Some advice and common sense about warranties:

As with most contracts, the first and most important thing to read in any warranty is the smallest print… unless it’s a “No questions asked” warranty (which they never are). Almost all warranties are only as good as the honor of the company standing behind it. Some companies have literally NEVER performed on their warranty because it is NEVER the fault of the product. “I know this compressor is only two months old, but it obviously failed from low voltage (or high voltage, or a lightning strike, or it’s burned from a lack of cooling water – TAKE YOUR PICK.)”.

The most wonderful sounding and comprehensive warranty can be absolutely worthless. In some cases, they offer extended warranties for a handsome fee, which are again absolutely worthless with the wrong company – save your money. These are nothing more than a very lucrative alternate profit center. We do not offer “extended warranties” for a fee and we do stand behind our products.
