Warranty
The manufacturer's and contractor's guarantees covering parts, labor, and workmanship on your HVAC system — with specific conditions that must be met to remain valid.
What Is a Warranty?
HVAC warranties typically have two components: the manufacturer's warranty (covering parts, usually 5-10 years, with some offering lifetime heat exchanger warranties) and the contractor's labor warranty (covering workmanship, typically 1-2 years). Many manufacturers require equipment registration within 60-90 days of installation to receive the full warranty period — without registration, coverage may be significantly shorter. Most warranties also require annual professional maintenance to remain valid.
Why It Matters for Your Home
Your HVAC warranty is only as good as its conditions being met. Three common ways homeowners accidentally void their warranties: not registering the equipment, not getting annual maintenance, and having the system installed by an unlicensed contractor. When evaluating HVAC proposals, ask about warranty terms, registration requirements, and what the contractor covers for labor. A quality contractor will handle registration and clearly explain your warranty coverage.
