When it comes to heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) maintenance services, there are two types of warranties that you should be aware of. The first is an equipment warranty provided by the manufacturer, which covers any malfunctions or faults related to a defective part. The second is a labor warranty provided by the contractor, which covers the costs of service calls and labor costs for repairs. The details of the manufacturer's warranty vary from vendor to vendor, but generally it covers manufacturing defects and related repairs.
Some of the best warranties are offered by Daikin, Goodman, Amana, Day & Night, KeepRight, Maytag, Heil and Tempstar. It's important to understand what type of warranty you get with an HVAC repair service in order to protect your investment. When selecting a provider, make sure to ask about their warranties and how long they last. Some contractors may not provide warranty service and refer customers to other suppliers.
Residential air conditioning warranties provide protection against possible breakdowns or malfunctions that may arise in the air conditioning system. When looking for a protection plan for your HVAC system, it's important to know the different types of HVAC warranty and what you get. If your HVAC equipment is less than two years old and isn't working, it may be covered both by the manufacturer's limited warranty and by your homebuilder's HVAC contractors, who by law offer a two-year warranty on labor. In addition, air conditioning service companies or third-party insurers associated with them may offer labor guarantees when available.
The HVAC extended warranty is a service contract that is offered and paid for outside of the manufacturer's warranty. Knowing what type of coverage you have can help you make an informed decision when selecting an HVAC repair service provider.
