Understanding HVAC Warranties: What You Need to Know and How Ward Plumbing, Heating & Air Has You Covered
When investing in a new HVAC system, it’s crucial to understand the warranties that come with your purchase. Warranties can protect you from unexpected expenses, but not all warranties are created equal. At Ward Plumbing, Heating & Air, we want to help you make sense of the different types of warranties available and offer you an extended labor warranty that goes above and beyond the industry standard.
Manufacturer’s Warranty: What Does It Cover?
Most HVAC manufacturers provide a 5-year warranty on their systems. This warranty typically covers parts and components, ensuring that if something goes wrong with the system itself, you won’t be out of pocket for the cost of replacement parts. Some manufacturers may even offer an extended parts warranty of up to 10 years if you register your product, so it’s always a good idea to check with your manufacturer or installer about this option.
However, it’s important to note that a manufacturer’s warranty does not cover labor costs. This means that if your system requires a repair that involves replacing parts under warranty, you could still be responsible for the labor costs, which can add up quickly.
Labor Warranty: What to Expect
In contrast to the manufacturer’s warranty, the labor warranty is typically provided by the HVAC contractor who installs your system. This warranty usually lasts for 1 year and covers the labor costs associated with any repairs or issues that arise during that period. Essentially, if something goes wrong within the first year due to installation errors or other issues, your HVAC contractor should take care of the labor costs to fix it.
The mismatch between the manufacturer’s parts warranty and the labor warranty can leave homeowners facing unexpected costs after the first year, even if their system is still under the parts warranty.
Ward Plumbing, Heating & Air’s Extended Labor Warranty
At Ward Plumbing, Heating & Air, we understand that HVAC systems are a significant investment, and we want to offer our customers peace of mind that extends well beyond the typical 1-year labor warranty. That’s why we offer an extended 10-year labor warranty for just $699.
This extended warranty ensures that if you experience any issues with your HVAC system within the first 10 years that are covered by the manufacturer, we’ll cover the labor costs as well. You can rest easy knowing that you won’t be hit with unexpected labor charges.
Why Choose an Extended Labor Warranty?
Opting for an extended labor warranty is a smart choice for several reasons:
- Long-Term Savings: With the rising costs of labor, repairs can quickly become expensive. Our extended warranty protects you from these costs for a full decade.
- Peace of Mind: Knowing that both parts and labor are covered means you can enjoy your home’s comfort without worrying about surprise expenses.
- Comprehensive Protection: HVAC systems are complex, and issues can arise even in well-maintained systems. An extended labor warranty ensures you’re fully protected.
Understanding the difference between a manufacturer’s parts warranty and a labor warranty is key to making an informed decision about your HVAC system. While manufacturer warranties typically offer 5-10 years of parts coverage, labor warranties are often limited to just 1 year.
Ward Plumbing, Heating & Air’s extended 10-year labor warranty bridges this gap, providing comprehensive coverage that ensures you’re fully protected from costly labor charges for an entire decade. For just $699, you can have the peace of mind that your HVAC investment is safeguarded for years to come.
