Lifetime HVAC warranty coverage for your new system, labor included.

The short answer

Does a new HVAC system come with a lifetime warranty?

Usually not. A new air conditioner, furnace, heat pump, or mini split comes with the manufacturer's limited warranty on some parts, usually 5 to 10 years, depending on the brand and on registering it in time. Most brands don't pay for the labor to fix it.

A lifetime warranty on the major internal components of the system, with labor included on covered repairs, can come from the company that installs it. Noble offers one through participating retailers. It lasts for as long as you own your home and keep up a spring and a fall service every year, it's backed by a national A-rated insurance company, and there's no separate warranty fee.

Manufacturer terms are from each brand's own published warranty and vary by model and state.

Lifetime coverage, included in the price of your system

What's covered on your new system.

Covered repairs on the major internal components of your system, for as long as you own your home. Your retailer builds it into the price of your system, so there's no separate warranty fee.

Central Air Conditioning

The outdoor unit & major internal parts.

Furnace

Gas furnaces, including parts that fail.

Heat Pump

Heating & cooling on 1 system covered.

Ductless Mini Split

Head units and the outdoor condenser.

Packaged Unit

Heating & cooling in one outdoor cabinet.

Your coverage is on the major internal components of the system, not just one part, which is the difference between a warranty that pays and one that finds a reason not to. And because the warranty comes from the company that installed your system, the people who show up to fix it are the people who know it.

We compare the four types of HVAC warranty, including home warranty plans for older systems, in which HVAC warranty is best, with a link to every company's terms.

By system

Warranty terms on a new system, by type.

What the manufacturer's warranty usually gives you on each kind of system, and what a Noble lifetime warranty adds.

Central air conditioner

From the manufacturer: some parts for 5 to 10 years with registration, and a longer compressor term on select units from brands such as Trane. Labor is usually extra.

With Noble: Covered repairs on the outdoor unit and the major internal parts, labor included.

Gas furnace

From the manufacturer: some parts for 5 to 10 years, and the longest term usually applies to the heat exchanger, 20 years or the original owner's lifetime on many models, such as Lennox.

With Noble: Covered repairs on the major internal components of the furnace, labor included.

Heat pump

From the manufacturer: usually 5 to 10 years on some parts, with registration. Trane says labor isn't covered under its base or registered warranty.

With Noble: Covered repairs for heating and cooling, labor included.

Ductless mini split

From the manufacturer: Mitsubishi Electric warrants parts for 5 years and the compressor for 7, or 10 years registered, with no labor. Lennox ductless systems carry 5 years on covered components.

With Noble: Covered repairs on the head units and the outdoor condenser, labor included.

Packaged unit

From the manufacturer: terms vary by brand and model, and labor is usually excluded.

With Noble: Covered repairs on heating and cooling in one outdoor cabinet, labor included.

Who stands behind it

Your coverage is backed by a national, brand-name A-rated insurance company, not a promise on a letterhead, and your warranty document names the insurer.

What an insurance-backed HVAC warranty means

What you do to keep it

Keep up a spring and a fall service every year, and send Noble proof of each within 30 days. Noble reminds you before each one is due. They're the same visits that keep any system running well.

Register your new equipment with the manufacturer too. The lifetime warranty sits alongside the manufacturer's parts warranty rather than replacing it, and registering within 60 to 90 days is free.

What a lifetime HVAC warranty has to mean

Straight answers

Questions homeowners ask about new-system warranties.

Does a new HVAC system come with a warranty?

Yes, a manufacturer's limited warranty on some parts, usually 5 to 10 years, with the longer term when you register the equipment within 60 to 90 days of installation. Most brands don't pay for labor. A lifetime warranty on the major internal components, with labor on covered repairs, can come from the company that installs it, through a participating Noble retailer.

Is labor covered on a new HVAC installation?

Not by most manufacturer warranties. Trane, Goodman, Rheem, Daikin, and Mitsubishi exclude labor in their standard terms. A Noble lifetime warranty includes labor on covered repairs for as long as you own your home.

How long is the warranty on a new heat pump or mini split?

From the manufacturer, usually 5 to 10 years on some parts, with registration. Mitsubishi warrants mini split parts for 5 years and the compressor for 7, or 10 years when registered within 90 days, without labor. With a Noble lifetime warranty, covered repairs on a heat pump or a ductless mini split are covered for as long as you own your home.

Do I still need to register my new system with the manufacturer?

Yes. A Noble lifetime warranty sits alongside the manufacturer's parts warranty rather than replacing it, and registering within the brand's window, usually 60 or 90 days, is how you get the longer parts term. It's free.

What does the lifetime warranty cost me?

There's no separate warranty fee. It's included in the price of your system, and a covered repair costs you $0. Your Noble retailer provides it with the installation.

What do I have to do to keep the coverage?

Keep up a spring and a fall service every year, and send Noble proof of each within 30 days. Noble reminds you before each one is due. They're the same visits that keep any system healthy.

Who stands behind the warranty?

A national, brand-name A-rated insurance company, and your warranty document names it.

What is the $5,000 rule for HVAC?

It's a rule of thumb for repair or replace: multiply the age of the system in years by the repair quote, and if the result is more than $5,000, replacing usually makes more sense. When a warranty pays for the repair, the math changes, which is why coverage on a new system matters.

Can I add a Noble lifetime warranty to the system I already have?

No. It comes with a new residential installation from a Noble retailer. If you're replacing a system, check your ZIP code and we'll tell you which retailer serves your area.
