Warranty Duration and Key Components Covered
How Long the OLMO Warranty Lasts
For most of the OLMO mini split air conditioner models, the coverage is divided into two periods:
- Five-Year Parts Warranty: For five years, if a part inside your mini split AC unit breaks because of a factory mistake, OLMO will send you a new replacement part.
- One-Year Labor Warranty: For the first year, they’ll also cover the cost of the technician’s work to install that replacement part.
Always check the specific warranty card that comes with your mini split HVAC system. Some models or special offers may have different terms. If you purchase from a trusted HVAC store like South Mini Splits, you can ask our team for help understanding your specific coverage.
What is Covered Under the Warranty?
The warranty specifically covers manufacturing defects in the core machinery of your split AC system. This includes:
- Key Parts: The heart of your system, including the compressor, coils, and electronics.
- Unit Coverage: Both the indoor **air handler unit** and the outdoor unit are protected.
Most mini split warranties require you to register the unit online within a certain window (often 90 days) after installation. Failure to register may limit your parts coverage to the basic one-year period.
What Voids Your Warranty and How to Claim
Understanding the exclusions is just as important as knowing what's covered. If a problem is caused by user error or neglect, the warranty won't help.
What Is Usually NOT Covered
- Improper Installation: If your installer makes a mistake, the warranty won't cover the resulting damage. This emphasizes the need for a professional air conditioner installation**.
- Normal Wear and Tear: Consumable parts like air filters that wear out over time.
- Lack of Maintenance: Failure to perform regular maintenance, such as cleaning the air handler unit or changing filters, can void your coverage.
- Accidents/Misuse: Damage from external events, tampering, or misuse of the system.
Step-by-Step Claim Process
If you suspect your ductless mini split air conditioner has a problem covered by the warranty, here’s the simple process:
- 1. Check Your Paperwork: Find your warranty card and receipt. You’ll need the unit’s serial number and proof of purchase.
- 2. Contact South Mini Splits or Your Installer: We can help you start the process, diagnose the issue, and sometimes contact OLMO directly on your behalf.
- 3. Describe the Problem: Clearly tell them what's wrong (e.g., "The unit is not cooling," "There's a strange noise").
- 4. Follow Instructions: They will guide you through the next steps, whether that means sending a technician or inspecting a faulty part.
