Tips for Protecting Your HVAC Warranty

An HVAC warranty comes in handy when something goes wrong with your system. However, HVAC installation contractors say that you shouldn’t grow complacent, because it’s possible to get into a situation where the warranty won’t help. Here are a few pointers from the leading HVAC installation contractors in the area to ensure your HVAC warranty is protected.

Know what’s covered. Your HVAC system’s warranty has certain limitations on what it can cover. For example, some warranties will cover problems caused by product defects, others will cover problems caused by poor installation, and some will cover both. You should also pay attention to the duration of coverage so you know when your warranty can be renewed.

Avoid tampering with the unit. Some of the most serious HVAC-related problems happen because homeowners try to tamper with the unit. This usually happens when trying to DIY minor system repairs without a full understanding of the HVAC unit’s mechanisms. Damage caused by poor handling of the unit can actually void the warranty, so it’s much better to look for professional residential HVAC services.

Have the HVAC unit checked regularly. Scheduling HVAC maintenance on a regular basis does three things. First, it ensures that any problems are spotted before they can cause major damage. Second, it provides you (and your specialist) with a record that proves you’re taking good care of the HVAC unit and any problems that arise are not the result of neglect. 

Hire only accredited contractors. Regardless of how big or small any issue with your HVAC unit is, you should always have any kind of maintenance or air conditioning repair services performed by certified contractors. A great way to check if someone is accredited is to contact your HVAC brand’s hotline and ask if the contractor is an authorized service provider.
