🧾 1. Why Registering Your Warranty Matters
Most HVAC manufacturers offer a base 5-year limited warranty, but extend it to 10 years if you register your equipment shortly after installation.
Typical registration period:
-
Within 60 to 90 days of install (varies by brand)
Without registration:
-
Warranty is often cut in half
-
You may lose labor coverage
-
Some parts (like coils or control boards) might not be covered at all

🛠️ 2. What You’ll Need to Register
Before jumping online, have these ready:
| Requirement | Description |
|---|---|
| Model & Serial Numbers | Found on the condenser and indoor coil |
| Installation Date | From your HVAC invoice or receipt |
| Installer Info | License number or business name |
| Proof of Purchase | Copy of invoice or retailer order # |
You’ll enter this into the brand’s official registration site. Some retailers (like The Furnace Outlet) may email you instructions post-purchase.

🔐 3. What’s Actually Covered?
Each brand is a little different, but most 10-year limited warranties cover:
-
Compressor
-
Condenser coil
-
Fan motor
-
Factory-installed electrical parts
What’s not usually covered:
-

-
Damage from improper installation
-
Unregistered systems
-

🧰 4. How to Keep the Warranty Valid
Most manufacturers require proof of annual maintenance to honor long-term claims.
✔️ Schedule a yearly HVAC checkup
✔️ Keep digital or printed invoices
✔️ Document any repairs or part replacements
✔️ Never mix refrigerants (R410A in an R32 system = voided instantly)
Many warranties are non-transferable, but some brands allow transfer for a small fee if you sell your home.

✅ Final Checklist
Before the 90-day clock runs out:
✅ Register your system (brand site)
✅ Confirm it’s installed by a licensed HVAC pro
✅ Save receipts and model/serial info
✅ Set a reminder for yearly maintenance
“Do this once — and future-you will thank you when the part goes bad and it’s 100° outside.”
