A warranty is essential because if something happens with your product, the warranty covers the product replacement at no cost to you. You have to register your Trane product to access the warranty.
Air conditioners, heaters, furnaces, and humidifiers should come with their warranties. Sometimes, there will be various coverage for some parts of the models. Take a look at the owner’s manual so look for the details on the Trane warranty. If you no longer have it, go online and find it by looking for the age model number on the Trane unit.
For many years, Trane has run their warranty; the policy changed a few years ago. Nowadays, Trane uses a third-party warranty, which isn’t ideal for many customers.

Trane warranty registration
Trane’s Registered Limited Warranty isn’t available anymore and Trane’s Base Limited Warranty is the current Limited Warranty. There’s no more need for product registration because all Trane units will automatically include the longest available Limited Warranty for a specific product.
By registering your Trane product unit online, you ensure that your system is covered. Additionally, the manufacturer has a direct line of communication with you and informs you about buying the extended Trane warranty. In theory, your Trane dealer should have told you about it. Don’t hesitate to check out the Trane Warranty Registration page or continue reading to learn more about your product warranty coverage.
How do you register and ask warranty for your Trane product?
As you register your Trane product, you also get one of the most efficient limited warranties on parts Trane offers. You will need the serial number, the installation date, installed address, dealer name, and the model number for each product you register. When you need to lookup an existing warranty, you need the product serial number. Registering warranties online is slowly becoming the norm in the HVAC industry.
How do you see if your Trane unit is under warranty?
If you need more information on a particular Trane product warranty, you have to check them out online. Enter the serial number and find out the Trane warranty details. Another method is to contact your local distributor to learn about the warranty.
Is it possible to transfer the Trane warranty?
If you plan to move home, it’s possible to transfer the Registered Limited Warranty to a new homeowner. It can make your house more appealing to potential buyers. To succeed, you have to complete the transfer within 90 days of home sale or purchase. A $99 one-time transfer fee will be required.
We want to highlight that the transfer depends on when you registered the unit. Therefore, the warranty isn’t transferrable if you have registered the unit before Aug.1, 2011. Warranty transfers only became possible to Trane clients on Aug.1, 2011. You cannot transfer any product registered before this date.
Warranty transfers became possible to Trane clients on Aug 1, 2011. It’s possible to transfer any product you registered after that day.

Types of Warranty with Trane products
Here’s a quick look at the warranties you can get for your Trane product:
Base Limited Warranty
If you haven’t registered or registered your Trane product 60 days after installation, your Trane product has Base Limited Warranty. The warranty covers parts that risk failing because of manufacturer defects. However, it doesn’t cover the work to repair the part. Most of the time, the warranty is good for five years and the length of coverage may vary between products.
Registered Limited Warranty
According to Trane’s website, you can apply for the Registered Limited Warranty that expands the warranty term if you register your product in the first 60 days of installation. The warranty covers the spending for parts that could fail because of manufacturer defects, but it doesn’t cover labor expenditures. Typically, the warranty is valid for a decade, and the length of coverage varies from one product to another.
Optional Extended Warranty
The Optional Extended Warranty covers the spending on parts and labor. You should contact your local Trane dealer to see how to buy an Optional Extended Warranty. Contact your dealer to register the product on the Trane site. You can enroll it in the Base Limited Warranty or Registered Limited Warranty, according to the installation date. Talk to your dealer about purchasing the Optional Extended Warranty for further coverage on your Trane unit.
Is it possible to check out the warranty by phone?
