BC Wide's Labour Warranty on Furnace Repairs
BC Wide provides a labour warranty on all furnace repairs we perform. Our labour warranty covers the workmanship involved in the repair, meaning if an issue arises due to the installation or service work itself, we will correct it at no additional charge within the warranty period. The specific warranty period depends on the type of repair and is clearly stated on your invoice before you authorize the work. This warranty covers all aspects of the repair workmanship, including proper connection of components, secure mounting, correct wiring, and proper calibration and adjustment. The labour warranty is separate from any manufacturer warranty on replacement parts, and both apply to your repair. We stand behind our work because we hire skilled, licensed technicians who take pride in doing the job right the first time.
Manufacturer Warranties on Replacement Parts
When BC Wide installs replacement parts in your furnace, those parts carry their own manufacturer warranties that cover defects in materials and workmanship. OEM parts from manufacturers like Lennox, Carrier, Trane, Goodman, and Rheem typically carry warranties ranging from one to five years depending on the specific component. Common parts like ignitors, flame sensors, and pressure switches usually have a one-year manufacturer warranty. Major components like blower motors, gas valves, and control boards may carry longer warranties. BC Wide uses OEM or equivalent quality parts for all repairs, ensuring you receive the best available warranty coverage. We provide documentation for all parts installed, including warranty information, so you have a complete record of your repair.
How to Keep Your Furnace Repair Warranty Valid
Keeping your furnace repair warranty valid requires following a few simple guidelines. First, ensure the repair is performed by a licensed professional, which it will be when you choose BC Wide. Maintain your furnace according to the manufacturer's recommendations, including regular filter changes and annual professional maintenance. Keep all documentation related to your repair, including the invoice, parts warranty certificates, and any maintenance records. If you experience any issues with the repaired component, contact BC Wide promptly, as warranty claims typically require timely reporting. Addressing small issues quickly prevents them from escalating into larger problems that may not be covered. BC Wide maintains records of all repairs we perform and can help you navigate the warranty process if you need to make a claim.
Safety Reminder
If you smell gas, suspect carbon monoxide or believe there is an immediate danger, leave the property and contact emergency services or the appropriate gas emergency authority. Do not remain inside — exit the building immediately and call for help from outside.
