OEM Carrier Furnace Transformer 120V–24V 40VA for Model PG8JAA036070ABJA (HT01BC116)
This OEM control transformer is the factory-specified replacement for the Carrier PG8JAA036070ABJA gas furnace. It steps down 120V line voltage to the 24V signal used by your thermostat, control board, gas valve, and all low-voltage controls. When the transformer fails, the entire control circuit goes dead — you'll see a blank thermostat, no ignition attempt, and no response from the furnace whatsoever. Replacing it restores full low-voltage function and is one of the most reliable, cost-effective repairs in HVAC service.
