What Should Be Included in Your HVAC Warranty?

Are you planning a full HVAC replacement for the summer season? While it helps to research different makes and models to learn which offer the biggest benefits for your home, you should also take a closer look at the warranties that come with them. You may notice that some offer more benefits than others. The quality of the warranty indicates how the manufacturer stands behind the product for the long term.

Warranty Terms & Features

When evaluating your manufacturer warranty’s features, the duration tends to indicate the quality and performance of each component of the unit. Although most systems will last for up to 20 years, reasonable warranty coverage should last at least 10 years for standard replaceable parts, while the coils should be warranted from 12 to 20 years. Some manufacturers also offer lifetime warranties for some of the more costly components, but these are typically offered only on the more expensive units.

Maintenance Requirements

Most warranties also require regular maintenance to keep them valid. This will serve as proof in case your system breaks down or is damaged while under warranty. If you want to ensure your system is kept in peak condition throughout its lifespan, you can always take advantage of professional HVAC maintenance contracts that offer scheduled inspections and repairs.

Labor Coverage

Many HVAC warranties only offer coverage for parts that need to be replaced. This means they won’t cover the labor fees for the work, and you’ll end up having to shoulder the cost yourself. To avoid this, check if the warranty offers labor coverage; if not, consider a second warranty that provides adequate coverage.

Whether you’re looking for a specialist in AC repair or a good heating maintenance package for your home, Perfect Degree HVAC has got you covered. Get in touch with our team by calling (610) 529-7372 or filling out our online contact form to schedule an appointment.
