Understanding the Goodman AC Warranty: A Complete Guide for Homeowners

When investing in a new air conditioning system, understanding the warranty coverage is crucial. The Goodman AC warranty offers homeowners peace of mind by covering parts and components against defects. However, to maximize these benefits, it’s essential to comprehend the warranty’s terms, registration requirements, and claim procedures.

What Does the Goodman AC Warranty Cover?

Goodman provides a 5-Year Parts Limited Warranty on all functional parts of its air conditioning units. This warranty covers replacement parts for any component found defective due to workmanship or materials under normal use and maintenance.

By registering your product online within 60 days of installation, you can extend this coverage to a 10-Year Parts Limited Warranty. This enhanced warranty includes:

  • 10-Year Unit Replacement Limited Warranty: If the compressor fails within the first 10 years, Goodman will replace the entire unit.
  • Lifetime Compressor Limited Warranty: For select high-efficiency models, Goodman offers a lifetime warranty on the compressor, valid as long as you own your home.

It’s important to note that labor costs and damage resulting from improper installation, lack of maintenance, misuse, or unauthorized repairs are generally not covered.
