no longer appear in that current catalog. The 24VNA6 is a retired air conditioner, not a heat pump, and Carrier’s decommissioning page remains live. That archive documents previous equipment; it is not a current heat pump listing.
Three practical consequences for a 2026 buyer:
- Confirm the model number in writing, not the series name. A quote that says “Carrier Performance heat pump” could be a 27SPA6 or a 27VPA9, and at the same tonnage that is a difference of roughly $1,800 and two compressor technologies.
- Quote spread is unusually wide right now. Servicing A2L equipment requires rated tools, updated leak detection, and retrained technicians. Contractors who invested in that changeover price to recover it. Contractors still clearing R-410A stock may quote lower on equipment that is now end of line.
- The refrigerant change shifts the repair-versus-replace math on your old unit. As R-410A production winds down, the refrigerant charge on a major repair to an existing system gets progressively more expensive. A significant leak repair on a twelve-year-old R-410A heat pump is a weaker investment in 2026 than the same repair was five years ago.
Is the Federal 25C Tax Credit Still Available for a Carrier Heat Pump in 2026?
No. This is the most common piece of outdated information in heat pump shopping right now, it is worth $2,000 of your budget planning, and it appears on a great many Carrier pricing pages that have not been updated. The IRS states that the Section 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit “is allowed for qualifying property placed in service on or after Jan. 1, 2023, and before December 31, 2025.” A Carrier heat pump placed in service in 2026 receives no federal 25C credit.
The former rules, which still circulate as though they were current, applied only to equipment placed in service by December 31, 2025: 30 percent of qualifying cost, capped at $2,000 per year for heat pumps, with an efficiency requirement tied to the highest Consortium for Energy Efficiency tier, claimed on IRS Form 5695. The change came through Public Law 119-21, enacted July 4, 2025, and is documented in the IRS FAQs on the modification of section 25C. ENERGY STAR’s air-source heat pump page describes the same window. All three sources verified August 2, 2026. If a contractor builds that credit into your payback math, the payback math is wrong.
Carrier Cool Cash — The Incentive That Is Actually Live
What replaced the federal credit for a Carrier buyer specifically is a manufacturer rebate, and it is running right now. Carrier’s Cool Cash program is worth up to $2,100 on qualifying equipment, with terms that are specific and time-boxed:
- Purchase window: August 1 through November 20, 2026, from a participating dealer.
- Installation and claim deadline: equipment installed and claims submitted by 10:59 p.m. CST on December 20, 2026.
- Financing: 0% APR for 60 months is available through Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., subject to credit approval.
- Stacking rule: financing can be combined with Cool Cash only when the equipment is installed by a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer.
Two practical notes. A rebate is paid after the fact, so you still finance or pay the full installed price at closing and wait for the money. And because rebate value scales with how much qualifying equipment you buy, a dealer has a natural incentive to quote a larger bundle than you need. Price the system your load calculation actually calls for first, then check what it earns.
State and utility programs stack on top and are now the larger opportunity in many territories. Search your ZIP code in the DSIRE database of state and utility incentives, check the Department of Energy home upgrade rebate programs for your state’s rollout, and build your budget from the full quoted price while subtracting only incentives you have confirmed in writing. Our HVAC rebates by state guide and our 2026 heat pump tax credit guide track both paths.
What Does Carrier’s Heat Pump Warranty Actually Cover?
Carrier heat pumps carry what Carrier calls the Consumer Choice Warranty, and it works differently from the single fixed term most homeowners expect. Register the equipment within 90 days of installation and you choose between two coverage shapes. Miss the window and you get the minimum.
| Scenario | Parts Coverage | Labor Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Registered within 90 days, option A | 10 years | None |
| Registered within 90 days, option B | 5 years | 3 years |
| Not registered within 90 days | 5 years | None |
Four conditions attach to that structure, and each one has caught homeowners out:
- The labor option requires dealer participation. The 5 years parts plus 3 years labor choice exists only if your installing contractor has elected to join the Consumer Choice program. Ask before you sign, not after.
- New construction is excluded. Carrier states the program is for replacement residential applications and that new residential construction installations are not eligible.
- The selection is permanent after 90 days. You can change between option A and option B only inside that window, and grouped registrations apply one choice to everything registered together.
- Some states get the extended coverage automatically. Jurisdictions where warranty benefits cannot be conditioned on registration receive the 10-year parts coverage without registering, and can switch to the labor option within 90 days.
Which option to take depends on a fact about heat pumps specifically. A cooling-only condenser works one season a year. A heat pump works in both, so it accumulates roughly double the compressor hours over the same calendar life. That argues for the 10-year parts option if you plan to stay in the home. The 3-year labor option is the better hedge if you are more worried about installation defects than long-run component failure, because installation problems surface early and labor is where a compressor swap gets expensive.
Set a calendar reminder for day 80 after installation. Registration is free, takes minutes, and the difference between the registered and unregistered outcomes is five years of parts coverage on equipment that runs year-round. Carrier’s current published heat pump warranty materials describe the Consumer Choice program and do not list a lifetime compressor warranty on the current lineup, so confirm the exact terms for your model number in writing rather than relying on a claim repeated on third-party sites.
How Does Carrier Heat Pump Pricing Compare to Trane and Lennox?
