AC Tips: How many types of warranties come with an AC? Find out before buying a new air conditioner..

AC Warranty: The summer season has arrived, and you may be planning to purchase a new Air Conditioner this year. However, when searching for a new AC, do you focus solely on the features it offers and the specific deal you are getting? If so, you are only doing half the job. The process is truly complete only when—in addition to features and deals—you also pay close attention to the various types of warranties that accompany the air conditioner. Many people would likely assume that only one type of warranty is provided—typically for a duration of one year—but no... the actual answer is quite different. In reality, an AC comes with three distinct types of warranty benefits. What exactly are these three warranties? Today, we are here to provide you with all the details regarding this.

Here Are the Three Types of Warranties:
First Warranty: An AC comes with a standard one-year product warranty provided by the manufacturer—a fact that is already well-known to many people. Under this one-year warranty, the company covers manufacturing defects; however, claims are typically not honored in cases involving physical damage to the unit.

Second Warranty: If you assume that your AC is no longer under warranty once the first year has elapsed, you are misinformed. While some companies offer a five-year warranty on the compressor, others extend this coverage to as long as 10 years. If you are purchasing an AC online rather than from a physical store, it is absolutely essential to verify the specific warranty duration the manufacturer is offering for the model you intend to buy.

Third Warranty: If you are purchasing an AC from a physical retail store, you should definitely inquire about the warranty coverage provided for the AC's motor and PCB (Printed Circuit Board)—specifically, how many years of coverage are included for these components. If you lack this information and your AC malfunctions in the future, you might mistakenly assume that the specific part is no longer under warranty. Consequently, you could end up paying for the repairs out of your own pocket, even though the part in question might actually still be covered under the warranty period.
