<nowiki>***</nowiki>'''Florida HVAC Registration Law July 1, 2024''': Following the passage of Florida House Bill CS/HB 481 Building Construction Regulations and System Warranties, CS/HB 1203 and Florida Senate Bill SB 1242 Registrations and Transfers of Heating, Ventilation, and Air-Conditioning System Manufacturer Warranties and signed into law May 29th, 2024, residents of the State of Florida are no longer required to register their HVAC products to receive the full manufacturer warranties provided the HVAC is installed by a Florida licensed HVAC contractor. The law is effective for all HVAC products installed on or after July 1st, 2024. Air-Con's current 90 day registration period enables products installed on or after April 1st, 2024 to be grandfathered into the new law. Important note: the new law affects registration and unit ownership transfer but does NOT dictate Air-Con International’s warranty policy.
