Does home insurance cover HVAC replacement?

This year I replaced my home’s HVAC system, which cost a few grand. I would like to think my investment is protected. Does my home insurance policy cover HVAC replacement if it breaks down?

That’s a big home project, and I bet the HVAC system is in pristine condition! Your
home insurance
policy can help cover a replacement for your HVAC system if the damage was caused by a named peril, which can be found in your home insurance policy documents.
Generally, the list of perils covered by your home insurance will include fire, hail, falling objects, wind, and more. If your HVAC system was damaged by any of the perils listed in your home insurance policy documents, your insurance carrier should help you cover the costs of repair or replacement.
A standard homeowners insurance policy will not cover your HVAC system if it breaks down for any of the following reasons:
  • Owner neglect
  • Typical wear and tear
  • Old age
  • Earthquake damage
  • Flood damage