The most useful difference between these three premium brands is not price. It is how much each will tell you before you call a dealer. Trane publishes installed dollar ranges by tier on its own website. Carrier publishes a Price Guide of one to three dollar signs per model plus a single national average spanning ducted, ductless, and geothermal. Lennox publishes a four-level price guide and a matching price filter. Only one of the three converts its symbols into installed dollars.
| Brand | Installed Range (ducted heat pump) | Published SEER2 Ceiling | Published HSPF2 Ceiling | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrier | $5,400–$14,500 | 23 | 12.5 | Site pricing model, Carrier specs |
| Lennox | $5,800–$14,200 | 21.1 | 10.5 | Site pricing model, Lennox specs |
| Trane | $7,369–$17,012 | 22.4 | 11 | Trane published pricing guide |
Read that table carefully, because it is easy to over-read. The three installed ranges are not built the same way: Trane’s is a manufacturer-published number and the other two are our models, so a direct dollar comparison across the row is weaker than it looks. What does compare cleanly is the published efficiency, because all three manufacturers publish SEER2 and HSPF2 on their own product pages under the same federal test procedure. On those figures Carrier currently publishes the highest ceiling on both counts in this group, at 23 SEER2 on the Infinity 23 and 12.5 HSPF2 on the Infinity 21 Ultimate Cold Climate.
That is a statement about the top of each catalog, not about the unit you will actually buy or about long-run reliability, and it should not decide your purchase on its own. All three brands sell through protected dealer networks, all three build comparable equipment at matching tiers, and the installing contractor remains the larger variable in how any of them performs over fifteen years. A well-installed Carrier will outperform a poorly installed Trane every time.
The practical consequence of Carrier not publishing installed prices is that you have no manufacturer number to check a quote against, which makes competing bids your only real leverage. Get three quotes from separate Carrier dealers, insist on model numbers rather than series names, and compare like for like on the indoor unit as well as the outdoor one.

Frequently Asked Questions: Carrier Heat Pump Cost
How much does a Carrier heat pump cost installed?
A Carrier heat pump costs $5,400 to $14,500 installed in 2026 for a ducted residential replacement, modeled across the 2 to 5 ton range. The Comfort 16 single-stage unit anchors the bottom at $5,400 to $9,800. The Performance line spans $5,800 to $13,400 depending on whether you take the single-stage, two-stage, or variable-speed model. The Infinity line runs $7,800 to $14,500. The most common project, a 3-ton Performance 18, lands between $7,500 and $9,400. Carrier itself publishes a much wider figure of $6,000 to $25,000, but that number covers ducted, ductless, and geothermal equipment in one range, so it is too broad to budget a ducted replacement against.
Which Carrier heat pump is best for cold climates?
The Infinity 21 Ultimate Cold Climate Heat Pump, model 27VNA1, is Carrier’s cold-climate unit. Carrier rates it for heating operation down to minus 23 degrees Fahrenheit and publishes up to 12.5 HSPF2, which is the highest heating efficiency figure in Carrier’s residential heat pump catalog and is meaningfully above the flagship Infinity 23 at 10.5 HSPF2. It is ENERGY STAR certified, modulates between 30 and 100 percent capacity, and operates as low as 54 decibels. One unusual detail matters for planning: Carrier states this model is offered in a single size that modulates up and down to suit the home, so you do not select a tonnage for it the way you would for every other model in the lineup. Expect $10,900 to $14,500 installed.
Does a Carrier heat pump qualify for the federal tax credit in 2026?
No. The IRS states that the Section 25C Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit is allowed for qualifying property placed in service on or after January 1, 2023, and before December 31, 2025. A Carrier heat pump placed in service in 2026 receives no federal 25C credit, and the former $2,000 heat pump cap no longer applies to anything you install this year. Many Carrier pricing pages still advertise that credit, so treat any payback math built on it as wrong. What is live instead is Carrier Cool Cash, worth up to $2,100 on qualifying equipment purchased between August 1 and November 20, 2026 and claimed by 10:59 p.m. CST on December 20, 2026, plus state and utility programs you can look up by ZIP code in the DSIRE database.
What is the difference between Carrier Comfort, Performance, and Infinity heat pumps?
The three series differ by compressor behavior, efficiency ceiling, and sound level:
- Comfort is the single-stage entry line. The Comfort 16 reaches up to 16 SEER2 and 8.1 HSPF2, runs as low as 70 decibels, and costs $5,400 to $9,800 installed.
- Performance spans three compressor types, from the single-stage Performance 16 at 16.5 SEER2 through the two-stage Performance 18 at 18.5 SEER2 to the variable-speed Performance 19 at 19 SEER2 and 10 HSPF2, covering $5,800 to $13,400 installed.
- Infinity is the variable-speed communicating line with Greenspeed Intelligence, reaching 23 SEER2 on the Infinity 23 and 12.5 HSPF2 on the Infinity 21 Ultimate Cold Climate, at $7,800 to $14,500 installed.
All efficiency figures above are Carrier’s own published ratings.
What happened to Carrier’s older heat pump model numbers?
Carrier’s current residential heat pump catalog uses 27-series model numbers and Puron Advance (R-454B). Older 25-series heat pumps belong to the previous R-410A generation and no longer appear in the current catalog. The 24VNA6 is a retired air conditioner, not a heat pump, and Carrier’s decommissioning page remains live. A retired archive page documents previous equipment; it does not make that model part of the current heat pump lineup.
What warranty comes with a Carrier heat pump?
Carrier heat pumps carry the Consumer Choice Warranty, which depends on registration:
- Registered within 90 days: choose either 10 years parts only, or 5 years parts plus 3 years labor.
- Not registered within 90 days: 5 years parts, with no labor coverage.
- Dealer participation: the labor option is available only if your installing dealer has elected to join the Consumer Choice program.
- Eligibility: new residential construction is excluded; the program covers replacement installations.
- Automatic coverage: jurisdictions where warranty benefits cannot be conditioned on registration receive the 10-year parts coverage without registering.
Pricing on this page is modeled per our pricing methodology because Carrier publishes a relative Price Guide rather than installed dollar figures.
