This morning, a Carrier representative visited our state-of-the-art training room to teach our service technicians about the technology they have introduced into their product line, including Infinity, Performance, and Comfort systems.
Our team was divided into two groups to simulate the access process of connecting the chip in the control board to a “Carrier Service Technician” mobile phone application. That said, it’s important to note that we cannot access this information without permission from the homeowner.
This new technology, near-field Communication (NFC), is a game-changer for our service technicians. It allows us to remotely access the HVAC system's control board during initial set-up/installation and for service needs, such as troubleshooting during a diagnostic.
However, one drawback of this technology is that it runs off cellular service, so if we install or service a system in a rural area and don't have any service, the app won't load. Nevertheless, for these instances, Carrier has developed a “super plug” that has the “recipe” for a system's default manufacturing settings.
With access to this technology and the continued education of our HVAC service technicians and installers, we can now handle tasks more efficiently and effectively, enhancing our service quality and customer satisfaction.
