When it comes to installing a new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, the manufacturer typically provides a 10-year warranty for the parts. This warranty covers the cost of replacing any components that fail within that time frame. It is important to note that this warranty only covers the cost of replacing the equipment, not the labor associated with installing it. The manufacturer's warranty usually covers any part of the machine that is branded with the HVAC name.
The labor warranty, on the other hand, will cover service charges, labor costs, and fees associated with installing that part. To put it simply, the manufacturer's warranty covers only parts and the workmanship warranty covers any gaps. When it comes to HVAC warranties, it is essential to remember that they cover the cost of replacing the equipment, not the cost of labor that would be paid to an HVAC company. For example, if an HVAC compressor failed, the contractor would charge the customer for the labor associated with replacing it.
