Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to Bill H 5007 provides that manufacturers' warranties for heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems will automatically transfer to new owners when the property is sold, effective June 30, 2026. This means that if homeowners sell their property with an HVAC system that still has a warranty, the next owner will benefit from that coverage without needing to take any additional steps. This change is important because it can enhance property value and provide peace of mind for new homeowners, ensuring they are protected from potential repair costs associated with the HVAC system.

  Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
  SECTION 1.  Chapter 1, Title 39 of the S.C.
Code is amended by adding:
      Section 39-1-100.  (A) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if a residential real property that includes a heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system as a fixture to the property is conveyed to a new owner after June 30, 2026, a manufacturer's warranty in effect on that system or a component of that system:
       (1) is automatically transferred to the new owner;
and        (2) continues in effect as if the new owner was the original purchaser of such system or component, as applicable.
    (B) A warrantor continues to be obligated under the terms of a manufacturer's warranty agreement for a warranty transferred pursuant to this section and may not charge a fee for the transfer of the warranty.
    (C) The transfer of a manufacturer's warranty pursuant to this section does not extend the remaining term of the warranty.
    (D) A manufacturer's warranty of an HVAC system or a component of the system may not be in any way conditioned upon the product registration.
    (E) This section applies if:
       (1) a sale of a residential property that includes an HVAC system as a fixture to the property occurs after June 30, 2026;
and        (2) a manufacturer's warranty is still in effect on the HVAC system or a component of the system.
  SECTION 2.  This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
