10 year extended warranty for labour

The answer to that question lies in the ethics and honesty of the company providing the warranty. Most people promise it, but do not explain the parameters of it; therefore, it’s a scam. There is always a cost for a yearly labour extension. The average fee is approximately $500 per year, which is why most people charge you monthly, so it doesn’t feel so expensive. In our case, at Convertible Heating, we have a flat fee of $69 per year, which gets you unlimited labour coverage. There is no deductible, and there are no limitations on the type of coverage; we cover everything. If somebody is saying a product has 10-year parts and labour and then they don’t talk anymore or explain anything further, then you are not getting 10-year labour, and the only reason you would get 10-year parts is if the manufacturer actually offers that on their product.

For some units — like Goodman, Daikin, Amana — as long as you do maintenance every year, warranty is okay. But don’t forget you need to do a tune-up, and that is not covered for extended labour warranty. Parts is regular warranty. If registered in 60 days, parts are covered; if not, parts are manufacturer's 5-year warranty.
