Exceptional Value. Industry-Leading Warranty. Built for Reliability.
Exceptional Value
Century helps contractors remain competitive by offering dependable heating and cooling solutions at an attractive price point. In today’s market, homeowners are looking for quality equipment that fits their budget. Century gives contractors a trusted option that delivers reliable comfort without the premium price tag, making it easier to close sales and provide customers with the value they’re looking for.
Industry-Leading Warranty
When homeowners invest in a new comfort system, they want confidence. Contractors do too.
Century backs that confidence with warranty protection designed to minimize disruption and maximize peace of mind.
-
12-year parts warranty
-
One-year compressor replacement warranty
- Lifetime heat exchanger warranty on qualifying high-efficiency furnaces
- 20-year heat exchanger warranty on 80% furnaces
- 12-year hydronic air handler warranty
If a compressor fails during the first year, Century replaces the entire outdoor unit.
For qualifying high-efficiency furnaces (92% AFUE and above), a heat exchanger failure within the first 12 years qualifies for a new furnace replacement. After 12 years, the heat exchanger remains covered under the lifetime warranty.
No hassle. No lengthy claims process. Just replacements that get your customer back up and running quickly.
