Warranty Claim Tips

  • Heat exchanger warranties are often separate and longer than general coverage — verify yours
  • Document annual tune-ups; skipping one year can void the entire warranty
  • Request the warranty certificate from your installer at time of purchase

HomeScore Pro Tips

  • Heat exchanger cracks are the #1 warranty claim for furnaces — and the most commonly denied without maintenance records
  • Many furnace warranties require installation by a factory-authorized dealer for full coverage
