An air conditioner is a great investment for your comfort, but your unit will inevitably experience a few problems along the way—sometimes even when you’ve just purchased a brand-new unit.

Getting a defective product can be frustrating, but reputable brands like Mitsubishi offer a solid warranty program that will resolve the issues with no additional costs as long as you follow the necessary steps to avail of this service.

What is the Warranty Scheme of Mitsubishi?

To avail of Mitsubishi’s warranty program, customers are required to complete an online application at https://mecares.mitsubishielectric.com.sg/guareg/ within 14 days of the date of purchase of the brand-new air conditioner.

To complete the online registration, customers will need the information on the unit’s model and serial number tags attached to the packaging of the unit’s box, as well as the A5 Mitsubishi Electric Envelope which is given to customers upon the air conditioner’s installation. Any delay or failure to complete registration during this window will potentially result in delays in the brand’s service and support.

This was effective as of September 15, 2018, when the brand announced that it would no longer be providing customers with physical warranty cards and would be opting for this method instead.

Mitsubishi also recommends that customers keep their receipts and invoices as proof of purchase, with important information like dealer’s stamp, place and date of purchase, product model, and serial numbers present. Should any of these details be inaccurate, unavailable, or insufficient, Mitsubishi may reject your proof of purchase.

It’s also worth noting that the warranty period will commence from the purchase date as indicated in your proof of purchase. However, if any inconsistencies between the date of purchase indicated in your online registration application and the date of purchase indicated on your proof of purchase, the latter shall prevail.

The proof of purchase must have the true date of purchase to be valid. Mitsubishi reserves the right to reject servicing any customer that presents any misrepresentation of the proof of purchase.
