SaferProducts.gov consumer incident report 20250402-92CFA-2147332149. Matched catalog product: Carrier Infinity HVAC system. Incident: I purchased a manufactured home from [REDACTED], and have experienced ongoing HVAC and flooring issues since installation. The HVAC system (Carrier unit) has consistently leaked water into the vents, causing damage to the ducting and potentially creating mold and air quality concerns. Despite multiple repair attempts and warranty claims, the problem persists.

Reddit post by u/Bulky-Level4492 (r/hvacadvice). Home had a ~5-year-old Carrier Infinity; within a year compressor and control board failed, leading to a ~$9k replacement in 2020. Over six years further failures cost ~$16,484 in parts/labor/recharge beyond that, and another compressor/control-board failure left the home without AC due to backordered parts while warranty years remained.
