The first year was a blanket warranty.
When we bought our current Heating, Ventilation & A/C system, we had a full replacement warranty for the first year only.
For the next two years, we acquired a partial warranty.
When I asked what the full replacement warranty covered, they said it was a blanket warranty that would even allow us to get a current Heating, Ventilation & A/C system for nothing should there be any complications. This sounded love a good method to me, although I wasn’t a specialist on Heating, Ventilation & A/C systems or warranties. All I knew was what our father said. You knew when the warranty ended, because the appliance broke down. I thought he was kidding, although I was soon to find out he wasn’t. We bought our Heating, Ventilation & A/C system early in the fall, after we needed air conditioning & before we needed heating. They replaced all the HVAC duct, installed a current gas furnace, air conditioning unit, & an UV air purifier for the whole house. Two mornings after our warranty ended, the UV air purifier quit working. I called the Heating, Ventilation & A/C supplier, & they sent an Heating, Ventilation & A/C contractor out to the house. He told our hubby that we needed a current UV light, which we did not suppose would be too extravagant, but the Heating, Ventilation & A/C tech wasn’t done. When we turned off the air conditioning & were going without AC or heat, there was nothing to keep the UV air purifier running. It depended on the air conditioning or gas furnace to keep it running. I asked if it was possible to have it running independently, & he said the warranty was over & we would need to spend our savings for that service.
