24/7 Service

When you invest in a new HVAC system, you expect peace of mind knowing that your equipment is backed by a strong manufacturer’s warranty. In most cases, homeowners receive a 10-year warranty on major components like the compressor, coils, and other essential parts. This warranty can save you thousands of dollars in repair or replacement costs, providing long-term protection for your home comfort system.

But what many homeowners don’t realize is that these warranties come with specific requirements. One of the most important conditions is regular professional maintenance. Without it, you risk voiding your coverage—and that can leave you paying out of pocket for costly repairs.

What a Standard 10-Year HVAC Warranty Covers

Most major HVAC manufacturers provide a limited 10-year parts warranty when the system is registered after installation. This coverage typically includes:

Compressor replacement – one of the most expensive components of your air conditioner or heat pump.
Evaporator and condenser coils – critical parts that allow your system to transfer heat effectively.
Blower motor and fan parts – essential for air circulation throughout your home.
Electrical components and controls – parts that manage system operation and efficiency.

With this protection, a homeowner who experiences a major equipment failure could save thousands compared to paying out of pocket. However, there’s a catch: the warranty only remains valid if you meet the manufacturer’s terms—chief among them being consistent, professional maintenance.

Why Skipping Maintenance Can Void Your Warranty

Manufacturers require annual or bi-annual maintenance to keep warranties active. The reasoning is simple: HVAC systems are complex machines, and neglecting routine service leads to premature wear and preventable breakdowns. By requiring maintenance, manufacturers ensure that equipment failures are not the result of poor upkeep.

Skipping maintenance may seem like a small oversight, but the consequences can be severe:

Voided warranty coverage – If your system breaks down and you can’t prove it has been serviced regularly, the manufacturer can deny your claim.
Higher repair costs – Without warranty protection, parts like compressors can cost several thousand dollars to replace.
Shorter system lifespan – A well-maintained HVAC system can last 15+ years, while neglected systems often fail much sooner.

Think of it like car insurance. If you neglect oil changes and engine service, your coverage won’t apply when the engine seizes. HVAC warranties work the same way: without maintenance, you forfeit the protection you thought you had.

Real-World Consequences of Skipping Service

Consider this scenario: A homeowner invests in a brand-new air conditioning system with a 10-year warranty. After five years, the compressor fails—a repair that typically costs between $2,000 and $4,000. Confident in their warranty, the homeowner files a claim.

Unfortunately, they never scheduled annual maintenance, and they cannot provide service records. The manufacturer denies the claim, and the homeowner is left with a repair bill that could have been avoided entirely.

This situation is far more common than many people realize. Every year, homeowners lose out on warranty coverage simply because they overlooked or delayed routine service.
