Warranty, and installing it yourself
The warranty needs a licensed installer, by ACiQ's own terms.
"The entire system must be installed, serviced, and diagnosed by an EPA-certified technician and the installation must be in compliance to your state and local installation codes."
From aciq.com ↗, read 2026-10-14. Terms change, and local law can require a licensed technician for refrigerant or electrical work whatever the warranty says.
- 12 years on the compressor
- 7 years on parts
"If registered within 90 days of a residential installation, these systems will be upgraded to an extended limited warranty consisting of a 7 year parts and 12 year compressor limited warranty from the date of initial installation for the original registrant."
