The Vinland Ironclad Ecosystem: 5-Year Extended Warranty

When you invest in major electrical upgrades for your Newfoundland home—whether it is a 200-amp service upgrade, a Level 2 EV charger, or a comprehensive whole-home heat pump system—you expect flawless, uninterrupted reliability.

At Vinland Electrical, we utilize only premium, contractor-grade components sourced directly from industry-leading manufacturers. However, even the most rigorously tested, high-quality electronics can occasionally fail due to hidden factory defects or the harsh, unrelenting realities of the Newfoundland climate.

The Hidden Problem with Standard Warranties:

Almost all electrical manufacturers provide a standard parts warranty. However, they explicitly do not cover the electrician's labor. If a $1,000 smart-panel fails in year two, the manufacturer will mail you a replacement part, but you are left paying an electrical contractor hundreds of dollars in unexpected dispatch, diagnostic, and installation fees to swap it out.

The Solution:

We engineered the Vinland Ironclad Ecosystem to eliminate surprise bills, proactively maintain your electrical infrastructure against environmental degradation, and provide you with absolute, total peace of mind for half a decade.

What the Ironclad Extended Warranty Includes

When your project is protected by the Ironclad guarantee, your investment is fully secured:

5 Full Years of Parts & Labor Coverage:

We extend our standard 1-year labor guarantee to a full 5 years. If a supplied device fails under normal operating conditions, we dispatch a licensed technician, supply the new part, and install it for exactly $0.00 out of pocket.

Hassle-Free Manufacturer Coordination:

Dealing with manufacturer warranty claims, return shipping, and technical support call centers is a nightmare. We handle 100% of the RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) paperwork. You make one local phone call to our St. John's dispatch center, and we handle the rest.

Included Free: Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee:

Our electricians do it right the first time. We are so confident in our team that we guarantee the physical installation—our wire runs, our splices, and our mounting hardware—for the lifetime of your home. To ensure absolute longevity, we utilize thermal-imaging technology to verify the integrity of our connections.

Zero Deductibles:

Unlike third-party appliance warranties that charge hidden "diagnostic fees" or trip charges just to show up, our warranty has absolutely zero deductibles.

The Activation Requirement: Mandatory Whole-Home Surge Protection

Modern electrical components—like AFCI safety breakers, smart thermostats, and EV chargers—are essentially highly sensitive computers. The Newfoundland power grid frequently experiences severe voltage fluctuations during intense winter storms.

To legally activate the 5-Year Ironclad Warranty on your new equipment, your home must be equipped with a Type 1 or Type 2 Whole-Home Surge Protective Device (SPD) installed at the main breaker panel.

By installing a premium SPD (which is now mandated by the National Electrical Code), we physically shield your expensive new equipment from catastrophic grid spikes. We cannot responsibly warranty sensitive electronics that are left unprotected against the volatile utility grid. If your home does not have an SPD, our technicians will seamlessly install one during your upgrade project!

Two Ways to Secure Your Extended Coverage

Every project we complete automatically comes with our standard 1-Year Guarantee. However, upgrading to the Ironclad Extended Warranty is simple. You can secure your extended coverage in one of two ways:

  • Option 1: The Upfront Capital Add-On. You can simply add the Ironclad Extended Warranty to any major project for a one-time flat fee of 10% of the total project cost. (Note: You will still be responsible for booking and paying for your required annual safety inspections).

  • Option 2: Become a Gold VIP (The Smart Choice!). When you enroll in our Gold VIP Home Protection Plan for just $24.95 a month, the 5-Year Ironclad Warranty is included for absolutely free on all eligible work we perform! Even better, your VIP membership automatically includes the required Annual Safety Evaluation, plus priority storm dispatch and waived emergency fees.

Warranty Frequently Asked Questions

    • No. The Ironclad Extended Warranty only covers premium parts supplied and installed directly by Vinland Electrical. Because we cannot verify the storage history, authenticate the manufacturing lot, or leverage our OEM partnerships for unauthorized retail purchases, we can only warranty our labor for installing third-party parts, not the physical parts themselves.

    • This Service and Maintenance Agreement covers manufacturer defects and premature failure under normal operating conditions. "Acts of God"—such as direct lightning strikes, massive utility grid surges from downed NL Power lines, structural fires, severe ice-crush damage, or floods—are catastrophic events legally classified as property damage. These events must be covered by your homeowner’s property insurance policy. However, our VIP members receive priority emergency dispatch to restore power quickly after these disasters, and we will work seamlessly alongside your insurance adjuster.

    • Perfectly! If you are utilizing the $22,000 Oil-to-Electric takeCHARGE incentive to install a heat pump and upgrade your panel, the government is essentially paying for your capital upgrades. Because your upfront costs are subsidized, it is incredibly smart to protect that taxpayer-funded investment by rolling the Ironclad Warranty into your project, ensuring you don't pay a dime for maintenance or repairs over the next five years.

    • Yes! The Ironclad Extended Warranty and VIP Membership are tied to the physical property, not the individual. Simply notify us in writing during the real estate closing process to transfer the account. Being able to offer a fully transferable, active 5-year electrical warranty is a massive selling feature that adds immediate, tangible value to your home for potential buyers!
