Protection You Can Count On

HVAC Warranties in Keystone Heights

A new heating and cooling system is a big investment, and the warranty behind it matters. Every new residential system we install comes with a 10-year parts warranty from the manufacturer. Because a parts warranty doesn’t pay for the labor to install those parts, we now offer an optional 10-year labor warranty through JB Warranties, too. Together, they give Clay & Putnam County homeowners long-term coverage on both sides of a repair bill. Here’s how each one works, and how to make sure you keep it.

Warranty Basics

Parts vs. Labor: What a Warranty Really Covers

10-Year Parts Warranty

Every new residential system we install comes with a 10-year parts warranty from the manufacturer. If a covered part fails because of a manufacturer defect, the replacement part is covered.

Labor Is Separate

A manufacturer’s parts warranty pays for the part, not the time it takes a technician to diagnose the problem and install the replacement. On many repairs, the labor is the bigger share of the bill.

Optional 10-Year Labor Warranty

For added protection, we now offer an optional 10-year labor warranty through JB Warranties. It must be added within six months of installation, so if we installed your system within the past six months, you’re still eligible.

Registration Matters

Manufacturers like American Standard and Gree require the equipment to be registered within 60 days of installation to get their longest parts coverage. Miss that window and the coverage can be shorter.

Maintenance Protects Coverage

American Standard notes that a system not installed and maintained by a licensed HVAC professional could lose its warranty. Regular tune-ups through our maintenance plan keep your records in order.

One Local Call

When something goes wrong, you call us. Our team diagnoses the problem, makes the repair, and works through the warranty side with the manufacturer and JB Warranties, so you aren’t chasing paperwork.

Manufacturer Warranty

American Standard Parts Coverage

As an American Standard Premier Dealer, we install equipment backed by American Standard’s limited warranties. They cover the cost of parts that fail due to a manufacturer defect — not the labor to replace them. How long that coverage lasts depends on registration:

  • Registered Limited Warranty: typically 10 years on parts, including the compressor and outdoor coil, when the system is registered within 60 days of installation.
  • Base Limited Warranty: typically 5 years on parts if the system isn’t registered within that 60-day window.
  • Heat exchangers: longer coverage on qualifying gas furnaces and gas/electric packaged units.
  • Selling your home: the Registered Limited Warranty can be transferred to the new owner within 90 days of the sale.

Installing a Gree system? We’re a Gree Select Dealer, so qualifying Gree systems we install carry a 10-year parts and compressor warranty when registered within 60 days. Coverage varies by model, so ask us for the exact terms on your equipment.

Optional 10-Year Labor Warranty

Labor Coverage Through JB Warranties

JB Warranties is an employee-owned company that provides extended warranties to HVAC and plumbing contractors nationwide. We partner with them so our customers can add 10 years of labor coverage to a new system.

Covers the Labor

The manufacturer covers the part; the labor warranty covers the work. Together, a covered repair doesn’t leave you paying for a technician’s time out of pocket.

More Than One Repair

JB Warranties coverage isn’t limited to a single repair or a set number of repairs. It stays with the equipment for the life of the plan agreement.

No Deductible

JB Warranties does not charge or collect a deductible on its plans, so a covered repair doesn’t come with a surprise fee at the end.

Free to Transfer

JB Warranties plans cover the equipment regardless of who owns it and can be transferred to a new homeowner free of charge — a nice selling point if you move.

Insured Coverage

JB Warranties plans are underwritten and insured by Dealers Assurance Company, so your coverage is backed by more than a handshake.

Add It Within Six Months

Our 10-year labor warranty must be added within six months of installation. If we installed your system within the past six months, give us a call — you’re still eligible.

How It Works

Keeping Your Warranty Working for You

Step 1 of 5

Install a New System

Warranty protection starts with a proper installation by a licensed contractor. Our team sizes, installs, and starts up your new system, then walks you through the coverage that comes with it.

  • American Standard Premier Dealer
  • Gree Select Dealer
  • Licensed Florida HVAC contractor
  • Installation date on record for your warranty

Step 2 of 5

Register Within 60 Days

American Standard and Gree both tie their longest parts coverage to registering the equipment within 60 days of installation. Dealers often handle registration for their customers — ask us to confirm yours is on file.

  • Registration unlocks the longer parts warranty
  • Keep your model and serial numbers handy
  • Save your registration confirmation
  • We’re happy to help if you have questions

Step 3 of 5

Add Labor Coverage Within Six Months

Our optional 10-year labor warranty through JB Warranties must be added within six months of installation. You can add it when we install your system, or call us any time inside that window.

  • 10 years of labor coverage
  • No deductible
  • Free transfer if you sell your home
  • Not limited to a single repair

Step 4 of 5

Keep Up With Maintenance

Warranties protect against defects, not neglect. American Standard notes that skipping professional installation and maintenance could void your warranty. Our maintenance plan covers up to two tune-ups a year and keeps a service history on file.

  • Regular professional tune-ups
  • Service records for your warranty file
  • Small problems caught early
  • Priority scheduling for plan members

Warranty Questions

HVAC Warranty FAQs

A manufacturer’s parts warranty covers the cost of a part that fails because of a manufacturer defect. It doesn’t cover the labor to diagnose the problem and install the new part. A labor warranty covers that work, so the two together protect you on both sides of a covered repair.

Yes. Every new residential system we install comes with a 10-year parts warranty from the manufacturer. Exact coverage depends on the brand, model, and registration, so ask us for the specific terms on your equipment.

American Standard’s Registered Limited Warranty typically covers parts for 10 years, but only when the equipment is registered within 60 days of installation. Without registration in that window, the system falls under the Base Limited Warranty, which typically lasts 5 years.

Our optional 10-year labor warranty must be added within six months of installation. If we installed your system within the past six months, you’re still eligible — contact us and we’ll get it set up.
