Extended Warranty for AC

Owning an air conditioner has become a necessity, given the increase in global temperatures. Air conditioners keep us comfortable during the blistering summers, while the latest models protect us from harsh winters as well. Furthermore, AC brands offer warranties on AC units, along with separate warranties on the compressors to assure consumers of their reliable operation. While air conditioning brands like LG and Godrej provide free repair service to their products, customers can only avail their services within the warranty period. You can do an AC warranty check to know about your existing AC warranty by visiting the manufacturer’s website, and then by entering the air conditioning unit’s serial number.

However, it is imperative that you also think about purchasing an extended warranty for AC. Given the fact that purchasing an AC is a long-term investment, it is wise to opt for an extended warranty, so that you are financially protected if the AC needs additional repairs after the expiration of the brand warranty. Furthermore, the extended warranty coverage begins immediately after the expiration of the manufacturer's warranty, thus ensuring that your appliance is protected at all times.

Check What Does AC Extended Warranty Cover

 
It is estimated that the home appliance failure rates, especially within the first three years of their purchase, are more than 30 percent. It is important to protect your investment, and the frequent malfunctions and breakdowns often result in customers having to run around for repairs, which takes up a considerable amount of their time and resources.

Thus, an air conditioner’s extended warranty plan allows you to rest easy, and obtain additional years of extra protection after the expiration of the manufacturer’s warranty. By opting for an extended warranty , the manufacturer covers the following costs:

• Cost of labour will be covered by the manufacturer upon opting for extended warranty
• Cost of parts will be covered by the manufacturer
• Cost of at-home service will be covered by the manufacturer
• Cost of transportation (if required) will be covered by the manufacturer
• Gas charging will be covered by the manufacturer

However, the following costs and repairs are not covered under extended warranty.

• Extended warranty does not cover physical or accidental damage, and repair of the product due to misuse, abuse, neglect, or improper maintenance
• Extended warranty does not cover defects or issues as a result of unauthorized operations, or failure to abide by the manufacturer’s operation, or failure to adhere to maintenance instructions
• Extended warranty does not cover any damage or problems caused by unauthorized repair personnel
• Extended warranty does not cover any problems or issues that aren’t covered by the original manufacturer’s warranty
