How long a Ruud AC warranty lasts is 10-year limited parts warranty and lifetime compressor warranty on some models when registered within 60 days, and 5-year parts warranty if not registered, identical to Rheem warranty since both made by Rheem Manufacturing Company owned by Paloma Industries. Ruud AC units including RA14 14 SEER single stage, RA16 17 SEER two-stage, and RA20 20 SEER variable speed come with 10-year limited parts warranty that covers all functional parts like control board, fan motor, coils, and electrical components if unit is registered online at Ruud.com within 60 days of installation by homeowner or contractor. Some premium Ruud models like RA16 and RA20 offer lifetime conditional compressor warranty that covers compressor that is heart of system costing 1,500 to 2,500 dollars to replace, for as long as original homeowner owns home, or 10-year if not owner-occupied. If not registered within 60 days, warranty defaults to 5-year parts warranty and 5-year compressor warranty from installation date, which is much shorter, so registration is critical and should be done immediately after installation with proof of purchase. Ruud also offers 10-year conditional unit replacement warranty on some models that replaces entire outdoor unit if compressor fails in first 10 years. Labor is not included in factory warranty, labor costs 75 to 150 dollars per hour and can be covered by extended labor warranty purchased through dealer for 300 to 700 dollars for 5 to 10 years additional.
