Westinghouse warranty for generators
The short version
Westinghouse covers generators in full for 1 year, then keeps replacement parts only covered to 3 years. That full coverage is the same as most of the 14 brands we compared, which typically cover 1 year in full. You don't need to register to get this coverage.
From Westinghouse's published warranty, checked October 2026.
