The Top Benefits of Product Warranties

April 10, 2019

When it comes to air conditioners, furnaces, heat pumps, and other heating and cooling equipment for the home, products usually include a warranty.

At Certified Service, we have our warranties clearly state the manufactures conditions. We also clearly state who to contact for any repairs or replacements, whether commercial or from our full range of residential products.
