Not all HVAC service warranties are the same. Taking the necessary action to protect your HVAC warranty is always a good idea. To do this, you need to understand the information on your HVAC warranty like exactly what it covers and also how long it will be in effect. Keep reading to get a better understanding of the contents of your HVAC warranty.


Benefits of Buying an HVAC System with a Guarantee

Air conditioner systems and the repair services they need from time to time are costly. But in this part of the world, we need HVAC systems in our homes to stay comfortable all year round. That's why air conditioning businesses offer warranties to secure your financial investment.


Picking the Right Service Warranty

With so many HVAC businesses in the market, you need to be intentional and read through the fine print and details in the different guarantees available. Before making your decision, ask these questions that might help you save time and money:

  • How long does the guarantee last? The typical air conditioning device lasts between 10 to 15 years. You need to verify that the service warranty lasts for a considerable duration of the HVAC device's lifespan.
  • Is there a guarantee handling fee? Sometimes manufacturers will charge you for any paperwork, even if the guarantee covers the component you need.

What could invalidate the warranty? This is one of the most essential sections to read of the warranty. Depending on the service warranty, these four small actions will keep your service warranty from being invalidated:

  1. Choosing to collaborate with a certified air conditioner company.
  2. Register your air conditioner device after installment.
  3. Scheduling annual air conditioning upkeep.
  4. Make use of trustworthy items for your AC unit repair services.

What does the warranty cover? Labor? Tools? Both? Many guarantees will cover one or the other. Do your research study before making any commitment.


Ways to Protect Your Air Conditioning Warranty

Reading through the fine print is stressful and time-consuming, but it needs to be done! As you read, write down anything that isn't making any sense to you. Ask as many questions as you need to understand all the terms and conditions.

After purchasing your warranty, the last thing you want is to discover is how little your warranty covers. If you feel uneasy, or like you don't have enough information, don't make a decision just yet. Instead, gain more clarity on your contract to prevent breaching the terms of your service warranty and also to rest assured that your HVAC will be taken care of.


While all service warranties are unique, here are some of the most common ways individuals breach their service warranties. Preventing these will help you protect your HVAC service warranty:

  • Not registering the product as guided.
  • Working with a specialist that sets up the unit incorrectly.
  • Falling short on scheduling routine air conditioning maintenance.
  • Throwing out receipts or documentation that confirms the maintenance was executed.
  • Use parts not approved by the warranty.

Choosing the best service warranty comes down to asking the right questions to stay informed on all the terms and conditions. Know what to expect from your air conditioner warranty so you understand exactly how to manage any concerns that might occur.

    Been using them for years after the owner Kevin showed up so fast when our furnace went out one year. Been a fan since! Now, Danny is so great to work with, also. So friendly, knowledgable, fast. You guys are the best!

    Danny came out on a Saturday to diagnosis and fix my mom’s hvac unit.   He was able to quickly determine what the problem was and had all the parts to complete the repair right then.  His communication was clear and did a really good job helping us understand what caused the issue.  I would definitely recommend him and will be calling his company with any needs in the future. Thanks again!

    Fantastic customer service! I had a furnace issue, called late morning and they fit me in for diagnostic right away. Technician was extremely knowledgable, walked me thru everything he found - unfortunately needed a new furnace (was 24 years old anyways), got it scheduled and installed within 24 hours as everything was in the warehouse (probably got lucky on what we needed). Overall excellent customer service, from scheduling to diagnostic, to installation. Highly recommend.

    WOW! So impressed with so many aspects of this company. We had an animal die under the house in and could smell it coming out of the vents. When I called around, pest control was weeks out and Best Owner Direct was able to come the next day. Our technician, Danny was absolutely INCREDIBLE! Very professional, kind and made sure we had the problem taken care of the same day so we could breathe again! I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future for our HVAC needs.

    Daniel was excellent, attentive to detail and committed to completing all tasks other installers overlooked. He worked tirelessly into the evening making sure everything was working properly with a water heather install, and he had a great attitude all along.

    Excellent customer service, great communications answering all of our questions, left the site clean, and very respectful of our space within the house. Arranged to have someone come from the office later in the week to explain how the thermostat works.
