Limited Service Warranty
1. Overview
This Warranty Policy & Service Disclaimer defines the scope, limitations, and conditions of warranty coverage provided by Local Home Services for appliance repair services.
By approving, authorizing, or receiving services, the customer acknowledges and agrees to the terms set out in this policy.
2. Limited Warranty Coverage
Local Home Services provides a limited warranty on labor and workmanship only for completed repairs performed by its technicians.
2.1 Labor and Workmanship
Labor and workmanship are warranted for a period of up to ninety (90) days from the date of service.
This warranty applies strictly to the specific repair performed and does not extend to the appliance as a whole.
2.2 Parts Warranty
Parts installed during a repair may be covered by a manufacturer’s warranty, typically ranging from 30 days to 1 year, depending on the manufacturer and part type.
All parts warranties:
- Are provided solely by the manufacturer
- Are subject to manufacturer terms and conditions
- Are not independently guaranteed by Local Home Services
Local Home Services may assist with manufacturer warranty claims but is not responsible for the outcome or processing of such claims.
3. Diagnostic Services – No Warranty
A diagnostic or service call is a standalone professional service and does not constitute a repair.
No warranty applies to:
- Diagnostic visits
- Estimates or quotes
- Recommendations or assessments
A diagnosis reflects a point-in-time professional opinion based on observable conditions and testing at the time of service.
The identification of one faulty component does not guarantee that additional components will not fail in the future.
