Step 1: Is My Furnace Eligible for the Enhanced Warranty Program?
If your furnace was manufactured between 1993 and 2011 and is listed below, the enhanced warranty program may be available for you. This enhanced warranty covers the secondary heat exchanger (an internal component) upon failure within 20 years from the original furnace installation date.
Why Take Action? Failure of the secondary heat exchanger will lead to less efficient performance of the furnace over time.
| Bryant models that begin with: | 340A, 340M, 345M, 350A, 350M, 351D, 352A, 352M, 353A, 353B, 355A, 355B, 355C, 355M |
| Serial Numbers beginning with 2993A00001 and ending with 5211A99999 | |
For assistance in locating your serial and model numbers on your unit you can contact a local dealer or call us at 1-877-574-0173 for more information.
Step 2: Understand the Enhanced Warranty Program Details
If you are eligible, the following options are available:
(1) a credit of up to $525 to be applied toward the purchase of a brand new, replacement Bryant furnace.*; or
(2) replacement of the secondary heat exchanger in the original furnace with a brand new secondary heat exchanger utilizing the same design at no cost to you.**
*Credit available toward purchase of a qualifying Bryant gas furnace; credit includes $200 toward equipment purchase and up to four hours of labor, for a total of up to $525.
**Bryant will provide the parts (secondary heat exchanger, coupling box, and cold spot baffle) required for secondary heat exchanger replacement and a credit to dealers toward up to four hours of labor to make the repair. In making your selection, please note that well-maintained gas-fired furnaces can last approximately 20 years. If your unit is approaching the end of its lifespan, the secondary heat exchanger replacement will not extend the useful life of the complete furnace beyond 20 years from the original installation date. All other furnace repairs are subject to Bryant’s standard limited warranty and may be subject to additional charges for parts or labor, such as repairs to the primary heat exchanger or other internal components.
