Warranties | American Standard Gas Furnace Reviews

We recommend if you purchase any American Standard HVAC appliance with the communication ability that you also purchase an extended part and labor warranty. Furthermore, standard warranties typically only cover parts and not labor. The top of the line models has bells and whistles. Additionally, these features usually make things a bit more complex. Furthermore, it adds a level of difficulty for troubleshooting. Lastly, it is why we recommend the parts and labor warranty if available.

For heat exchangers, we recommend at least 20 years or better, lifetime. The heat exchangers in modern furnaces are subjected to corrosive condensation. The corrosive condensation is the product of high-efficiency heat exchangers that use more heat from the combustion process. Furthermore, in that process, condensation is made that is drained from the furnace through a condensation drain. Additionally, heat exchangers are designed to withstand corrosive by-products of combustion. However, you want it to last and you want the manufacturer to stand by their products.
