You can protect yourself from unexpected, unbudgeted repairs after the manufacturer’s limited warranty expires. Coverage begins on the expiration date of the limited warranty (typically five years on most parts). With an Extended Protection Plan you can relax and enjoy the comfort provided by HVAC system, instead of worrying about the cost of unexpected repairs.
What is the difference between the product warranty and extended protection?
A product warranty is the manufacturer coverage shipped with the product. That warranty term is stated within the product and may require registration to fulfill the length of the term. Extended protection includes plans that are purchased by the consumer, or by the dealer and embedded in the sale of the product to cover additional expenses such as labor, or extending the term of parts not covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Even the highest quality equipment may experience mechanical or electrical failures. At today’s rates, a minor repair could cost more than the price of an entire Extended Protection Plan. Unexpected expenses can be a shock to any budget.
Heating and cooling products are sensitive to the quality of the original installation as well as the environment. Product failures due to improper installation, mismatched systems and environmental hazards are not considered a manufacturer defect and usually not covered by warranty. Routine maintenance is required as recommended in your equipment’s owner’s guide to ensure proper performance of the systems. An Extended Protection Plan may not cover repairs that are required due to lack of routine maintenance.
Choosing to purchase an extended protection plan is like giving your wallet a safety belt. It protects you in the event anything happens to your system beyond the date set by the manufacturer.
