How Does the GREE Warranty Work? Coverage, Claims, and 10-Year Extension Guide
|
The GREE Comfort warranty has three simple claim paths. For routine warranty parts (boards, fan motors, sensors) on equipment purchased through a GREE distributor: the contractor contacts the distributor directly and the distributor handles the part replacement, no claim form is required. For compressor failures and refrigerant leaks, the contractor calls GREE technical support and confirms the failure, tech support issues a case number and a part number, which the contractor either provides to the distributor where the equipment was purchased to receive the replacement part, or provides in the online warranty claim form for equipment purchased online, or through Home Depot or Lowes. For equipment purchased online, or through Home Depot or Lowes: the contractor goes directly to the online warranty claim form for routine warranty parts, or first calls tech support in the case of compressor failures & refrigerant leaks. Warranty claims can be completed by a contractor-only, after an on-site diagnosis. The standard warranty extends to 10 years when the system is installed by a GREE Select dealer and the product is registered for the extended warranty on greecomfort.com within 60 days of installation. |
How Does the GREE Comfort Warranty Work?
GREE Comfort offers a simple, hassle-free warranty on its mini-split and multi-zone HVAC products. Most warranty parts do not require a claim form: the contractor contacts the GREE distributor where the equipment was purchased, and the distributor handles the replacement. The claim form is only used for systems purchased online, or through Home Depot or Lowes. For warranty claims involving compressor failures and refrigerant-leaks, these claims must be verified through GREE tech support, regardless of where the unit was purchased. The three warranty paths are explained in greater detail below.
All warranty resources are hosted on the GREE Comfort Warranty Program page, including the warranty brochure, the limited warranty statements, a job-site analyzer form, and the online claim form.
Which GREE Warranty Path Applies to My Claim?
Two questions determine which warranty path you use: where the equipment was purchased (GREE distributor vs. retail channel), and which part has failed (routine part vs. compressor or refrigerant leak). The table below maps every common scenario to its path.
| Part Failure | Warranty Path | How It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Routine warranty part (board, fan motor, sensor, etc.) on equipment purchased through a GREE distributor. | Path A: Call Your Distributor | Contact the distributor where the equipment was purchased after your on-site inspection. The distributor handles the part replacement directly. No claim form, no tech-support call required. |
| Compressor failure or refrigerant leaks | Path B: Call Tech Support | Call GREE technical support and provide proof of the failure after your on-site inspection. Tech support issues a case number and part number, which the contractor presents to the distributor to receive the part, or to include in the online claim form in the case of units purchased online, or through Home Depot or Lowes. |
| Routine warranty part (board, fan motor, sensor, etc.) on equipment purchased online, or through Home Depot or Lowes). | Path C: Online claim form | Submit the online claim form with required documentation after your on-site inspection. No distributor or tech-support call required. |
How Do I Get a Routine Warranty Replacement Part Through My Distributor?
For routine warranty parts (control boards, fan motors, sensors, and other non-compressor / non-leak components) on equipment purchased through a GREE distributor, the contractor contacts the distributor and the distributor handles the request directly. No claim form is required and no tech-support call is needed.
How Do I Handle a Compressor Failure or Refrigerant Leak Warranty Claim on GREE Equipment?
Compressor failures and refrigerant leaks, regardless of where the unit was purchased, go through GREE technical support. The contractor calls tech support, provides proof of the failure, and tech support issues a case number and a part number. The contractor then presents that case number and part number to the distributor where the equipment was purchased to receive the warranty part, or includes it in the online claim form if the unit was purchased online, or through Home Depot or Lowes.
Filing a Warranty Claim for Compressor Failures or Refrigerant Leaks, Step by Step:
- Perform an on-site diagnosis of the failure. Warranty claims are contractor-only and cannot be submitted by a homeowner.
- Call GREE technical support.
- Provide proof of the failure to tech support: a clear photograph of the equipment data plate, the purchase receipt or installation invoice, and, for refrigerant leaks, a photograph of bubbles on the active leak (taken with leak-detect solution applied).
- Tech support provides you a case number and a part number for you to provide to your distributor, or for the online claim form if the unit was purchased online, or through Home Depot or Lowes.
- For distributor-purchased equipment, present the case number and part number to the distributor where the equipment was purchased. The distributor uses these to fulfill the warranty part. For units purchased online, or through Home Depot or Lowes, include the case & part number in your online claim form.
How Do I File a GREE Warranty Claim for Retail-Purchased Equipment?
For routine warranty parts on equipment purchased online, or through Home Depot or Lowes, the contractor goes directly to the online claim form on the Warranty Program page. In the case of compressor failures or refrigerant leaks, call tech support first to confirm the failure, they will give you a case and part number to include in your form. Claims for retail-purchased units do not go through a distributor, and only require confirmation from tech support in the case of compressor failures or refrigerant leaks. On-site inspections are still required prior to submitting the online claim form.
Submitting an Online Claim for Equipment Purchased Online, or Through Home Depot or Lowes, Step-by-Step:
- Perform an on-site diagnosis of the failure (contractor only).
- Go to the GREE Comfort Warranty Program page.
- Click Open Claim to launch the web form.
- Read the requirements listed at the top of the form.
- Upload a clear photograph of the equipment data plate.
- Upload the purchase receipt or installation invoice.

- Submit the form. The submission is delivered electronically to the GREE warranty department. There is no need to print, fax, or mail anything.
What Documents Do I Need for a GREE Warranty Claim?
For all warranty claims, contractors should plan to have a photograph of the equipment data plate taken during the onsite inspection, and either the purchase receipt or the installation invoice. Refrigerant-leak claims additionally require a photograph of bubbles on the active leak, which you'll provide to GREE tech support.
Who Can Submit a GREE Warranty Claim?
Warranty claims may only be submitted by a contractor on behalf of the homeowner, after an on-site diagnosis of the failure. Homeowners cannot submit claims directly. If you are a homeowner experiencing a warranty issue, contact your HVAC contractor to perform the diagnosis and file the claim on your behalf.
How Do I Extend My GREE Warranty to 10 Years?
The GREE warranty extends to 10 years when the system is installed by a GREE Select dealer and the product is registered for the extended warranty on greecomfort.com within 60 days of installation. If you're a homeowner, use GREE's Find a Contractor tool to identify a GREE Select Dealer for your installation.
Steps to Extend the GREE Warranty to 10 Years for Homeowners
- Open the Find a Contractor tool and enter your ZIP code.

Why Hire a GREE Select Dealer?

The Find a Contractor tool helps homeowners identify qualified contractors, and selecting a GREE Select dealer extends the warranty to 10 years when paired with one-time online registration.
