This page is for Marietta homeowners with Carrier Infinity, Performance, or Comfort series furnaces who want straight answers about what’s wrong and what it costs to fix. No brand-speak, no mystery fees. Just the truth about how these units fail and how we repair them.

How Carrier Furnaces Fail, and What We Actually See in Marietta

Over years of service calls across Marietta, including plenty of older homes near Kennesaw Avenue and Marietta Square, certain Carrier failure patterns show up again and again. Here are the five most common ones we fix:

• Ignitor failure on Carrier 58 series furnaces. The 58STA, 58DLA, and similar older Carrier models use a hot-surface ignitor that gets brittle with age. In Marietta’s humid summers, moisture in the air accelerates that wear even when the furnace sits idle all season. When it cracks, the furnace won’t light. We replace it with an OEM-spec ignitor, and the fix usually takes under an hour.
• Pressure switch chatter on Infinity systems. Carrier Infinity furnaces (the 59MN7 and 59TN6 lines) rely on pressure switches that are picky about airflow. A partially blocked condensate drain or a flue vent that’s shifted slightly can cause the switch to open and close in a way that looks like a control board problem. We’ve saved Marietta homeowners hundreds of dollars by clearing a drain line in twenty minutes instead of selling them a board they didn’t need.
• Heat exchanger cracking on high-hour Performance series units. The Carrier Performance 59TP6 is a solid furnace, but any tubular heat exchanger will stress-crack after 15-plus years of Georgia heating cycles. What we look for is a lazy yellow flame and a slight oil smell at startup. If we find a crack, we’ll show you the photo and give you an honest conversation about repair versus replacement, because sometimes the honest answer is that the furnace has done its time.
• Inducer motor bearing wear on Comfort series units. The Carrier Comfort 59SC2 and older 58CLA models sometimes develop a whining inducer motor at startup. Owners often describe it as “a small jet engine in the closet.” We replace the inducer assembly, not just the motor, so the new part does not inherit the old one’s housing wear.
• Control board voltage faults after storm surges. Marietta gets its share of storms, and Carrier control boards don’t love power dips. The 58 series boards, in particular, can throw false error codes after a brownout. We test board voltage before we ever order a replacement, because roughly a third of the “dead board” calls we get turn out to be a tripped limit switch or a loose molex connector instead.

Our Carrier Furnace Repair Process

1. 1
   You call, a person answers. At any hour, seven days a week. We ask what the furnace is doing, not just for your address. That saves us bringing the wrong part.
2. 2
   We tell you who is coming. Before the truck rolls, you get the technician’s name and photo. When he arrives, he shows a photo ID badge at the door. That’s the Threshold Verified standard, and it’s non-negotiable for every visit.
3. 3
   Diagnosis with a written price. We find the fault, explain it in plain words, and hand you a written price before any work begins. If you don’t like the number, we shake hands and go. No charge for the visit.
4. 4
   The right part, the right way. For warranty-sensitive components, we use OEM Carrier or factory-equivalent parts. For wear items like ignitors and capacitors, we’ll recommend the part that gives you the best value, and we’ll tell you the trade-off so the choice is yours.
5. 5
   The repair and the test. We fix it, cycle the furnace five to seven times, check gas pressure and temperature rise, and verify the flue is drafting properly. Then we clean up.
6. 6
   The written guarantee. Every repair includes a written guarantee. If the same fault returns within 365 days, we come back and make it right under our Done Right Promise. No argument, no additional charge.

What Carrier Furnace Repair Costs in Marietta

Here’s the honest pricing picture for the Carrier repairs we do most often:

• Ignitor replacement: $150 – $300, parts and labor included
• Flame sensor cleaning or replacement: $120 – $200
• Pressure switch replacement: $180 – $325
• Inducer motor assembly replacement: $350 – $650
• Gas valve replacement: $275 – $500
• Control board replacement: $300 – $600
• Heat exchanger replacement: $550 – $700, but we’ll be straight with you if a replacement furnace makes more sense at this price point

What moves the price is the part cost, access (attic furnaces take longer than closet jobs), and whether the unit is under warranty. A Carrier furnace under its 10-year parts warranty saves you the component cost, leaving only labor. We always check warranty status before quoting, because a lot of Marietta homeowners don’t realize their Carrier heat exchanger or gas valve may still be covered. Estimates are free, so call (478) 662-5175 and we’ll give you the exact number in writing.

Why Marietta Homeowners Call Brandt HVAC Co Marietta for Carrier Work

Plenty of HVAC companies can change a part. What we do differently is remove the guesswork from the entire experience. Devin Marlowe built Brandt HVAC Co Marietta on a simple lesson from his years in the trade: if you tell someone exactly what’s wrong, what it costs, and who’s walking through the door, they stop dreading the service call. Every technician we send is background-checked and identity-verified under the Threshold Verified standard. The price is in writing before the first tool comes out. And the 365-Day Done Right Promise means we don’t get paid to do it twice.

We service all major Carrier lines, and we also work on Trane and Lennox furnaces when a household has mixed-brand systems. That multi-brand experience matters, because we see how Carrier’s failure patterns differ from those other brands, and we know which fixes genuinely transfer and which don’t.
