Does the Warranty Include Labor?

Reviewed by AC Direct Technical Team Updated June 6, 20263 min read
The short answerThe manufacturer warranty covers the parts in your system, not the labor to install them. If a covered part fails during the warranty period, the part is covered by the manufacturer warranty, but the contractor service call and labor are billed separately.
Does the Warranty Include Labor?AC Direct HVAC guide
Parts are covered; the labor to install them is not.

What the warranty covers

The manufacturer warranty on your equipment covers the parts themselves. If a covered component fails during the warranty period, the part is covered by the manufacturer warranty.

What it does not cover

The warranty does not cover labor, meaning the service call and the time a contractor spends installing the replacement part are billed separately. This is standard across the industry for equipment warranties.
