If your Amana product was produced October 1st 2026 or after, the unit comes with a revised warranty. Prior, for about a year, most equipment when registered had a “One Time” Lifetime Unit Replacement Limited Warranty. Before 2025, it was a lifetime unit replacement to original owner, multiple times if needed… However, Amana has since rolled it back. The best warranty in HVAC is no longer. It is now 10 years only, same as the Goodman entry level product line from Daikin.
It is important to not take us at our word and check the official Amana website for details. You can visit them at Amana-hac.com or you can look at this reference sheet from them.
“Equipment going forward is going to have our base warranty that includes 10 year parts, 10 year unit replacement, and 20 year heat exchanger. This change is unfortunate and not part of what we feel Amana represents. They claim this is due to states forcing changes in warranties, and various litigation against their company. Those who have equipment produced before October 1st 2026 will not have these changes apply.” -Dan @ The Good Guys
If you have a side discharge unit on equipment made after Oct 1 2026 you may have the ability to purchase an extra 5 year coverage (making it 15 years) through your dealer (which they will buy from Amana).
Warranty Limitations
- The important part of this warranty is that the equipment needs to be registered after installation within a certain time period. We register the equipment as part of our sales and installation process.
- The warranty is only valid to the original homeowner that bought the equipment. If the house sells, the warranty goes away and reverts to a 20 year heat exchanger warranty. Some states may have protections that force equipment to be tied to the house not the person, Wisconsin does not.
- Furnaces, Air Conditioners, and Heat Pumps can only have the equipment replaced once under the unit replacement warranty during the 10 year period (to our knowledge).
What constitutes a replacement under this warranty?
Furnaces: If we are at your home inspecting the heat exchanger and realize that it has failed (could be in many different ways), we reach out to our distributor and get approval. This process takes us typically under 10 minutes. Once approval is made we can queue your replacement as soon as possible. We prioritize these replacements, and can happen as soon as the same day if our schedule allows.
Air Conditioner / Heat Pumps: If your compressor has mechanically failed, we will reach out to our distributor to get approval. This process takes us typically under 10 minutes. Once approve is made we can queue your replacement as soon as possible. We do our best to prioritize replacements under this warranty.
Are there additional costs involved?
If your replacement is done while under an active Part & Labor warranty, there should be no cost to you for the replacement of a unit. If it is past 10 years, you would be liable for the labor to change the unit.
What voids replacement?
There are things that can void coverage. Like any warranty program, acts of god (natural disasters), floods, electrical surges, brownouts, etc. void the warranty.
If your equipment has been neglected, and the neglect is what caused it to fail. Please do routine maintenance so we don’t have to be having that conversation.
