Stay One Step Ahead of Your AC Warranty During the Summer

By Angie Lyczkowski | Published: June 17, 2021

Nobody wants to pay hundreds or thousands of dollars to repair an air-conditioning system that came with a warranty of several years. Unfortunately, this happens more often than you’d imagine because of homeowners accidentally voiding their AC warranties. So how can you avoid that? Here’s what to do to stay covered by your AC warranty.

Register the Warranty

The first step to keep an AC warranty active is registering it. Most manufacturers require their warranties to be registered within a particular time frame after the installation (typically 60 to 90 days). If you fail to register your air conditioner after installation, you lose the protection afforded by the warranty from the start.

It helps to purchase your air conditioner from a reputable HVAC contractor. Besides installing your air conditioner properly, such a contractor also registers it on your behalf.

Get Regular Maintenance

Air conditioners need routine monitoring, periodic cleaning, adjustments, and the occasional replacement of parts. Consequently, manufacturers usually require their systems to be inspected by a trained HVAC technician at least once every year.

During a maintenance visit, the service technician inspects your system to detect and fix small problems before they become bigger — and costlier to repair. By getting your air conditioner maintained by a professional every year, you’ll not only keep your AC warranty valid but also reduce the need for repairs and extend the life of your system.

Repair Your Unit with Only OEM Replacement Parts

While an off-brand part may be cheaper than an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part, the off-brand part will void your warranty if it’s used to replace a component within your system. OEM parts are designed to function exactly like the components they’re replacing. Lower-quality HVAC companies usually use cheaper, off-brand parts to repair air conditioners.

When an unexpected system problem occurs, your AC warranty will save you from an expensive repair or system replacement.
