Understanding Warranties for Heat Pumps: Why It Matters?
So, what is a hot water heat pump system warranty?
A commercial hot water heat pump warranty is a
manufacturer’s or supplier’s promise that the product will perform as expected for a specified period.
Warranties typically cover repairs or replacements if something goes wrong due to faulty materials.
Types of Heat Pump Warranties: What’s Typically Covered?
When purchasing a heat pump, understanding the different types of warranties is crucial to protecting your investment
and minimising repair costs. In Australia, warranties may include manufacturer coverage, labour warranties, and
even full system replacement.
So, here’s a breakdown of the most common types of heat pump warranties available throughout
Australia:
1. Manufacturer’s Warranty
This is the most common type of warranty included with most of the new heat pumps installed in Australian commercial
properties.
Warranty Coverage:
- Major components are covered under this warranty, including the compressor, condenser, air handler, fan,
heat exchanger, electronic controls, and, sometimes, refrigerant components such as the evaporator. - Some units also include a separate warranty for the refrigeration system.
Warranty Duration:
The manufacturer’s warranty is typically 5 to 10 years, but can be extended to 12 years for premium models.
However, remember that to qualify for warranty, installation must be performed by a certified professional, such as
Cyanergy. Also, some manufacturers offer extended parts warranties
if the unit is registered shortly after installation.
2. Labour Warranty
This covers the labour costs for diagnosing, repairing, or replacing defective parts. In most cases, manufacturer
warranties cover parts, but not always labour.
Since labour can be costly, especially for complex systems, it’s worth checking for better financial protection.
Covers:
- This provides the technician’s labour and service fees.
Duration:
The warranty lasts from 1 to 3 years from the installation date. This entirely depends on your service provider and
the size of the installations.
3. Installation Warranty
An installation warranty is usually offered by the HVAC company that installs
your heat pump system with professional help.
Covers:
- Any issues caused by improper installation.
- Workmanship defects.
Duration:
This is applicable for typically 1 to 2 years, depending on the contractor. Also, always try to get this warranty in
writing, as some contractors may only offer a verbal assurance, which may not hold up if issues arise.
4. Extended Warranty
Some manufacturers offer extended coverage for their models at an additional cost. These provide more extended
coverage periods and broader protection for parts and repairs beyond the standard warranty limits, giving you
added peace of mind.
Covers:
- It can include both parts and labour.
- Some manufacturers even offer full system coverage for a long time.
Duration:
Ensure that this extended warranty coverage lasts 10 to 12 years. However, regular servicing may be required to keep
it valid.
Also, check for exclusions, maintenance requirements, and whether the manufacturer or a third party backs it.
5. Unit Replacement Warranty
Offered by some manufacturers as part of their premium product warranties.
Covers:
- It provides a complete system replacement if a major failure occurs within the warranty period.
Duration:
Replacement warranty lasts for 1 to 5 years, depending on your chosen heat pump brand and model number.
6. Tank Warranty
In Australia, if your heat pump includes a hot water storage tank, this may have a separate warranty.
Covers:
- This warranty covers any leaks, corrosion, or manufacturing defects in the tank.
Duration:
Even though the warranty claims often last 5 to 10 years, it’s better to check that specifically with the tank
manufacturer.
Why Warranties Matter for Businesses in Australia?
Warranties on heat pumps can be beneficial for businesses. Thinking why?
With warranty coverage, minimum risk of expensive equipment breakdowns, and protection against unexpected repair costs, businesses can operate with greater confidence.
They minimise downtime and maintenance disruptions for your system, keeping your system running for a long time.
Additionally, having a valid warranty may be a requirement for participation in certain government energy programs, such as the Victorian Energy Efficiency Certificates (VEECs) scheme.
Cyanergy’s Warranty Offer: What You Get, What Sets Us Apart!
Hot water heat pumps, like the popular Smart Lifestyle
Australia (SLA) model, offer significant advantages for your business. For example:
- They use up to 75% less energy than traditional electric systems.
- Offer cost savings that are 3.5 times cheaper to run and ideal for high-usage commercial settings like
office buildings and hospitals. - Traditional heating systems use burning fossil fuels, whereas installing heat pumps can reduce your
dependency on fossil fuels. - Heat pumps reduce gas emissions, lowering your carbon
footprint. - Perform longer with less regular maintenance over time.
Also, SLA units are available in 200 L and 300 L capacities, making them a versatile choice across
industries. Moreover, our heat pump is 4X more energy efficient than electric systems.
Now, let’s see what Cyanergy’s warranty offers.
Here’s how Cyanergy Australia stacks up. When you buy a commercial hot water heat pump through Cyanergy
| Warranty Component | Cyanergy Offers |

Some Scenarios That Prove Warranties Pay Off
Here we’ve added a few example scenarios so you can see how warranties play out in “real life” with Cyanergy.
Case 1: Compressor failure in year 3
Imagine enjoying years of energy savings, then suddenly, your compressor fails in year three. In such cases with many companies, you’d be stuck paying for costly parts.
But with Cyanergy, your compressor is covered for up to 5 years, offering peace of mind at the same time, ensuring savings. Isn’t it a win-win?
Case 2: Tank develops a leak in year 6
Most standard warranties on hot water system tanks expire around the 5-year mark, leaving you unprotected just when things start to wear down.
However, Cyanergy’s 7-year cylinder warranty, a leaking tank in year six, isn’t a problem. This saves thousands of dollars, and customers do not need to struggle for emergency replacements.
Case 3: Control board fails in year 2
Electronics are unpredictable, and control boards are no exception. They’re essential for system operation, so if one fails, your system could shut down completely.
Many manufacturers offer limited warranties on these parts, often just 1 year. But Cyanergy’s 5-year whole-unit warranty means you’re covered for unexpected component failures like this for a long time.
Case 4: Environmental or any external damage
These are often excluded from many warranties everywhere. You’ll need to check if the damage falls under “defective component” or external factors.
Make sure your C&I properties have ground fault protection, surge protection, and water drainage that are up to spec.
