Few things are more frustrating during extreme weather than a heating or cooling system that fails to keep your indoor environment comfortable. Learn how a valid HVAC system warranty can provide coverage for unanticipated repairs or replacements.
What Is an HVAC System Warranty?
An HVAC warranty is a pledge from the system’s manufacturer to repair or replace parts that fail to function within a specified time period.
What’s Included in an HVAC Warranty?
Issued by the system’s manufacturer, an HVAC warranty covers the functional components of the system, such as the compressor, blower motor, heat exchanger, and control board. Some manufacturers also cover labor expenses through relationships with selective HVAC partners.
Passive parts like belts, brackets, pulleys, paint, nuts, and bolts are usually not covered under an HVAC warranty. Normal wear and tear are also excluded in most cases. An HVAC warranty does not typically cover damage caused by accidents such as fires or electrical surges.
How Do I Activate the Warranty?
For some HVAC brands, warranty coverage begins when the equipment gets installed. Registering the warranty within a given deadline ensures you enjoy all the coverage benefits. Most companies give you 90 days to validate the warranty.

How Long Does an HVAC Warranty Last?
Depending on the manufacturer, a standard HVAC system warranty lasts anywhere from 1 to 10 years. Factors like whether the system is for residential or commercial use can affect the length of coverage. Ownership changes can also shorten the original warranty period.
How Can I Ensure My Warranty Remains Valid?
Failing to register heating or cooling systems within a specified time can nullify the warranty. Improper installation can also reduce or eliminate coverage.
What’s the number one reason HVAC units cease to qualify for warranty coverage? Lack of annual maintenance from an approved HVAC contractor. For warranties to remain valid, manufacturers require that the equipment receives regularly scheduled tune-ups from a qualified professional.
