Manufacturers warranty
All new systems are backed by a 5 year manufactures warranty. If a system is still in the 5-year manufacturer’s warranty period and WestOz Trades supplied & installed the system, we will organise the warranty claim through the manufacturer. In most cases we will carry out the manufacturer’s warranty works ourselves to ensure speed of repair is priority, if the system was installed by another contractor in most cases, we can still lodge the warranty claim, we will just require the installers invoice along with required serial and model numbers as per guidelines.
Spare part warranty
For repair works carried out by WestOz Trades, In most cases this is dependent on the individual part being installed or replaced, on most occasions spare part warranty is 12 months from manufacturers.
- Evaporative Spare Parts – 12-month warranty
- Reverse cycle Spare Parts, including PCBs & Fan motors etc – 12-month warranty
Refrigerant leak warranty
If the system was installed by WestOz Trades and is within its warranty, all refrigerant leaks are covered from the Manufacturers and WestOz Trades workmanship side. If WestOz Trades repair a refrigerant leak on an older system outside of the 5-year warranty period, we offer 12-month warranty on the repair, only if the repair location is the same spot or component we originally diagnosis. As systems get older, additional potential leak spots can appear in multiple areas such as pipe work between the systems and older components. If the leak is from a new location our normal rates apply. We are transparent regarding our refrigerant repairs, and if we cannot identify the leak with our leak detectors and checklists, we will notify the client with best steps forward. Unfortunately, every leak is different and needs to be approached different for the best outcome, some more labour intensive than others.
