It depends on the manufacturer, but as a general rule, most heat pumps offer component warranties ranging from five to 10 years. Most of these stipulate that coverage is contingent on adherence to and documentation of manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedules.
What if a Heat Pump Inspection Identifies Serious Issues with My System?
It depends on the issue, but if you have an older heat pump or the required repairs exceed 50% of the replacement cost, replacing an older, outdated system with a new, energy-efficient alternative can be cost-effective.
