Nebraska What is the value of a warranty?

I have the opportunity to save about $5,000 in equipment price by going with 2 ClimateMaster geo units that are 2014 models on closeout. The only real difference is the warranty. Instead of 10/10 on parts and labor, the offered warranty is 10 on refrigeration parts, 5 on other parts and only 1 year labor. Is a better warranty worth the added costs? That seems I could pay for a lot of repairs before making up the difference.

 

Save the money...

 

I agree , save the money and remember : the warranty is only as good as the dealer.

 

That's kind of the way I was leaning. Thanks.

 

Energy Star requirements to qualify for Federal Tax Credit are here-
http://www.energystar.gov/sites/def...rmal_Heat_Pumps_Program_Requirements v3.1.pdf

4) Warranty Requirements: Partner shall provide, as standard, a manufacturer limited warranty for its ENERGY STAR qualified geothermal heat pump models for all parts and labor for a minimum of two years. The major refrigerant circuit components, including the compressor(s), heat exchanger(s), and expansion and reversing valve(s) shall be warranted for parts and labor for a minimum of five years.

You will have to decide if the warranty is worth it and Energy Star Qualification.

 

I'd get another opininon. I'm not aware of a change in CM warranty.
