Warranties and guarantees explained

HVAC Repair warranties in Winston-Salem have three layers — know who honours each:

• Manufacturer warranty — covers parts defects (typically 5–12 years on major equipment) but only when installed by a licensed pro and registered.
• Workmanship warranty — the installer guarantees their labour (commonly 1–5 years). Get the term in writing on the quote.
• Extended warranty — optional paid cover; compare against the repair-cost table before buying.

Keep invoices and commissioning certificates: no paperwork usually means no warranty in Winston-Salem.
