Dangerous Experience with Carrier 2024…
Dangerous Experience with Carrier 2024 AI Flexicool AC The indoor unit of my Carrier 2024 AI Flexicool AC suddenly burst into flames inside my home in Chennai, Perungalathur, causing a fire and property damage worth ₹5, 00, 000. The AC is less than a year old. This incident was extremely dangerous and could have caused serious injury or worse. Customer support from both the Carrier AC team and their service support team has been appalling. Despite filing a complaint (CSR No: 447/2025) and a police report, there has been no proper response or resolution for over a month. The assigned service personnel were delayed, unhelpful, and shockingly rude and careless. I have also sent multiple emails to Carrier, but there has been no reply or acknowledgment. This level of negligence is unacceptable. This has been a deeply unsafe and traumatic experience. I strongly advise others not to waste their money on Carrier ACs. Safety and responsible customer service should never be compromised. ---
Response from CarrierMay 22, 2026
We are very sorry to hear about this serious incident and understand the distress and concern it has caused, especially given the reported safety risk and property damage. For a situation involving fire damage and an active complaint (including CSR and police reporting), it is important that the matter is escalated through formal channels so it can be reviewed with full technical and service records. We recommend continuing to follow up with your local Carrier service team in Chennai and ensuring your complaint reference (CSR No: 447/2025) is clearly included in all communications. You may also escalate directly to Carrier’s regional customer care team so the case is formally tracked and reviewed at a higher level. Given the safety implications, retaining all documentation—service reports, photographs, and the police report—will be important for any investigation or claim review. If you have not received acknowledgment, we recommend re-sending your complaint and requesting escalation to a supervisor level for urgent attention.
