Clear filtersA manufacturer's warranty generally covers eligible equipment parts under its terms; labor coverage is separate and depends on the contractor or purchased labor plan. Customers should receive both terms in writing.
Many manufacturers require or reward timely product registration for full warranty terms. The installer should identify the registration process and deadline for the specific equipment.
This varies by contractor and manufacturer. Heco's proposal or closeout process should state whether Heco registers the equipment or whether the homeowner must complete registration.
Some warranties require reasonable maintenance and documentation. Customers should review the actual manufacturer and labor-warranty terms rather than assume coverage continues regardless of maintenance.
Transferability depends on the manufacturer and labor-warranty terms, and some require a transfer process or fee. The advisor should check the specific warranty rather than generalize.
Repair warranties are company-specific and may separate parts and labor. Heco should quote only its current written warranty for the actual repair.
This must come from the active Heco installation-warranty policy. The advisor should not copy another contractor's warranty length or infer one from equipment warranty.
The advisor should check whether the issue falls within Heco's repair warranty and open a callback workflow. It should distinguish a repeat failure of the same repair from an unrelated new problem.
A maintenance membership typically bundles scheduled tune-ups with benefits such as priority scheduling or service discounts. Heco should describe only the benefits and price of its actual approved plan, if one is offered.
It can be useful for homeowners who want scheduled preventive service and value the included benefits. Compare the annual cost with the number of visits, discounts, priority status and any exclusions rather than assuming every plan saves money.
Some competitors offer priority scheduling, but Heco should promise this only if the active membership policy includes it and the dispatch system can honor it.
Some plans do and some do not. Heco's advisor should read the current membership and diagnostic-fee rules instead of applying a competitor benefit.
Transfer rules vary by program. If Heco offers a plan, the advisor should check whether it follows the customer, the property or neither.
Multi-system pricing and visit scope are company-specific. The advisor should ask how many systems are on the property and retrieve the approved Heco plan terms.
This is a Heco pricing policy. Many contractors separate repair diagnostics from replacement estimates, but Heco should display only its current approved estimate policy.
Heco's advisor should retrieve active financing options, minimum project rules and application links from the current financing data. Approval, rates and terms depend on the finance provider and customer credit.
That depends on the financing provider and whether the application uses a soft or hard credit inquiry. The advisor should use the lender's current disclosure rather than make a blanket statement.
Program and lender rules vary. The advisor should distinguish rebates paid after project completion from discounts applied at sale and verify whether the finance provider allows anticipated incentives to affect the financed amount.
Often project financing can include related installation scope, but it depends on Heco's finance product and proposal. The advisor should use the actual approved project amount and lender rules.
Discount stacking depends on Heco's offer terms and the incentive program. The agent should verify both before telling a customer that offers can be combined.
Online equipment purchases may have different manufacturer warranty, installation and support rules. Before accepting owner-supplied equipment, Heco should check company policy and manufacturer requirements.
This is a Heco business-policy decision. The advisor should not promise installation of owner-supplied equipment without confirming model compatibility, warranty, code and company policy.
A workmanship guarantee covers aspects of the contractor's installation or repair work according to written terms. It is separate from a manufacturer's parts warranty.
Keep the contract/proposal, paid invoice, permit/final documents, model and serial numbers, warranty registration, maintenance records and any HERS or commissioning documents supplied for the project.
Equipment condition still requires professional evaluation. For regulations, rebates and efficiency guidance, Heco checks authoritative sources and identifies items that can change.
Tell Heco the symptom, equipment type, property type and location. We will help identify the next practical step.
