You are counting on your new air conditioning unit to keep your home cool for years to come, and you do not want to find out your AC warranty is void if or when you do eventually need repairs to keep it running.<\/p>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<p>Unfortunately, a lot of people do things that void their AC warranty without even realizing it.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, with just a few things in mind, you can avoid ending up in this position, and keep your AC running well for years. One thing you should always do when buying new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/air-conditioners.html\">air conditioners<\/a> is to ask about the AC warranty &#8212; are there any uncommon policies on the AC warranty? How long does it last? Your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating &amp; air conditioning<\/a> service professional should be able to answer these questions for you and may even provide additional warranties to the manufacturer&rsquo;s. If you are in the market for a new AC system in the greater St. Louis area, contact Galmiche &amp; Sons, today!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_Avoid_for_the_Sake_of_Your_AC_Warranty\"><\/span>Things to Avoid for the Sake of Your AC Warranty<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Always check the fine writing on your AC warranty paperwork, but below are a few things that are sure to cause an issue when it comes to your manufacturer&rsquo;s warranty.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performing_Improper_Repairs_and_Using_the_Wrong_Replacement_Parts\"><\/span>Performing Improper Repairs and Using the Wrong Replacement Parts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/mistakes-void-ac-warranty-2.jpg\" alt=\"Protect your AC Warranty\" width=\"250\" height=\"230\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-5626\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of the most obvious ways to void your AC warranty is by performing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/air-conditioner-repair.html\">air conditioner repairs<\/a> yourself. You might think this a good way to save on service fees, but it is easy to make a mistake that could void your AC warranty. Many manufacturers will void your warranty if even one part is &ldquo;off-brand&rdquo; or &ldquo;aftermarket&rdquo;. That means the part was made by someone other than the original manufacturer or possibly that it is a used or repurposed part. The reason for this is that parts not made for your particular air conditioner might work improperly with the other components, causing increased wear and tear, and possibly even bigger problems.<\/p>\n<p>You will also want to make sure that anyone who does work on your air conditioner is using approved parts that won&rsquo;t void your warranty. You can ask about this to make sure any repairs being done won&rsquo;t create issues with your warranty.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_Registering_Your_Air_Conditioner\"><\/span>Not Registering Your Air Conditioner<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This one is amazingly easy to miss. A lot of people do not realize that they need to register new air conditioning units with the manufacturer in order to make good on the AC warranty. While this may not completely void your warranty, it will significantly reduce it, and there is not always a reminder to do this when you buy a new AC unit.<\/p>\n<p>A good HVAC service professional will provide you with all the information you need to register your new air conditioner, but you should also do a little research yourself and make sure you have the right information. One thing to look out for is a registration deadline. Many manufacturers only give you 60-90 days after purchase to register, so make sure you take care of this right away so you do not forget.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Not_Getting_Regular_Maintenance\"><\/span>Not Getting Regular Maintenance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Finally, most manufacturers include a maintenance requirement in their AC warranty. This means that your warranty can be voided if you do not have regular maintenance checks done on your air conditioner. Usually, regular means scheduling an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/hvac-blog\/why-air-conditioning-tune-up-every-year\/\">air conditioning tune up<\/a> once a year, and this a good idea even if your AC warranty doesn&rsquo;t require it. You might find problems you did not know about, and your unit will run better with regular maintenance checks. Make sure to keep a record of these visits to make good on your AC warranty!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Learn_More_and_Schedule_Maintenance_for_Your_HVAC_System\"><\/span>Learn More and Schedule Maintenance for Your HVAC System<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>To learn more about maintaining your AC warranty or schedule a maintenance visit, just get in touch with our St. Louis <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galmicheandsons.com\/contact-galmiche.php\">heating &amp; air conditioning<\/a> professionals today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Buying a new air conditioner is a big investment.
