HVAC warranty survey

What HVAC thing was/is it?
How long was/is the warranty?
How long until the first failure that was covered under warranty?
How long until the first failure of any kind?

Thanks, folks. . .:)

No idea what you mean.

American Standard AUX100R9V4V3 (2000 model) 2 stage VS furnace with 3.5 ton straight A/C (also 2000 model).

9 years old this coming November and NO FAILURES.

System has 10 year parts/labor warranty.

I was the installing contractor.

OK, 10 yrs and 0 failures within 9 yrs. for an American Standard. From my data 12% of "HVAC units" have already been replaced within this period, for any number of reasons.
If I get enough responses that call out the brand I may be able to guesstimate brand reliability as reported on this forum, not just general warranty performance.

Do I need rum to understand the question?

What kind of rum?
Any accessories installed with the rum? Coke? Fruit Juice? Ice? Umbrella?

Some furnaces never break, some i think are set on an old indian burial ground that jinxes um.

Nope.

No better then consumer reports garbage.

-Lennox G-14 Pulse. Installed 1983
-Lifetime HX warranty-Do not remember original parts warranty. Didn't need it
-No failures to date, including HX-with exception of occasional air flapper replacement during annual maintenance
-HX pressure tested annually since about 1998
Purrs like a kitten!

At least Consumer's uses real statisticians, so that is sort of a compliment.:)

Not really.

They aren't anywhere close.

So yours will probably be less accurate.
