Air Conditioner
Warranty Policy
1. Standard Warranty (Default Coverage)
Unless you have purchased and qualified for the Hisense Extended Warranty (see Section 2), your air conditioner is covered by the Hisense Standard Warranty:
- 2 years on parts and labour, starting from the date of purchase.
- 6 years on compressor only, starting from the date of purchase.
Under the Standard Warranty:
- No mandatory servicing with Hisense partner installers is required.
- All other terms, exclusions, and service procedures stated below apply.
2. Extended Warranty (Optional Coverage)
The Hisense Extended Warranty provides enhanced protection:
- 5 years on parts and labour (instead of 2 years).
- 6 years on compressor (same as Standard Warranty).
Eligibility for Extended Warranty
To maintain eligibility for the Extended Warranty, customers must:
- Service all air conditioning units purchased with Hisense at least once per year.
- Use Hisense-authorized partner installers for the servicing.
- Retain and present proof of servicing (e.g., invoices) when requested.
Failure to comply with these requirements will result in reversion to the Standard Warranty coverage.
3. General Coverage (Applies to Both Standard and Extended Warranty)
The coverage is limited to mechanical and electrical defects and applies to repairs and replacements done in Singapore while the Product is being used in Singapore.
Hisense has the sole option to repair or replace your Product with like kind, quality and specifications. In the event that it is more economical to replace your Product instead of repairing it, the original Product shall be replaced (subject to the limits set out in the relevant warranty plan) with a similar product. Due to advances in technology, the replacement product may be of lower retail value than the original Product. If the original Product is replaced, this Contract will cease from the replacement date.
Any repair and/or service by an unauthorized repairer will render this Contract null and void. Any failure to follow the manufacturer’s instructions on installation, operation, or (where applicable) annual servicing will render this Contract null and void.
4. Liability
Coverage will not, under any circumstances, extend to any loss or injury to a person or loss or damage to property or any incidental, contingent, special or any direct or indirect loss and consequential damages including but not limited to losses incurred due to any delay in rendering service related to this Contract and loss of use during the period that your Product is at an authorized repairer and/or while awaiting replacement parts to arrive.
