Reviewed by AC Direct Technical Team Updated June 6, 20263 min read
The short answerA defective part is covered by the manufacturer warranty, not by AC Direct. The fastest route is to have a local licensed contractor confirm the failure and pull the covered part through the manufacturer or an authorized distributor. Keep your model and serial numbers ready.

Warranty parts come from the manufacturer through a local licensed contractor, not from AC Direct.

Who covers a defective part

AC Direct is an online retailer that sells and ships complete HVAC equipment. We do not stock, supply, or replace individual parts, and we do not diagnose or service installed systems. When a covered component fails, the part is handled under the manufacturer warranty that came with your equipment. That warranty is fulfilled through the manufacturer or an authorized distributor, and a local licensed contractor is who confirms the failure and obtains the replacement.

The fastest way to get the part replaced

Speed comes from having the right information ready before you make the call. A licensed technician can verify the failure quickly, file the claim, and pull the covered part through the proper channel. To keep things moving, gather these details first.

What the warranty does not cover

Manufacturer warranties cover the part itself when it fails under normal use. Labor to remove the old component and install the new one is never covered by the manufacturer warranty. Your contractor bills that labor separately. Registering your equipment with the manufacturer after purchase usually secures the full parts term, so it is worth doing early.

How AC Direct support helps

While we do not replace parts ourselves, our team can point you to the correct manufacturer warranty channel or authorized distributor for your brand. Many buyers save on the original equipment through the AC Direct Price Promise, and a local licensed contractor handles any warranty service after the sale.
