Open Trane warranty and registration
The page has a "Register new product" option and a "Look up existing warranty" option. Trane's warranty specialists can register by phone at 1-855-956-5685 if the online system fails. We did not see the lookup screens, so we do not describe what the result shows.
Base vs registered
| Base Limited Warranty | Registered Limited Warranty | |
|---|---|---|
| When it applies | Unit not registered, or registered more than 60 days after installation | Registered within 60 days of installation |
| Typical length | 5 years ("in most cases") | 10 years ("in most cases") |
| Covers | Parts that fail from manufacturer defect | Parts that fail from manufacturer defect |
| Labor | Not covered | Not covered |
| Cost to you | Included at no cost | Included at no cost |
Trane says the length can change by product, and publishes separate PDF warranty documents for outdoor units (ACs and heat pumps), furnaces, ductless systems, air handlers, packaged units and coils. Use the one for your equipment; ours is a summary.
Optional Extended Warranty
You can buy an Optional Extended Warranty from your local dealer. It covers parts that fail from manufacturer defect and, depending on the plan, may cover labor. Trane says to contact your dealer for options; it does not list prices.
Registering
Your dealer may register the product for you, in which case they should give you a printout of the warranty certificate. Trane says never to assume this and to ask about it, because the registered term is only available inside the 60 days. If you register a new ductless system yourself, Trane says to enter the serial number followed by a dash and then the model number, for example 5001234T-MSZ-GE25VA-E1. Accessories and thermostats have no serial number, and Trane says you can register them with the model number instead.
Selling the house: transfers
A Registered Limited Warranty may be transferred to a new homeowner. The transfer has to be completed within 90 days of the home sale or purchase, with a one-time $99 fee paid by credit card, by calling Trane's warranty specialists. Whether you can transfer depends on registration date: products registered before Aug. 1, 2011 are not transferable, because transfers only began on that date; products registered after it are. Trane also notes that registration and transfer exclusions vary by state, so check your state's law.
How a claim works
You tell your Trane dealer about the problem. The dealer diagnoses it, orders the part through a parts supplier and submits the claim, then replaces the part. Under the Base or Registered Limited Warranty you pay only labor and shipping. Under an Optional Extended Warranty what you pay varies.
Worked example
A homeowner has a Trane air conditioner installed on April 10. Sixty days is June 9. The dealer registers it June 5, so the Registered Limited Warranty applies, typically 10 years of parts. In year 8 the compressor fails: Trane's warranty covers the part, the homeowner pays labor and shipping, and the dealer files the claim. If the home is sold in year 9, the buyer can take over the Registered Limited Warranty if the transfer is completed within 90 days of the sale and the $99 fee is paid. Had registration happened June 20, the base warranty (typically 5 years) would have ended in year 5, before the failure.
