Consumer protection; warranties on HVAC systems, transfer requirements, provided

HB 95 mandates that an unexpired manufacturer's warranty on a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system automatically transfers to the new owner upon the sale of residential real property. This ensures that new homeowners receive the benefit of the original warranty as if they were the initial purchaser. The bill prohibits warrantors from charging a fee for this transfer and clarifies that the transfer does not extend the warranty's original term. These provisions apply to property sales and warranty agreements entered into or renewed on or after October 1, 2025.
