Buying a new heating and cooling system is a significant investment for any homeowner. However, many people realize too late that their manufacturer's warranty isn't a "set it and forget it" guarantee. At Patriot Heating and Cooling, we’ve seen how professional heating and air conditioning inspection services make the difference between a covered repair and a denied claim.
How HVAC Inspections Can Help with Warranty Claims
Understanding Manufacturer Maintenance Requirements
Most major HVAC manufacturers require proof of annual professional maintenance to keep their warranties valid. If a critical component like a compressor or heat exchanger fails, the manufacturer may request service records before shipping a replacement part.
Identifying Minor Issues Before They Void Coverage
Small issues, like a dirty evaporator coil or a slight refrigerant leak, can put immense strain on your system. If these aren't caught during a routine heating and air conditioning inspection, they can lead to catastrophic failures. Manufacturers often deny claims if they determine that a secondary failure was caused by an unaddressed, pre-existing minor problem.
Professional Documentation for Claim Verification
When you file a warranty claim, the burden of proof is on you. A professional inspection report from our experts provides a paper trail of your system’s health. These reports include technical data like refrigerant levels and electrical readings, which serve as objective evidence that your system was operating within the manufacturer’s specified parameters.
Protecting Your 10 to 12-Year Investment
High-quality systems, like the Heil units we install, often come with impressive 10 to 12-year warranties. To protect this long-term security, consistent inspections are vital. At Patriot Heating and Cooling, we ensure your system is registered correctly and maintained annually, so you can actually rely on that protection a decade down the road when you need it most.
By scheduling a professional heating and air conditioning inspection with Patriot Heating and Cooling, you fulfill your warranty obligations while extending the life of your equipment. Don't risk a denied claim—protect your home and your wallet by keeping your maintenance records up to date.
