Warranties in HVAC Systems: What You Need to Know
When investing in a heating and air conditioning system, you're not just purchasing equipment; you're securing comfort and convenience for years to come. One of the key components that ensures peace of mind is the warranty that comes with your system. A solid warranty protects you from unexpected repair costs and guarantees that your HVAC system runs efficiently for the long term.
In this blog, we’ll explore the different types of warranties available for HVAC systems, what they cover, and why choosing MR. AIR NYC as your service provider brings you additional benefits through our efficient processes and exclusive extended warranties.
Types of HVAC Warranties & Why it’s important
Understanding the types of warranties that come with your HVAC system can help you make informed decisions. The importance of warranties cannot be overstated when it comes to avoiding costly repairs. However, it’s not just about having a warranty in place — proper processing and registration are crucial. If your contractor fails to process the warranty correctly or doesn't file the necessary paperwork, you could be left paying thousands out-of-pocket for repairs that should have been covered.
For example, an unregistered compressor that fails after five years could cost a homeowner anywhere from $2,500 to $4,500 to replace — a cost that could have been avoided with proper warranty registration. Similarly, parts that aren’t under warranty can result in repair bills reaching $1,000 or more depending on the component. These expenses add up quickly and can take homeowners by surprise if the contractor handling the installation doesn't have reliable processes in place.
Many companies fall short by failing to register equipment on time or by mishandling paperwork, leaving homeowners in a tough spot when repairs arise. Choosing a contractor with a poor track record of paperwork processing can mean missing out on critical warranty coverage. At MR. AIR NYC, we pride ourselves on not only installing equipment properly but also handling all warranty processing with the utmost diligence, so you're covered in the long term.
Here are the three most common types of warranties:
1. Manufacturer's Warranty
This is the standard warranty provided by the manufacturer of your HVAC system. It typically covers defects in parts or components and lasts anywhere from 1 to 7 years, depending on the brand and model. The manufacturer's warranty often requires that the system be installed by a licensed contractor to remain valid.
2. Extended Warranty
An extended warranty offers longer coverage than the standard manufacturer’s warranty. At MR. AIR NYC, we offer extended warranties that cover both parts and the compressor, giving you an extra layer of protection. Notably, we provide exclusive access to Mitsubishi's City Multi & Residential Warranties, which come with significant benefits:
City Multi Warranty:
Parts are covered for 1 year, and the compressor is covered for 7 years.
If the Mitsubishi system is installed by a Mitsubishi Diamond Contractor like MR. AIR NYC, you automatically receive a 10-year warranty on parts and compressors. This extended coverage ensures you're protected from defects caused by workmanship or material flaws for a full decade.
Residential Warranty:
Parts are covered for 5 years, and compressors are covered for 7 years.
When installed by a Diamond Contractor, the warranty extends to an unmatched 12 years on both parts and compressors. This means long-term peace of mind that many homeowners miss out on when working with non-certified contractors.
3. Labor Warranty
While manufacturer and extended warranties cover the cost of parts, a labor warranty covers the cost of the technician’s time and work when repairs are necessary. Not all companies offer labor warranties, but MR. AIR NYC ensures you’re protected with comprehensive coverage, so there are no hidden repair fees.
