Yes. Water heater installations are covered by our workmanship warranty on the installation itself plus the manufacturer’s warranty on the equipment, all backed by our Home Comfort Guarantee. We register manufacturer coverage on your behalf and state the terms in writing before you approve the work.
Two Layers of Coverage
Workmanship warranty covers our installation — connections, venting, gas line work, and setup. If something we did does not hold, we come back and correct it without a second charge.
Manufacturer warranty covers the equipment itself, with terms varying by brand and model. Tank warranties typically distinguish between the tank and the components, and tankless units generally carry longer coverage on the heat exchanger than on parts. We tell you exactly what your unit carries at quote time.
What Can Void Manufacturer Coverage
This matters more than most homeowners realize:
- Improper installation. Wrong venting, inadequate combustion air, or an undersized gas line can void coverage entirely — one of the strongest arguments against a handyman install on a gas appliance.
- Missing maintenance. Many warranties require documented annual service. In Albuquerque, an unflushed tank that fails from sediment-driven corrosion is exactly the claim a manufacturer will question.
- No expansion tank where a closed system requires one.
- Excess water pressure without a working pressure reducing valve.
Keeping Yours Valid
Annual maintenance creates the documentation and prevents the failures. Care Club members get it on schedule with member pricing. A water softener addresses the hardness that drives most premature failures here.
Why the Installer Matters
A warranty is only as good as the company standing behind it. Contractors that open and close within a few years leave homeowners holding paper nobody will service. B. Carlson has served Albuquerque since 1971, and we are licensed and insured for both plumbing and HVAC.
