Source-linkedVerify source — Reddit post

Reddit post by u/Captain-Popcorn (r/hvacadvice). One of two 2010 Carrier heat pumps stopped working and ran emergency heat continuously. Tech said unit was out of warranty, quoted ~$1500 for a defroster board, and pushed replacement because the compressor “sounded bad,” while owner preferred repair over buying a new system.
