Product registration is a big deal for manufacturers because it gives them a better idea of who’s using their product, how it performs when used by a consumer, and gives a direct line of communication to the consumer using their product.

Many manufacturers will even include perks or bonuses for registering your product.

Furnace manufacturers are the same. It is extremely helpful for them when homeowners register their new equipment.

Many manufacturers will even extend certain parts of the standard warranty (sometimes called, out-of-the-box warranty) upon completion of registering your equipment. For example, Amana doubles the parts warranty from 5 to 10 years on select equipment we install.
